    Summary

    “Wait,” Lucas takes another glance at Will, specifically at the sweater he’s wearing. “Is that Mike’s?”

    Here’s the other thing about the last eight or so months of Will Byers’ life: he’s been spending his nights, on and off, secretly, semi-occasionally, very frequently, kissing Mike Wheeler.

    He’s confused about it too, don’t even worry.

    Summary

    It's been months since the Byers moved in with the Wheelers. Months of Mike Wheeler trying to ignore strange, unsettling shift in his own heart whenever Will is near. Buried under layers of denial and unspoken fear, Mike clings to the familiar script of their friendship.

    But on a hushed winter night Will begins shattering the careful walls Mike has built and forcing him to confront a truth that could change everything between them.

    Summary

    Mike’s hand reaches for the doorknob and Will’s eyes grow wide in apprehension—he can’t go out looking like that. Not that he’s not cute. He just doesn’t look like Mike. At all.

    The brunette grabs his boyfriend’s wrist, pulling him back softly.

    Mike smiles, surprised when he finds himself in front of Will, “Hey, pretty.”

    His words get muffled by Will’s mouth in an instant.

    After half the summer of being a witness to this horrible haircut, Will has come to the conclusion that there is no other solution.

    Summary

    Hopefully they weren’t. Hopefully he could slip in quietly, make his way to the bathroom for a hot shower, and then crawl back onto the makeshift air mattress on Mike Wheeler’s floor, letting sleep take him somewhere else for a change.

    Unfortunately for Will, things never went quite the way he planned. He was so close—he’d managed to open and shut the front door without a sound, the only light in the house coming from the stairwell. He took it as his cue, stepping carefully up the stairs, around the corner, and—

    “Where have you been?”

    Right into Mike.

    ...

    or: will is spiraling, mike is panicking, and yes, making out with a jock somehow seemed like a good idea at the time.
