    Summary

    "What are you doing here?" Mike's face dropped as his eyes slid from El, past Max, and over to Will, "And what are you doing with them?"

    "Shopping," El said with a blank expression on her face as Max smirked and added, "This is their new look, what do you think?"

    "You know she's not allowed to be here. And Will, how could you just run off like that, we were worried!" Mike glared straight at Max despite the fact part of what he said was directed at Will.

    "What are they, your little pets? El can't leave the cabin, and god forbid Will strays more than three feet from your shadow, despite the fact you were completely ignoring him!" Max snapped right back.

     

    Or... A rewrite of Stranger Things starting at season 3 placing Will in El and Max's storyline, allowing Will to receive the support he needs to grow more confident in himself. Meanwhile, Mike considers what it might mean for him that he's more upset that his best friend ditched him to hang out with someone else, than he is about his girlfriend breaking up with him.

    Summary

    Will Byers had been lonely for a while now, feeling so out of place even when he was surrounded by all his friends - his party. There was a time when being around these people would have felt overwhelming, but in a good way. There was a time when being around Mike Wheeler, just being in the same room as him, would have been utter bliss and comfort.

    That felt like a lifetime ago now.

    –––

    “You can’t have him,” Mike hissed, his nails digging into Will’s skin as he clung even tighter. It was like Mike was trying to absorb him. “I won’t lose him again. Never. Again.”

    “We won’t take him from you. I promise. But you are hurting him Mike. You don’t want to hurt Will, do you Mike? You never want to hurt Will, you want to protect him.”

    Mike snarled at Nancy, “Never! I would never!”

    ———

    Or: Will is feeling lost and alone while with friends until he has a strange feeling that leads him to meeting a Mike Wheeler that isn’t his. A Mike Wheeler that may reciprocate all those deeply buried feelings that are drowning Will. In this new Mike, Will may finally find the happiness that he has been denying himself.

    Summary

    It may have taken Mike Wheeler a little while to figure it out, but there was no denying that he was pathetically in love with Will Byers

    Emphasis on "pathetically"

    When Will smiles, Mike smiles back; When Will speaks, Mike bursts into flames; When Will flexes, Mike melts into a puddle of goo

    Tired of watching Mike make a mess out of himself, the rest of the Party decide to help him out

    (If only they could tell if Will likes him back or not!)

    ~~~

    Or: the Party is oblivious, Mike is even more oblivious, and Will is engaging in a little bit of petty revenge

    (As in, Will knows that Mike's in love with him. He decided to see how long it'd take for Mike to realize Will loved him back)

    Summary

    Healthy Boundaries 101: when your previously closeted gay best friend comes out to you and confesses his unrequited love for you, you should:
    A) allow for the relationship to change and for feelings to resolve.
    B) understand that the way you’re acting is part of the reason your previously closeted gay best friend fell in love with you in the first place and change accordingly.
    C) throw caution to the wind and become one hundred times worse.

    Jesus Christ, Michael.

    Max turned to him as Mike passed and whatever she saw on his face, caused her to stick her hands out to the sides and mouth: “what the fuck just happened?”

    If only he knew.

    One thing was certain.

    He’d made a mistake in telling Mike he was going to move on.
