Summary
Will takes a deep breath, glancing at the entrance to Castle Byers, then back at Mike again. “Don’t,” he repeats, softer this time. “Whatever you’re going to say… don’t say it… not if you’re only saying it because we’re about to die.”
He pauses here, swallowing the lump in his throat and looking away, unable to meet Mike’s eyes. “If you really mean it,” Will says quietly, “then… just wait. Wait until we’re out of here or… or at least until we know we’re safe. Okay?”
Or:
Will and Mike get trapped in a newly repaired Castle Byers together.

Summary
“Shut the fuck up.”, Will whispers because he can’t, he just can’t deal with Mike’s confusing ass right now. The soft light is illuminating Mike’s features, jaw carved out so perfectly, cheekbones high, eyes so dark Will feels like they’re swallowing him. “You are, too.”, he adds.
“Prettier than your lame boyfriend?”, Mike ask, voice somehow careful and urgent at the same time.
“Mike…” Will shivers a little, not sure what to do with himself. It’s ridiculous for Mike to actually believe Will has a boyfriend; if that were the case, he would’ve never stepped a foot into this bed. But somehow, Mike’s need to come out on top compared to the guy he is supposedly dating makes Will break out in goosebumps all over.
“That’s not a no.”, Mike remarks.
“That’s not a no.”, Will whispers, scared to move at all and break the moment.
A soft grin plays at the corner of Mike’s mouth, “Oh, yeah?”
“Yeah.”, Will nods, “But you knew that already.”

Summary
“I think we’re leaving soon!” comes Will’s response. He sounds closer now—like maybe he’s about to enter the room or something. “Did you find anything?”
Yes, Mike thinks, and his eyes flicker down to the old shoebox sitting in front of him.
LETTERS FROM MIKE, LETTERS FROM MIKE, LETTERS FROM MIKE, Will’s childhood handwriting screams back to him.
Or:
While in the Upside Down with the Party, Mike stumbles across an old box of letters to Will from... himself.

Summary
Mike braces himself. “And if I’m your Tammy, or whatever that means–” He breathes in. And he finally says it. “If Vecna knows that you have feelings for me, or had feelings for me, or whatever,” Each word is deliberate and Mike feels terrible about each one. This is so fucking hard, pressing on a bruise. “I need to know.” he finishes. “If that’s something he could use.”
Will is silent. Ashen. His words didn’t just land, it hit him. Straight and clean.
“Goddamnit, Will, I’m scared,” Mike says.
OR: Mike had to ask about this Tammy business because the target on his back is already too big. (And, bingo, he was right to ask.)Set directly after Will’s coming out scene in Stranger Things, Season 5, Chapter Seven: The Bridge; diverging from canon

Summary
Mike and Will have been circling each other for a while now in the confines of the Wheeler house, converging on an inevitable center point that neither is quite sure of. And that's just one of the things stressing Will out, besides physics homework and the apocalypse. His brother offers him a joint to relax. Mike wants to split it. Despite Will's better judgement, he agrees.
The circle gets a little smaller.
