    or: Will has a cold, Mike has Feelings, and some things are just hard to move on from.

    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

    Later, as Mike stares at his ceiling, coloured only by the warmth of a nightlight and one forgotten glow-in-the-dark star, he speaks a reassurance. “We’re going to win, Will. For real, this time.”

    Will’s hands twitch where they rest on his pillow.

    Mike lolls his head to the side. “We’ve been preparing for this.”

    Will doesn’t look appeased. “I don’t know, Mike,” he breathes. “I really don’t know.”

    Mike tells himself that he knows, so Will doesn’t have to. They’re going to win.

    Deeper into the night, when Will wakes screaming, Mike hesitates for only a second before he cradles him tight to his chest. He doesn’t push when Will won’t speak of what he saw; he only whispers words of comfort, soft and sweet and completely unfounded.

    My ST5 rewrite, because it hurts to think about, and I want to overwrite my memory.

    Summary

    “He really does look like Mike,” Lucas breathes, as he gives Mike’s twin a scan, head to toe.

    “Yeah, if Mike were way hotter and a knight?” Max chips in, and Will can vaguely hear Mike muttering again. “He looks so medieval, like he’s from Camelot or some shit.”

    “I am Michael,” the knight begins to plead again. He turns his doe eyes back to Will, returning to his side like a diligent guard, even going as far as to reach out and take his hands. “Please, you have to believe me. I would never lie to you. Have I ever broken our oath? Let me prove it.”

    Will was a bit preoccupied with gazing into the knight’s eyes, his cheeks flushing under the intense stare and the way his hands were held so gently. Mike had no issues ruining their moment.

    “And he’s weirdly obsessed with Will.” Mike sounds even angrier than he did in the woods, and his sharp tone is enough for Will to snap out of his hand-holding to step a respectable distance away from the knight. “We need to send him back to wherever he came from.”

    or

    Mike the Brave ends up in Hawkins and sweeps Will off his feet. Mike has a lot of Feelings™ about it.

    Or

    One week by the ocean where Mike figures out he’s been in love with his best friend for years, and Will is trying very hard to not let old feelings resurface.
