Summary
“We need to get less mainstream. We need more rumors. We need controversy.”
“Okay,” Will says. “So what, you wanna share a microphone again?”
“No,” Mike says, shaking his head, expression deadly serious. “No, we need to escalate.”
Will swallows hard. “What do you mean?”
Mike shrugs, suddenly lowering his gaze, shifting his weight a little. “I think we should kiss.”
Mike and Will are in a band together and decide to make out on stage. To be controversial, of course. No other reason.

Summary
“Your boyfriend?” she prompted, speaking quite slowly and carefully as though she was talking to a toddler, “You know, the fake boyfriend you use as an excuse every time someone asks you out?”
Will blinked surprisedly, then cracked up laughing, “What?” he said, “Fake boyfriend?” he repeated, grinning, “You do realise — you know my boyfriend isn’t fake, right? I do have a boyfriend. For the past year and a half, actually.”
Will Byers’ boyfriend is something of a myth amongst the residents of RISD. Nobody has met him, he supposedly helped to save Will’s life, and he goes to Brown. Seriously… who is this guy?
Or; Byler from the perspective of Will’s college friends.

Summary
Will thinks this was what he’d been anticipating all night. Sure, he doesn’t feel an actual need to scent-mark, or to experience it… but he thinks he’d like to with Mike. And if Lucas’ smell was bothering Mike that much…
“Okay, fine. Let’s do it.” Will flicks up the sleeve of his shirt on his wrist and holds it up.
Mike’s expression wavers.
“Or, if you want to back out…” Will asks worriedly, letting his hand fall.
“No, I—I guess I just assumed. The neck’s the best place to do it, right?”
On the cusp of presentation, is Will really ready for the changes heading his way? Especially the uncertainty regarding his... friendship with Mike. Or was friendship even the right way to categorise them, anymore?
