    Summary

    In a desperate, last-ditch flail of an effort to salvage the situation, Mike grabbed Will’s arm.

    The silence veered from heavy to charged. All of Mike’s attention surged into his hand. He felt like the entirety of his consciousness was suddenly located in the place where his skin touched Will’s.

    What the fuck, thought Mike for the second time in ten minutes.

    Or,
    After first using his powers, Will falls unconscious—and stays that way. Refusing to leave Will's side, Mike reflects on the last year and a half while he waits for Will to wake up.

    Summary

    Will finally makes eye contact with him again, a smile playing on his lips. Mike’s eyes dart down to them for a split second, then back up. “Okay.”
    “Yeah?”
    “Yeah. I mean, whatever, right? We live together, for God’s sake, and we’ve known each other forever. Who cares if we have to hold hands for three days, too?”
    “Exactly,” Mike says too quickly. As stupid as Robin’s plan had sounded when she’d proposed it, now that things were falling into place he found himself eager to get it underway. Treat Will like royalty. Easy.

    ***

    Three whole days Will’s heart hasn’t known whether to swell or break or rupture like his appendix. But he’s being discharged tomorrow, so it won’t be an issue for much longer, so for now he just pretends that the hand on his arm wants to be there. Because Will Byers-Hopper has never been chosen on purpose, and until tomorrow, he can pretend that this arrangement didn’t come about under duress.

    OR:

    New York City, October, 1989. Things have been better since Will moved away from Hawkins and Mike followed him. Until Will's appendix bursts and, in the chaos of getting him to the hospital and finding a medical proxy, Mike accidentally tells the doctors he's his boyfriend.

    Summary

    Will needs a date to his mom's wedding. Mike volunteers.

     

    “I have an idea,” says Mike.

    Ice cubes form in Will’s stomach. “How dangerous is it? Like, should I call Dustin to talk you down, or should I call Nancy to be ready to drive us to the hospital?”

    “No,” says Mike, “you can’t tell anyone or it won’t work.”

    “Or what won’t work?” Will asks. It’s like picking up a rock you know a spider will be under.

    Mike gets up and closes Will’s door. Hopper doesn’t make them keep it open but sometimes Will does anyway, because every now and then lying around alone with Mike on his bed just makes his chest ache too much. If the door is open he can tell himself You can’t do anything right now, someone will see.

    Mike leans back against the door. His eyes are lit up with that special maniacal gleam that the Wheelers get right before they do something insane, like when Nancy says, “Then we have to go kill Vecna ourselves,” or whatever. “Take me to the wedding,” says Mike.

    “Yeah,” says Will slowly, “you’ll be at the wedding. Obviously.”

    As your date."
