    Summary

    When Will’s heart is shattered by his ex, Mike hatches a scheme: fake dating. If Will can show he’s moved on, maybe Carlton will come back.

    It’s all just a game, an act.Just a little jealousy. Just a clever plan.

    At least, that’s what Mike keeps telling himself.

    But as they slip deeper into their roles as fake boyfriends, the lines blur. What starts as a simple act begins to feel all too real...

    Summary

    Was…was Mike’s heart reacting to Will?

    Mike isn’t looking at him. He’s staring hard at his cards as if he hasn’t seen them before, biting his inner cheek, and accentuating his dimple. As Will looks closer, he notices the pink shade spreading over the shell of Mike’s ear, the red emerging from the black curls like a rose sprouting from the earth.

    Was Mike still nervous around him? Hadn’t they resolved that?

    Will decides to test it. He leans onto the bed and rests a hand on Mike’s uninjured thigh, his thumb swiping side to side over the covers, and waits.

    Mike's leg twitches into his hand, and barely a moment passes before the beeps speed up again, a rapid climb from steady to sprinting, and when Will looks, the blush has spread to Mike’s cheeks, his eyes unmoving and glued to his cards.

    Oh. Will gapes at the monitor, the green spiking line. That's not discomfort.

    Oh. He can have some fun with this.

     

    Or: Mike, while protecting Will, gets attacked by a demogorgon. Guilt-ridden, Will stays with him in the hospital, forcing them to resolve the awkward air that has surrounded them for months, and, along the way, uncover some truths.

    Summary

    From a young age, Will Byers had decided that he was cursed. Before interdimensional creatures and monsters dressed up as men, before the revulsion and terror and the feeling of his mouth being forced open and invaded, before “it’s not my fault you don’t like girls!” and the bone deep knowledge of you are different, you are faulty, you are disgracefulbadwrongdisgusting–

    Before this, Will’s fears were confined to the Byers household. The cadence of his father’s footsteps as they walked past his door, weighed down and angry. The scattered beer bottles littered around the living room, warning him of the danger beyond the entryway. The quiet sobs from Mom in the middle of the night, when she thought no one could hear. The snarls and yelps from Jonathan as he took yet another beating meant for Will, and the tears that their father would call him a useless fucking pussy for.

    After the Upside Down, Will was certain he was right.

    Or,

    Will Byers, Mike Wheeler, and the not so mortifying ordeal of being known.

    Summary

    The chill of the November night is all-consuming now, freezing him to the bone, and Mike pants as branches smack him in the face in his urgency.

    “Shit, shit, shit, shit—” He gasps, running as bushes rustle behind him and then—

    That same guttural sound. A trill, rising and falling in the dark murkiness of the woods.

    OR

    On his way home from a friend's house, young Mike sees something terrifying.
