Summary
A few years in the future, the party gather together in Mike’s basement for a movie night. But after the rest of the party fall asleep, Mike gets bored, and offers up a new idea. A game of chicken.
Will is in for more than he bargained for when he agreed, but he’d be lying if he said he wasn’t very hap-satisfied with how things ended.
Or: Mike and Will play chicken while the rest of the party are asleep and then they make out and fall in love about it

Summary
He takes a deep breath and looks around the table once again. His friends are looking at him, expecting him to give a long-winded speech on what he chooses for himself. The truth is, he does see himself writing, continuing their stories through books, writing happy endings. But, if he plans to fulfill his future, doesn’t that mean he should be happy too?
Mike is going to choose happiness, but that only happens if he starts being honest with himself. And that starts with Will.
It always started with Will.“Fuck this,” Mike says. He gets up from the table and looks over to Will. Will has his brows furrowed, looking around the table.
OR
Mike finally gets his shit together and tells Will how he feels in hopes of Will feeling the same.

Summary
Mike returns, hands patting at curls that were now carefully parted to the right and slicked down at the sides.
Will looks at him with his mouth agape in complete and utter horror, rubbing his eyes and doing a double-take because there’s no way this is real.
I need to fix this before the Party sees. They’ll never let him live this down.
And with that, Will approaches Mike, who's now sitting on the edge of his bed and tying his shoes. He steps between Mike’s open knees, holding the sides of his face to shift his gaze from his dirty sneakers and up into Will’s eyes.
(OR: Will Byers hates Mike Wheeler's new haircut. Every time Mike tries to style his hair, Will purposely finds a way to mess it up, often in...unorthodox...ways. But is Mike really as oblivious as Will thinks he is, or does Mike keep styling his hair this way for a reason?)
(OR: 5 times Will exploits Mike's hair pulling kink and messes up his greasy side part and 1 time Mike retaliates.)

Summary
Mike is waiting for Will in the basement, a look of suspicious, nervous excitement on his face. He cleared the table and laid out upon it are two card games.
"Now, I know you’ll resist," Mike blurts out, stepping toward him. "But I think this will be good. For both of us! For when we... you know,” Mike trails off, “When we get partners.”
Will scoffs, stepping closer to inspect the titles.
Spill or Sip and Truth, Dare, or Strip.
Or: Mike suggests a spicy card game to help Will loosen up before college. It works a little too well, and suddenly they’re gambling with unresolved feelings, and clothes, that were meant to stay in place.
