    Summary

    Will doesn’t have anything to lose anymore, and Mike can’t lose him. The two go hurtling towards an inevitable precipice where the only option might be to go tumbling down together, limbs grappling for each other, flesh melding, and heartbeats syncing in time.

    OR

    Will’s composure cracks and beats up their middle school bully, finishing the job Mike started. :)

    Summary

    "Why do you keep saying that?"

    "Saying what?"

    "That you're a virgin," Will says forcefully, like he's in pain.

    "Because...I am?"

    "No, Mike. You're not."

     

     

    Everything changes at Stacey's party between Mike and Will, who share more than just a first kiss. But by morning, Mike has forgotten their special night. Will, thinking Mike is taking the easy route and pretending their night hadn't happened, moves to New York and packs his forever crush in hopes he can move on. But the boxed up feelings twist and turn into hate toward his former best friend and he vows never to speak to him again.

    Mike can't remember Stacey's party for the life of him. But he does remember one thing: telling Will how he truly feels. But now Will has left town and Mike is left to believe it's because his feelings aren't reciprocated.

    Summary

    "You’re everything to me, Will.”

    And suddenly it all crashes over him. Years of feeling seen by him, of being close to him, of never being able to say it aloud. Will's anger falters, and his fists drop. “I...I can’t.” He whispers, voice cracking. “You’re supposed to be with her, Mike. You can’t-”

    “I can’t help it,” he says, voice barely above a whisper. “I can’t help how I feel about you.”

    Everything stops. Will's anger, frustration, and fear all collide into one unbearable, aching, quiet truth; Michael Wheeler loves William Byers, even when he shouldn’t, even when he’s supposed to be with Jane.

    And the worst part? Will loves him back.

    OR

    After everything Hawkins and California has thrown at them, Will and Mike are back home, but nothing feels simple. Mike is always there for Will, quietly protective, a little dense, and more attached than anyone realizes. Will notices everything, but he’s learned to keep most of it to himself.

    As the days pass, small gestures start to carry more weight than either of them admits. Meanwhile, Eleven(Jane) begins to notice the way Mike looks at Will, and her quiet observations may be the push that changes everything.

    Summary

    “’Morning,” Mike grumbled, voice low from sleep.

    “Noon,” Max corrected, as if she hadn’t only woken up thirty minutes before him.

    “Wow,” he replied, squinting at the light. “Nobody thought to wake me?”

    It happened casually after that, so casually it almost didn’t register at first. El laughed at something Lucas said, then turned toward Mike and leaned in, instinctively, easily, pressing a kiss to his lips like it was the most logical way to say good morning to him.

     

    .........

    or: Mike and Will have been together for a year and a half when El comes back. The problem is, El assumes she and Mike are still together. The bigger problem is that Mike doesn’t realize Will thinks he might choose her.

    Summary

    "I'll cry quieter."

    "Or you can cry with me here," he says, still looking at the floor. "You don't have to talk about... whatever it is. But just... Jesus, Nance, you're not completely alone."

    She exhales shakily, looking at him in the dim light of her nightlight. He looks so much older now, even older than he did a few weeks ago. Sharper. More tired. He even sounds older. Like he's lived five lives in his fifteen years.

    -

    Nancy Wheeler is in love with a girl. Mike Wheeler is in love with a boy. They're both more alike than they though, and they're both less alone than they thought, too.
