Summary
"Am I doing it right?" Mike gasped, his voice cracking as he pushed his hips down hard. "Will? Does it feel... is it too much?"
"It’s perfect," Will choked out, his eyes squeezed shut, fingers digging into Mike’s shoulders. "God, Mike, just stay there. Don't move."
"I can't move," Mike groaned, dragging himself upward in a slow, punishing slide that made Will’s breath hitch.
or,
Mike is convinced he’s broken. After a string of disastrous dates and a girl walking out of his dorm mid-hookup because he’s "too much," he’s spiraling. He decides he needs to practice, and the only person he trusts is Will.
Will agrees to a month of no-strings experimentation just to be close to him, but the line between "practice" and reality disappears the second they’re behind a locked door. Mike isn't just learning how to move; he's learning that he never wanted those girls in the first place. -

Summary
Mike froze in place. Someone pumped into him, sending him a dirty look over their shoulder, but Mike couldn’t give less of a shit. He was too busy trying to remember how to breathe.
Then, Will’s eyes found him across the gate. And his face broke into a smile that was achingly familiar. And Mike was running.
He practically threw himself into Will’s arms, spinning them both with the momentum of it. It took a second for Will to catch up and start hugging him back. But eventually he did, steadying the both of them in place. Mike held on for too long, reacquainting himself to the presence of his best friend. Will pulled back first, reaching to pick up Mike’s duffle bag from where he’d abandoned it recklessly on the airport floor.
“Hi,” Mike said with a goofy grin.
“Hi,” Will said back, his face a little red.
--
Mike has finally started to accept what happened to El, and is ready to get his life back on track. Then he visits Will at NYU after months of not seeing each other, and is sent down another emotional spiral.

Summary
Argyle’s pizza van rattled along the road, the radio playing softly. Will noticed it before anyone said anything — the way Jonathan kept glancing at El in the rearview mirror, the way her jaw was clenched tight, her hands balled into fists in her lap.
El looked angry.
That was new. Especially after a call from Mike.
Before Will could ask what was wrong, she turned sharply toward him.
“He is not coming,” El said, her voice sharp with something between anger and hurt.
“W–what?” Will stammered. “You mean… Mike’s not coming here for spring break?”
El looked away, swallowing. “He has bad grades,” she said quietly. “His mom is very angry.”
“Oh.”
Or
Left alone in California during the events of season 4, Will and Eleven are forced to rely on each other as secrets surface, truths unravel, and love stories change.

i could be your lover (and you could be my heartache) by sunsetozier

Summary
Silence. Hungry, carnivorous—or maybe cavernous, vast and lined with teeth, ready to bite. The quiet before the storm, the gasped breath in before the heart stops. Tragedy tastes bitter. Blood tastes like pennies. Both are in the air, promises coating the tongue. Something bad is about to happen.
From beneath the bed, something reaches out—a mass of darkness, a shapeless nothing—and it grabs Mike by the wrist, yanks him forward. Mike chokes on a yelp and flails his arm free, blood dripping from where the shadows grabbed him, like the touch of darkness has split him open. He tries to scramble away, unfolds his legs to kick himself back but only makes himself easier, more vulnerable. The unidentifiable mass encircles Mike's ankle, and he screams something agonized, terrified—and then it pulls Mike, clawing at the carpet with his bloodied fingers, under the bed.
This time, the silence isn't hungry. It's satisfied.
will starts entering the mindscape in his dreams on the same night that mike gets taken by vecna. this is probably the least confusing part of everything that happens after.
