    Summary

    “She’s grown on me. Robin. She seems good for you.”

    There is a slight edge to her voice that has Will quickly meeting her gaze. Her lips are quirked up at the corners, and her eyebrow is cocked knowingly. It takes Will a minute to process what she’s insinuating, because the idea seems so ridiculous. But when realization sets in, his eyes widen, and it takes everything in him not to burst into laughter.

    “Oh god, Mom, no,” he says, shaking his head frantically. “We’re not… No. Just no. It’s not like that. We’re just friends.”

    What if he just told her?

    Would it be the end of the world?

    No, the end of the world is already happening, and it has nothing to do with his sexuality.

     

    Or: After the battle in downtown Hawkins, the group recovers at the WSQK, where Will and Joyce have a heart-to-heart.

    Summary

    “It’s stupid,” Will admits. He can already see Mike frowning, ready to refute him, so he continues before he loses his nerve: “But I was thinking about how I can’t believe that I’ve been through everything I’ve been through, and I’ve still never even kissed someone.”

    Mike looks consummately surprised, his mouth a round O and his eyebrows halfway up his forehead. Will can hardly blame him, it’s not like they ever talk about this stuff — a boundary Will once set up very much on purpose. He’s ready for Mike to ask him what brought this on. Just as he’s mentally cataloging possible answers, Mike asks him an entirely different question.

    “Never?”

    Summary

    “Will, I love you very much,” Max starts, “but there’s no way your weird little coffee shop freak has a girlfriend.”

    “His name is Mike,” Will says, because he would know, because he’s the one that’s been writing Mike :) in sharpie on his to-go cups for the last six months, “and he doesn’t have a girlfriend. He has a wife.”

    Will’s favorite regular comes in with a girl. Clearly, they’re married.

    Summary

    “Okay come on guys drop it.”

    Perfect, angelic Mike. He knew he loved him for a reason. He’s the best. Will was correct when he decided his favorite in kindergarten. He looks so handsome today.

    “Obviously if we were gay I’d be everyone's type. Right Will?"

    Nevermind. He hates Mikes. He’s never loved him. All this time he's been wrong. And his hair looks stupid today. Jesus Christ, what is wrong with his friends?
