Summary

Fewer people know it started with Will Byers and Chance Lawson’s secret relationship.
Or,
Three times Chance and Will schemed to dismantle Hawkins High’s social hierarchy so they could spend more time together—and the one time the party caught on to Will’s newfound love.

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
I wrote this at like 3:00am based on a dream I had. So.
.Mike was touchy, it was just in his nature.
Maybe that's why, when Mike reached out, hands cupping his own, leaning in close, a murmur of “I miss you, Will. I miss us,” all Will did was squeeze back, the way he always had.
It started off the same as always, something unintentional that Will could brush off, accident touches that slowly grew into something friendly, platonic, normal. The occasional nudge of an elbow to his side, a long look and a hand reaching out to grip his shoulder. Simple. Friendly.
But now?
Now Mike couldn't seem to be able to keep his hands off of him.
It was driving Will crazy.

Summary
Joyce and Hopper bought a new house together about a block from The Wheeler’s much to Will and Mike’s excitement. Since everything had gone down earlier the two were attached at the hip, so much so that both Karen and Joyce had commented on how it reminded them of when they had been little boys.
They were always together now, but it seemed almost everyone else was too wrapped up in their own lives to notice any difference, which is why Nancy Wheeler was so surprised when she walked into the basement to do laundry only to find Will and Mike on the couch trying to devour each other's faces.
“Holy crap!” Nancy yelled as she dropped the basket of dirty clothes at her feet before immediately turning around and she was about to run back up the stairs until she heard Mike call out her name.
“Nancy, wait!” Mike said after he separated himself from a blushing Will, who was staying silent, hoping if he didn’t make a noise or move he could suddenly become invisible.
