Summary
Mike plops onto the couch with the little amount of grace he possesses, which is none. His head falls against the armrest, lolling to the side as he stares out the window.
Will knows Mike is watching, waiting until Carlton is in his car, out of the driveway and down the street, before letting the hurt show. Before the pout settles in, before the look in his eyes gives him away. Mike has always been careful about these things.
or: Will Byers has a boyfriend. Mike Wheeler has never been good at letting go.

“Yeah,” Mike said lightly, though his voice was still rough around the edges. “Kissing. You know. There’s more to it than just… that.” He hesitated, then added, quieter, “Do you know what a hickey is?”
Yes.
"No. Is that something friends do?"
"Yeah... Can I show you?"

Or, Mike teaches Will some new things.

Summary
The first time it happens, Will classifies it as a little accident.
When he wakes, the morning sun is burning through the window onto their faces, and Mike’s cursing as he stands to close the curtains, stumbling all the way.
“Scoot over,” he grumbles, voice dry, and for a second Will can’t do anything other than sigh like a lovesick idiot. It’s a second too late for Mike, because he grumbles more words Will doesn’t catch under his breath and then physically pushes Will towards the wall to lay beside him, arm over Will’s middle. A second of silence passes, then Mike sighs, only to whine: “Fuck, my head hurts.”
Will can’t help it: he breaks down laughing, much to Mike’s offense.
---------------
Alternatively: five times Mike kissed Will, and one time Will kissed back.

Summary
“I bet your boyfriend's funny, huh?” he said, before he could stop himself. His eyes flicked back to the piece of jewellery on Will’s neck. “Nice necklace by the way.”
Will froze.
Mike wasn’t stupid. He knew it wasn’t just a necklace. It was a signal. A claim.
Six years after everything, Mike Wheeler has built a life of routine and avoidance, convincing himself that silence is the same as healing. Will Byers has done the opposite – he’s left, grown, and learned to love without apology.
When they meet again at Lucas and Max’s wedding, the truth Mike has spent years avoiding, finally demands to be faced – especially when he sees Will with someone else.
As he finds out, sometimes yearning doesn’t fade with time. It grows, until punches are thrown.

Summary
Will reaches for a red solo cup and peers inside. He shoves it under Mike’s nose and yells over the noise; “Do you think this is safe to drink?”
Mike shoots Will an exasperated look. “No, Will, I don’t think anything here is safe to drink.”
Will tilts his head to catch the end of Mike’s sentence, the shoulder of his shirt slipping slightly, revealing a strip of tan skin. Mike sucks in a sharp breath.
“You know what,” Mike reaches next to Will and grabs a cup for himself, tipping it back and swallowing a mouthful of something that burns his throat.
OR
Will drags Mike to a party, lets out his inner dancer, makes Mike jealous, and is still wearing that fucking necklace.
