    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

    Apparently Mike and El are trying to “reignite the spark” by having a weekly date night. El had lit up enthusing about it, had broken into her piggy bank to get a new dress for the occasion.
    Mike, for his part, hasn’t looked Will in the eye since the almost-thing had almost-happened.
    And Will. Well, Will keeps drawing Mike’s stupid hands.

    AKA, Mike takes El out for date nights and is a perfect gentleman, and afterwards, he sneaks into Will's room to do less-than-gentlemanly things.

    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

    There was a buzzing sound, and a beep, before the same words sounded again:

    “—all me back. I miss hearing your voice. I miss you.

    Another buzz, then again: “—still here… anyway, call me back. I miss hearing your voice. I miss you.”

    Joyce realised with a terrible lurch to her heart that Will hadn’t called Mike. He wasn’t finally speaking to him again—it was a cassette tape. A cassette tape of Mike’s voice, a recording from what must’ve been the end of a missed phone call, and he was replaying Mike’s last sentence over and over. I miss hearing your voice. I miss you.

    When Joyce first saw Mike at five years old—a sweet, caring little thing, jumping to Will’s aid without a second thought—she’d never thought it would end up like this.

    Or; Byler from Joyce’s perspective

    Summary

    "So, let me get this straight. You're telling me, that Mike brought in another girl last night?" Max grimaced.
    "Well, with them specifically sounding like dying dolphins which are also having sex, precisely, yes."
    "Why don't you do the same, then?"
    "What do you mean?"

    OR: Tired of Mike being avoidant and hooking up with girls in their apartment, Will finally decides to invite a man over for similar intentions.
