    Summary

    Max lost her best friend, El. After the dust had settled, she learned she lost her home too. Her mom had left her, leaving her all alone. Until Joyce and Hopper took her in, welcoming her into her home.

    Max may have lost El. But she found a new best friend in Will Byers. He understood her better than most. He didn’t judge her. More importantly, he was the only one close to her that she could gossip about cute guys with. Max needed that normality again. She needed to feel normal. So did Will.

    When Max learns that a certain jock is now showing an interest in her new best friend, she plots. Nothing is going to get in the way of her boy’s love life. Especially not Mike Wheeler, the same boy who had already rejected Will once before. At least, that was the plan.

    Summary

    His mind would even wander into the scenario of murder. 

     

    The thought made him bite his lip, before remembering he had a project to do. He wiped his face with his hands, and turned back to his project partner. 

     

    Some of the party has witnessed this too, but chose not to question it. Not even Will himself. He'd noticed Mike was a little more touchy than usual, defensive when the group teases Will, even had a soft, relaxed voice when it came to talking with Will that he wouldn't use with anyone else. Will thought that maybe, he's just making sure that he's okay after the events of him going missing and being possessed. 

     

    But he doesn’t think that was the reason why Mike was staring at him while kissing El at a school dance.

    Or: Mike Wheeler as Ghostface.

    Summary

    Mike inhaled sharply, chest rising like he was about to dive underwater.

    Then, barely above a whisper, the words scraped out of him like a buried secret coming to life.

    “I’m… gay.”

    The world didn’t explode.

    The ceiling didn’t collapse.

    Lightning didn’t strike.

    But something inside him shifted. Something felt changed, like a door that had been rusted shut finally opened a crack.

    --

    After his ten year secret relationship with Will Byers comes to an end, Mike Wheeler begins his own journey of self love.

    Summary

    Mike Wheeler does not have a crush on Will Byers.

    He does, however, become deeply invested in hating Will’s very annoying, stupid, dumb boyfriend Richie, who also happens to be his cousin and the worst thing to ever happen to Hawkins.

    Eddie Kaspbrak would like it on record that he is also not jealous—Richie just stopped paying attention to him, and that’s weird.

    Two accidental relationships, zero self-awareness, and a lot of jealousy later, everyone figures it out. Eventually.

    Summary

    “Yeah, no- I get it- I don't need anything… I- It just feels way too soon, you know?” He was stumbling all over himself to try and save the situation, backtracking a little too far that it hurts.

    “Mhm.” Will finds himself humming in agreement, too stunned to do anything else as he stares at the man – how his fingers twitch in the air before balling up into fists, his whole body turning to look at him again.

    He wonders if it would be the right thing to do, if it really is okay to move on with his life when he knows his sister would always be stuck in one place? It's dumb, stupid to think about, he knows that, but— Will always led his life with an infuriating strong empathy, even though he was not given an ounce of that for all that he had gone through. He couldn't help but think about her, Eleven- Jane, his sister. What she would say if she saw him.

    Or: Will and Mike after the epilogue, showcasing what really happened after everything; how they struggle with the feelings of guilt and shame that come with the memory of Eleven.

    Also, Will gets a boyfriend— nobody knows how to deal with it.

    Nobody being everything. Everything being Mike fucking Wheeler.
