    Summary

    Once Mike and Will finally crossed that line with each other it turns out it was extremely hard to hide a relationship when all you wanted to do was hump each other’s brains out.

    Innocent shared looks across the table turned into a dangerous game of footsie under the table and sitting too close together on the couch became playing a game of chicken under a blanket while the rest of their friends tried to watch the VHS tape they had rented for the night.

    It soon became a dangerous game of ‘How quick can we have sex before someone almost barges in on us’

    Or: The 5 times Mike and Will almost got caught and the 1 time they did

    Summary

    Mike’s expression softens. “No but—seriously, Will. He’d be stupid not to like you.”

    He hopes the sincerity lands, because he means it. He just hates the thought of sharing Will with someone else. Hell, even Dustin and Lucas get on his nerves sometimes when they hog Will’s attention. Mike knows it’s a personal problem. He knows he should work on it. He just… hasn’t.
    -
    Mike and Will are best friends—like, best, best friends. And Mike cares about Will so much that he can’t help getting irrationally angry anytime Will pays attention to literally anyone who isn’t him- in a purely platonic way. Obviously.

    Summary

    Mike lets out a frustrated groan and knocks his head back against the seat—like Hopper’s the one being cryptic here.

    Mike’s voice cracks slightly when he repeats, “He hurt Will.” More urgent this time. More desperate.

    “Okay. I get that,” Hopper says slowly. “But it doesn’t explain why—”

    Mike cuts him off, sharp. “If Will didn’t tell you, then I’m not telling you.”

    -

    When Hopper gets a call about that damn Wheeler kid, he's pissed. Until he realizes what exactly he's dealing with.

    Summary

    "Will, no. Why would I hurt you? Your hurt…it’s mine, too.”

    Will looked up to meet Mike’s eyes. They were misty, a little afraid. “Because I’m hurting you.” Will choked out and he only realized then that he was crying. Let this be over. Let it have never happened. And then the words fell out of his mouth before he could stop them. “Like he hurt me.”

    OR

    Mike feels like there was something off in Will's "coming out".
