Summary
The thing is, Will hasn’t really had time to form an opinion about where he and Mike live because he’s been too distracted by the fact that he lives with Mike in the first place. After so many years of dating, hours of long-distance phone calls, miles and miles on highways and planes — they finally share a bed every single night. Will’s belongings finally have permanent residence in the drawers beside Mike’s.
The thing is, Will would go anywhere with Mike.
It’s 1993, and Will, Max, Mike, and Lucas go on a road-trip. Absolutely nothing goes wrong! (A story about friendship and growing up loved)

Summary
A warm, fuzzy feeling settles into Mike’s stomach. He’s vaguely aware of the fact that he’s smiling like a complete idiot now, but between the alcohol and Will being right here, he doesn’t care. “Sorry,” he apologizes. “You seemed busy with your friend.”
He doesn’t mean for that word to come out sounding petty and childish, but ah… it does. It definitely does.
And Will definitely notices.
Something shifts in his expression as curiosity breaks through Will’s drunken, bubbly nature, and he tilts his head, narrowing his eyes at Mike and staring at him for what feels like several long moments. “Wait a minute,” he says finally, incredulously, “are you – are you jealous?”
Or:
Two months after ending their relationship, Mike and Will reunite, thanks to the help of an astrology-obsessed little sister, El's Drunken Birthday Extravaganza, and a few bad ideas.

Summary
Now that Will’s sitting and Mike’s the one that’s standing, he looks impossibly tall. Tall and lanky, and huge. He should sit back down, Will thinks, lay back down next to Will and stay in their own secluded little bubble.
“I really want to kiss you,” Mike says, and Will’s eyes snap back up to his so violently he thinks he hears his own neck crack with the force of it.
“Don’t,” Will croaks, before his brain has even processed the words. “Don’t say that.”
“Okay,” Mike says easily, still staring. And what the actual fuck is going on? Is Will hallucinating? Is the weed making him hallucinate? “So sausage and pepperoni?”
Will stares dumbly at him. “Um - yeah. Yes.”
“Cool,” Mike replies and then just turns around and leaves Will sitting dumbly in his own room.
or
Mike and Will get high on Jonathan’s weed and Mike has an amazing idea.

Summary
Mike breathes out sharply, sinking to his knees in front of Will without conscious thought. Every bone in his body is turning to jelly, because Will is here, but he's also- not. His form is made up of the same dusty gold that fills the air around him, flaking off him and dancing around. Mike wants to reach out and catch the light in his palm. Will looks not entirely solid, like this is some poor imitation of him rendered in light particles, like his physical form is somewhere else, and for a horrible moment Mike thinks that Will is a ghost after all. That this is an illusion, brought about by Mike's hopeless yearning. If it weren't for the pebbles digging sharply into his legs as he knees on the ground and the crisp chill of the spring air on his face, Mike would be sure he was dreaming, but he doesn't think he could dream up something so simultaneously as magical and horrifying as the specter of his maybe-dead friend hovering before him.
"Will," he whispers, reaching out until his fingers are centimeters from Will's arm, and Will's eyes fly open.
on march 29th, 1986, will byers vanishes for a second time. 366 days later, he reappears.

Summary
"Is Will your boyfriend?" Holly asks, and Mike immediately chokes on the lettuce in his mouth.
"Wh- what?" he gasps, dropping his fork and swallowing back the salad that suddenly feels like cement in his throat. Holly's looking at him with a strange expression, like she's trying to figure something out.
"Will. Is he your boyfriend?" she repeats, even though Mike very obviously heard her, and the question doesn't feel any less shocking the second time.
"No!" He yelps. "No, why would you think that?"
Holly shrugs, taking another bite of spaghetti like this is a normal conversation and she is not slowly killing him. "Nancy calls him your little boyfriend sometimes, and Mom says he's your person, which basically means the same thing, and you live together and act like a couple and unpack groceries together, and- I don't know. Seems like it could be a thing."
holly visits college roommates mike and will, and has a few important questions for them

Summary
“We’re supposed to be a team.”
Mike’s hand falls from the door knob. Instinctively, he takes a step back, and he turns back around. The door closes gently behind him, and Mike stares at his boyfriend in surprise and in confusion. “What?”
“We’re supposed to be a team,” Will repeats, his voice trembling yet still a bit angry. His eyes are narrowed at Mike—defensive but still on guard, wounded but still ready to fight.
It’s familiar. Somehow, the two of them always end up like this.
Or:
A year after the Upside Down’s destruction, Will and Mike are in what their friends like to call their “honeymoon phase.” But when a new problem arises and puts strain on their relationship, the two of them must learn what it truly means to work together as a team and to love each other well.

Summary
Having lived in exile from the citadel since he was twelve, Will knows well the necessity of having a daily schedule: wake up early, gather materials, make tinctures and poultices for clients, take care of the garden, and never use magic when your hands will do just fine. These are the tasks he lives by until one ordinary day when he wakes up late, and it all spins out of control. He goes to the garden in the evening, far past his usual time, and finds an unwelcome visitor stealing his food and flowers. It only gets worse when he learns this man has been visiting every night for the past several months, unbeknownst to Will, and his eyes look just a little too familiar.
And once it becomes clear his unwelcome guest isn't going to stop his nightly visits anytime soon, Will is forced to choose between pretending as if they're strangers or divulging the peculiar past they share, between wearing a mask and allowing the truth to be told.

Summary
"So," Max says, twisting her braid around one hand and arching an eyebrow. "What is in it for you, then? I know I'm not the highest ranking princess you met with."
This is it. Nerves of steel. You've got this. Choke now and you jeopardize everything. "I like you," he says truthfully, and she squints at him disbelievingly. "You're- spunky, I suppose. I think I could trust you."
She frowns. "Trust me with what?"
Now or never. "Hypothetically," Will says, spreading his palms against his knees and trying his best to control his erratic heartrate, "How- open of a marriage would you be okay with?"
Being a prince isn't everything it's cracked up to be, but Will tries to make the most of it.

Summary
Today, though, is different, because today, Will is feeling incredibly grateful to have this job. All of a sudden he doesn't mind the sweeping and the dusting and the restocking shelves with books that, quite frankly, aren't to his own taste in any way whatsoever, aside from the tiny comic book section tucked away in the darkest part of the store. He's grateful for the silence and the boredom and the wasting his phone battery scrolling through the Instagram accounts of people he doesn't know or care about.
Because the thing is, if Will didn't have this job, he would have never had the opportunity to lay eyes on the very attractive guy that just walked in, and that, in and of itself, is enough to make him feel, vaguely, like his entire life is complete.

Summary
“Oh, come on,” Will says, struggling to keep his voice neutral in a different way. His mouth is dry, and he hates Mike for it even more. “Is this what it’s going to be like this summer?”
Mike looks back at him, considering, lips pursed in an effort to shut down the smirk that Will knows is fighting to break free. Will doesn’t dare to let his gaze catch there, focusing instead on holding Mike’s stare, because this, too, is a game.
Five years into a rivalry with bittersweet origins, the only thing Mike and Will want is to beat each other at this summer’s camp counselor competition. But being back at camp is dredging up old memories, and as Mike and Will lose momentum and gain something else entirely, it becomes increasingly clear that one summer can change everything.

Summary
"How could you use my own commitment issues against me like that?" The two keep dancing, Mike's hands resting on Will's waist and Will's arms placed over Mike's shoulders, staying close to keep up the act for his admirer.
"Maybe it's a sign you should actually work on them," Will chides. "You're gonna run out of people in the city if you keep going like this – I'm surprised you haven't propositioned me yet." Mike knows it's supposed to be a joke, but there's something in Will's voice that makes him think again.
When Mike doesn't respond, Will asks, "Why haven't you?" He wishes he could see the expression on Will's face right now. The question has always had a clear answer, but he doesn't know why it's making him pause now. He shakes himself out of it.
"I actually like having you in my life."
Mike realizes he's in love with Will. Will asks Mike to be the best man in his wedding. Chaos ensues.

Summary
"It's fine," Will reassures them with a dismissive hand as he pulls back, "We don't have to ignore the fact that it's, like, ten days into the semester, and I'm already visiting."
"Can we also not ignore how it looks like you've been crying?"
"Jesus Christ, Lucas," Mike's voice carries through the apartment from his room, bursting back into the living room after setting Will's bags down. "He's been here for, like, four minutes."
It’s 1993, and Will is having a hard time. Mike loves Will, according to Lucas.
