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
“No, that’s not — “ He sighs, growing frustrated, though Mike can tell it’s not aimed at him directly. “I — I lied to you.”
Mike bristles, finally letting go of Will’s shoulder. “What?”
“El was right when she said I was painting for someone I liked. But this is the only painting. I didn’t make another one.”
“I don’t…I don’t understand.”
He finally meets his gaze, eyes desperate. “El didn’t commission the painting, Mike.”
Or: After finding out Mike is marked for death by Vecna, he and Will return to the Wheelers' house to retrieve Mike's Walkman. Instead, they find the aftermath of the demo attack on Mike's family, as well as a certain painting that leads to secrets being revealed.
Or: Part 2 of this series in Mike's POV. While I encourage you to read part 1 first, it's not necessary for this to make sense. They can both be read as standalone fics. :)
