    Summary

    It's 1992, and Mike and Will are juniors in college and living together in a tiny NYC apartment. Life is great. It's everything Mike could ever want: his best friend, an incredible city, and the world at his fingertips. The only problem? He's in love with said best friend and has no idea how he could ever tell him.

    Luckily for him, he's presented with an opportunity to get much closer to him every Friday night, as long as he promises not to get all weird after. How hard could that be?

    Or: Mike and Will become friends with benefits and the universe laughs because they're both ridiculously in love with each other.

    Summary

    "They were satellites in unstable orbit, trying desperately not to collide while being pulled toward each other anyway."

    Will Byers thought he'd buried his feelings for Mike Wheeler somewhere between Hawkins and Chicago. Then Mike walks into his life again, and eight years of distance collapse into nothing.

    What starts as a forbidden attraction becomes something neither of them can name - desperate encounters, painful misunderstandings, emotional manipulation, and Mike's inability to reconcile who he is.

    When Mike finally stops running, he might just be too late.

    Summary

    “Is it cause you used to have a crush on me?” Mike asked, abruptly.

    “What!” It was Will’s turn to blush harder, giving him a glare reserved for Mike Wheeler and Mike Wheeler only. “No. God. That was ages ago. I’ve been past that for a long time.”

    Mike motioned like he’d made his point. “See? So? It wouldn’t be weird.”

    So, Mike likes guys. Fine, Will can live with that. Except now Mike's worried about having fallen behind and would really like some help practicing how to kiss a guy from his also-into-guys best friend. And Will is trying really, really hard to be a good mentor to him, so what is he going to do, say no?
