    Summary

    Her gaze dropped to Mike’s hand on Will’s wrist. “Don’t hurt Papa!” she begged desperately.

    For a split moment, Will didn’t understand, the thought so far-fetched, improbable, and ridiculous that it didn’t even cross his mind, but then the realization hit him like a bucket of cold water being dumped over his head.

    She thought Mike was going to hit him.

    Mike must’ve understood it at the same time, because his hand fell away, quick, like he’d been burned.
    .........

    or: When Will and Mike’s four-year-old daughter walks in on an argument, she mistakes raised voices and hands for something far worse - she thinks Mike is going to hurt Will.

    Summary

    Will just pressed a kiss to Mike’s forehead, and began gently pushing him back down.

    Mike felt his face heating up.

    “Will, what, what the fu-”

    “Shh, it’s okay, rest easy my Paladin, it was only a night-terror” Will whispered quietly, placing his hand to rest on Mike’s cheek.

    Mike sputters at the pet name “my Paladin, Will, what?”

    Summary

    “How’s school going?” Joyce asks.
    “Good. It’s…going good,” Mike replies. She nods and sips her hot chocolate.
    “Mrs. Byers.” She looks up at him and Mike feels his heart beat faster. “Why did you make three hot chocolates?”
    She takes her time to answer. “I don’t know,” she replies after a while. “It felt like the right thing to do today.”
    Today. Today’s weird, Mike thinks.
    “It’s March 22nd today.”
    “I know.”

    Summary

    "Tell me a secret?"

    Mike asks, like he's come to do every day, late at night, when the darkness can swallow the guilt and the regret rushing out of their hearts, when their sides press together, the floor long forgotten, ever since the first Will, please, come up here.

    Will is a terrible person.

    I'm in love with you. I'm having visions. I'm in love with you. I'm not really having nightmares, Vecna is tempting me with a version of you that loves me back. I'm in love with you.

    "I think my death is the easiest solution to everything. The Upside Down will die with me."

    Will can hear Mike swallow next to him.

    "Will, I would let the world burn down to ashes if it meant keeping you in it."

    or

    They're back in Hawkins, everything is the way it's always been, except - yeah, it's still the middle of an apocalypse, Will is having nosebleeds and Mike would sacrifice the world for his best friend but is still losing him.

    Summary

    “Your boyfriend?” she prompted, speaking quite slowly and carefully as though she was talking to a toddler, “You know, the fake boyfriend you use as an excuse every time someone asks you out?”

    Will blinked surprisedly, then cracked up laughing, “What?” he said, “Fake boyfriend?” he repeated, grinning, “You do realise — you know my boyfriend isn’t fake, right? I do have a boyfriend. For the past year and a half, actually.”

    Will Byers’ boyfriend is something of a myth amongst the residents of RISD. Nobody has met him, he supposedly helped to save Will’s life, and he goes to Brown. Seriously… who is this guy?

    Or; Byler from the perspective of Will’s college friends.
