    Summary

    New City. New School. Same Old Heartbreak.

    Will Byers thought sharing a dorm with Mike Wheeler would be a dream come true. Instead, it’s a front-row seat to Mike’s awkward attempts at moving on from El. But when a messy night ends in a kiss that feels anything but accidental, the rules of their friendship are rewritten overnight.

    Will is happy to play the role of the secret lover, the placeholder, if it means keeping Mike in his life. He’s prepared for the breakup. He’s prepared for Mike to find a "real" girlfriend. He’s prepared for everything... except the possibility that Mike isn't pretending at all.

    Summary

    Mike thinks it all started the day the Byers moved into their house.

    Having sold their house in Hawkins a year prior and moved to California, when they came back, and the town got put in lockdown, they didn’t have a place to go.

    Mike had kindly offered up their place during Nancy’s graduation dinner.

    Summary

    The first time Mike Wheeler told Will Byers he loved him, they were both standing in the Hawkins Public Library, soaked in demogorgon blood, Vecna’s ashes still settling in the air like cursed snow.

    💕💕💕

    Mike tells Will “I love you.”

    Will tells Mike “I love you too.”

    Unfortunately, they are having two completely different conversations.

    Summary

    “So… not him, then,” Mike murmured to himself, thoughtful.

    He let his gaze drift back to the blond. The guy was looking towards Will again. Wait, no. He was staring at Mike and Will’s feet, tangled together beneath the table. The boy looked up, caught Mike’s eyes for a fleeting moment, then blinked and looked away, shoulders slumping slightly.

    Mike couldn’t help the little surge of smug satisfaction - and relief. He shoved it aside and turned back to Will.

    Will smiled across the table at him and squeezed Mike’s ankle again. 

    “No,” Will said softly. “Not him.”

    💕💕💕💕

    Post-Vecna. Mike Wheeler is determind to be a good friend. So he tries to help Will find a boyfriend.

    This goes terribly wrong when Mike realises he wants to be the boyfriend.

    Summary

    “Are you, like… are you trying to break up with me?”

    Will gapes at him. There is no possible way Mike just said that to him. Penciling in a mental note to get his hearing checked in the distant future, he continues to look at him, at the hurt shimmering in his pupils, the slight wobble of his upper lip as he turns away.

    Will has a boyfriend. Will doesn’t know he has a boyfriend. Chaos ensues.
