    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.

    Summary

    The Upside Down isn't the only alternate universe the party has to worry about it seems. When something inexplainable happens during a game of D&D, Will is replaced by... Will? Will the Wise appears before everyone, confused on why his friends are wearing such strange garbs and what dungeon he has stumbled into. Meanwhile, Will finds himself surrounded by fantastical versions of his friends clad in armor and robes somewhere far, far from Hawkins. The party now has a new mission to figure out how to get their Wills switched back around, and Mike needs to figure out what this feeling in his chest is all about.

    Or

    If Will had a nickel every time he was transported into an alternate reality that had some similarities to his normal reality, he'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but its weird that it happened twice, right?

    Summary

    It starts with a Hellfire shirt. Mike doesn't know if it's cursed or blessed because wearing it always makes Will act strangely. Then, it's spiraling into a hope Mike didn't know he could have. Will has never been closer, but Mike still isn't sure he can have what he wants. Or can he?

    -

    “You’ll let me do your hair?”

    Mike knows this is a bad idea. Knows he’ll be red the whole time and stutter and give himself away, but this is Will. Will with his hands in his hair, so close Mike can stare all he wants. Fantasize about what a kiss might be like. Hidden away in the safety of what should’ve been their bedroom. Maybe he can use today to convince Will it can be.

    “Only if you make me look good.”

    Will stands with a sweet smile. “Easiest job in the world then.” And then he disappears into the hallway before Mike can even start to stumble in front of him.

    What?

    What does that mean?

    Summary

    Mike pushes into his hands, but Will keeps him still.

    "Ask again," he says. Because he's greedy, and he wants Mike to want him.

    He stares at Will's mouth. "Please."

    "Again."

    El is gone.

    Will tries to figure out how to move on in New York, and Mike follows him. Their apartment is haunted not by ghosts, but by the two of them.

    Or: Catastrophically traumatized boys cling to each other and accidentally figure out how to be close—too close—while moving through their grief.

    Summary

    With the Byers temporarily living under the Wheelers' roof, Mike and Will are forced into a proximity they’ve been desperately trying to avoid, after both getting sick. Between shared blankets and hazy fever dreams, the lines they’ve drawn between friendship and something more begin to blur, forcing them to confront a reality neither is ready to name.

    Or

    Mike and Will are in love with each other, but they're too scared to admit it, so it takes a delirious fever for them to finally stop lying to themselves, with childood memories and an angry confession in the rain.

    "He realized, with a terrifying clarity, that he would trade every bit of safety and normalcy for just one more second of Mike Wheeler looking at him like he was the only thing that mattered in the world."

    Summary

    "There has gotta be a better way to do this. That was awful," Mike said, turning to Will, voice hoarse and deeper than usual. Will continued rubbing Mike's back as he thought about Mike's words.

    Will did know of a better way, but he was certain they shouldn't do it.

    "Will?" Mike began, eyes flitting between Will's, causing Will's eyes to snap to his. "What? Is there actually a better way?"

    Will hesitated at the inquiry. "Yeah- Yeah, sorry, but we can't do it."

    "Why not?" Mike asked, looking confused, keeping his eyes locked onto Will's.

    Will averted his eyes. "It might be too weird. It's kinda… intimate?" Will said, making it sound almost like a question.

    Mike nodded thoughtfully, thinking about it for a moment before saying, "We can do it anyway, if you want. I don't mind. I trust you, Will."

    Mike Wheeler and Will Byers get high together, but things go a little south.

    Summary

    “I hate the way you fix your hair.” Will criticizes as he works on situating the strands in the way he apparently likes.

    “Really?” Mike asks, swallowing thickly as he tries not to focus on the touch, and Will nods with eyebrows upturned.

    “It makes you look like your dad. That isn’t my Mike.” Will whispers with wide eyes, tapping vigorously on the left side of his own chest to emphasize his point. Mike’s heart pounds. He debates his response, debates admitting that he will always be Will’s Mike because he is always going to be Will’s, but instead, he averts his eyes and backs away, Carlton’s face haunting his mind.

    or

    Will cheats on Carlton with Mike.

    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

    “When I saw you… there. From the Demo’s perspective. You were gonna –” Will’s voice breaks, and Mike’s fingers twitch where they rest on the fabric of Will’s jeans. There’s no conscious thought process, but he gently rubs back and forth. “I thought of you,” Will whispers, breath catching slightly.

    “Of us. When… um, when we first met, and you asked me to be your friend. I thought of that and… you know. It happened."

    Mike’s eyebrows lift. Me. I did it. “Oh.”

    Will glances and seems to realise all at once how much he just revealed.

    Summary

    Max arches a brow. “Carlton, though? You two are dating and you don’t even kiss? Is it just a preference thing?”

    Will sighs, resigned. He drops his hands. “Okay. Honestly?” He hesitates, then shrugs. “He was a bad kisser. And I just… couldn’t get excited around him. At all.”

    The reaction is immediate and merciless. Dustin makes a dramatic gagging noise. El gasps like she’s been handed gossip gold. Lucas high-fives Max, shaking her hand in his.

    Mike doesn’t say anything. He just watches Will, watches the way he shrugs it off, the way he laughs a little too loud, the way his ears go red.

     

    Or, Will's new boyfriend is a bad kisser. Mike thinks it's a crime that no one has kissed Will properly. He's on a goal to change that, Carlton be damned.

    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’ll leave you be until lunch,” Max starts negotiating, nodding at him as if that’s a good deal. Which—considering it's Max, it is, but Mike doesn’t want to give in just yet. She sighs. “I won’t laugh about the sweater anymore. Or the weak disposition that gives you stupid allergies all the time.”

    Mike’s frown deepens, but she wasn’t as mean as she could have been, so he’s gonna take it. He needs to get this out anyways, or he’s going to keep running in circles as if stuck in a hamster wheeler—an accurate representation of his brain when it comes to Will, really. He presses his lips together and tries to figure out a subtle, non-funny way to say it, but he comes up blank.

    Fuck, whatever: “I almost kissed Will. Again.”

    Max actually has to cover her mouth with her hand, disguising a worryingly loud snort with a cough. The teacher turns their way and stares, then goes back to explaining the exercise on the board. Mike scribbles it down while Max gets herself under control.

    Screw his life.

    Summary

    Will touched his cheek in concern. “You okay, Mike?”

    Mike managed a jerky nod. “Yeah, fine. You’re just…” He broke off to clear his throat and finally lifted his hands to place them on the small of Will’s back. His skin was smooth and warm. Mike’s thumb moved with the dip in his spine, tracing along the curve. “You know.” Hot and on top of me.

    Will smiled, pleased at that. “I do know,” he said loftily, and Mike got the sense he really did, and frequently used it against him to get his way. “But I like it when you tell me.”

    Mike wakes ten years in the future, a successful novelist and in a committed relationship with Will.

    “I think about you all the time, you know? What you’re doing in the city, who you’re with. Kind of makes me crazy. All the guys you bring home to your mom are assholes, by the way. Hop says so.”

    Will let out a teary laugh at that, turning his hand to curl his fingers around Mike’s. “I guess I have a type.” Then, quieter, “You really think about me?”

    Mike swallowed roughly, and then confessed in a croak, “Yeah, I do. I think about how much I miss you, and–I think about all the things I want to do with you.” All the things I want to do to you.

    “Oh,” Will breathed.

    Mike and Will get stuck in the wine cellar at the Lumax wedding.

    Summary

    Does Carlton gel his hair? Mike wanted to ask. Do you run your fingers through it when you kiss him? Do you pull on it when you–

    What came out was: “No, it’s okay. I trust your opinion with stuff like that.”

    That seemed to be the right thing to say because Will blushed hot and ducked his head slightly, giving him the same frantic, flustered look he’d become used to before Will went to college and got a boyfriend and became so unbearably pretty it kind of choked the life out of Mike to be alone with him.

    Will won't shut up about his new boyfriend. Mike is totally Normal about it.

    Summary

    At first, Mike was unsure how to approach him when he got like this. But they’ve been living together for months now, never further than five feet apart in their dorm beds, so Mike’s learned what works and what doesn’t.

    It works when he wakes Will like this, with gentle hands and words, telling him he’s safe. It works when he climbs into Will’s warm bed, turning him on his side and curling up against his back, an arm over his waist and his cheek pressed against his shoulder. They lie together like that until Will’s hiccupping gasps soften into steady breaths, until Mike feels him go limp in his arms and he knows he’s fallen back asleep. It always works.

    or: Will has nightmares and Mike is the only one who can console him. Not even Will's boyfriend can. Mike takes great pride in this fact.

    Summary

    Will starts a habit of sleeping in Mike's room.

    Without a word, Mike reaches out and lightly grabs Will's jaw. He tilts his head up, down, side to side, studying every angle. There's no way he can't feel Will's pulse beating fast and hard against his hand, but either way, he doesn't comment on it.

    "Hmm", sneaks out of Mike's mouth.

    "Hmm?", Will can only parrot back.

    Now he studies Will's eyes, trying to commit their shape and hue to memory - trying to erase memories of Will's possessed dark, clouded eyes. His Will, but not.

    Will softens in his grasp and opens himself to Mike's gaze, no longer trying to steel himself from the moment, hide himself away. Just present, just here.

    And something in Mike softens, too.

    "There you are," Mike whispers.

    This is hungry work.
