Summary
"I live in your house, Mike," he said, crossing his arms defensively. "I thought you'd already have enough of me."
"I don't." Will jumped at Mike's voice, head whipping back around to face him. "Come on, Will! You talk to Holly more than you do me. You're always doing those— those ugly craft projects with her, and I didn't even know you liked crafts, and I didn't know you liked Holly more than me, either. I don't know anything about you."
Will blinked at him, mouth agape. "They're not ugly," he said, weakly.
"They are." Mike glared at Will harder. "See? I didn't know you lied now, either."
The Byers spend their first year with the Wheelers. Will learns how to handle Mike, and Mike learns how to handle change.

"I want to find Bigfoot," Nancy said.
"I thought you didn't believe in Bigfoot?" Robin asked.
"I'm trying to become more open-minded," Nancy said.
Robin raised her eyebrows.
"I'm bored," Nancy admitted.
"There it is," Robin drawled, a smile taking over her face. "So when do we leave?"

Summary
Will blinks again. Their noses bump. Mike is so close. “I, um. What?” he hisses out, voice hoarse. It can’t be- there’s no way Mike means-
Mike looks mortified, but he’s also not moving away. “Do you think there's a universe,” he repeats, slow and shaky, “where you and I are- you know.”
“Mike,” Will says, verging on exasperated, but too shaky to fully accomplish the tone he’s going for. He can feel Mike’s heart racing where it’s pressed against his own. “Use your words.”
“I want to kiss you,” Mike blurts, dazed and harried. A strand of hair falls into his eyes, and it tickles Will’s cheek with their proximity.

Summary
Was Tom just making a fool of him, this entire time? Was anything genuine?
Some of it had to be, right? What explanation is there, otherwise? Because at the end of the day, Tom took Greg out to show him the ropes, ordering him everything on the menu, taking him clubbing afterward and drinking gold-flecked wine, taking him home and making sandwiches with him, inviting him to a diner in the middle of the night and taking the fall for him when prison reared its ugly head, running into Greg’s room to tenderly kiss his forehead when the threat ended, calling him Sporus and saying he’d marry him in a heartbeat, winking on the way out the door, giving him looks like he’s something special and worth keeping around… surely, that can’t all be manufactured.
Greg knows Tom lies to him. They lie to each other. Maybe Tom’s just a better actor, from doing this for so many years.

Summary
Robin hoped she looked as cool as she hoped she sounded. Cool as a cucumber. She hoped she hadn't said that out loud. It wasn't really actionable advice.
She felt kind of cool, her inner and outer monologues notwithstanding. It was cool, to be the person strolling the fairgrounds of the Hawkins Halloween Spooktacular Fall Fair with Nancy Wheeler. And the weather was cool and crisp, and the sky was clear and dark, and Nancy's nose was a little pink, and Robin wanted to kiss it.

Summary
Nancy heard a rustling from down in the hole, a panicked animal kind of movement. She stopped in her tracks, kept her gun up steady.
The noise stopped as suddenly as it started. There was a pause. All Nancy heard was her own deep breathing, the gentle wind, and some scattered birdsong that told her this thing probably wasn't a predator, whatever it was. And then the quiet broke.
"Stay back!" A woman's voice, raspy and dry. Nancy was thirsty at the sound of it. "I'm armed! You don't want to mess with me, I'm- Shit."
"I'm armed too," Nancy said, her voice calmer now, modulated, despite the pounding of her heart in her throat. "And you're stuck in a hole. I can leave you to it if you want, or I can throw a grenade down there to keep you company. Or you can put your hands up and maybe we can talk like civilized people. Your choice."

Summary
“Is that your mark?”
“Oh, yeah,” Tom says, flushing some and peeking down at the veritable smudge on his arm. It’s not exactly his best feature – other people have little charming stripes or an animal, lines from a poem, and he’s got… none of that. Hell, Shiv herself has that cute blade at her ankle.
Shiv stares for longer than is strictly comfortable.
“It’s not really any sort of shape,” Tom laughs, a little awkward, thinking she might be trying to figure it out. “It’s a Rorschach, I guess. Or, well... that’s what one doctor said.”
Shiv raises a brow and touches just lightly around it. “Like the ink blots?”
“Yeah, just like,” Tom says, then he turns his arm a little to look at the inside of his bicep, tapping at the mark in some urge to cover it up – to make her stop looking at it. “Whoever my soulmate is, they’re a little different depending on who’s looking at them.”

Except he wasn’t truly alone in the garden.
Will tore his eyes from the paper and looked over at the frog: it had not moved an inch, all the while Will had filled the page and got lost in his thoughts, found his way out and got lost anew.
The frog blinked slowly at him. Will lowered his sketchbook. It was definitely staring.
or; Mike gets cursed a little too often.

Summary
“So,” Mom says one weekend afternoon as she and Robin stare down the Sunday Times crossword, huddled together on the porch swing, “you and Steve Harrington sure have been living in each other’s pockets lately.” She puts down the pen and gives Robin a carefully-probing smile disguised as a teasing one. “Anything you wanna tell me?”
Yeah; I’m gay, Robin thinks. Her throat constricts painfully. “I—you’d know if I were dating someone,” she says instead.

Dying (And Other Perks Of Loving Too Much) by ProudBisaster505
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)
10 Apr 2023
Tags
Summary
"Will- are you okay?"
Though he'd expected such a question, considering the puppy eyes Mike had been looking at him with since he'd asked the same question back in the van, Will wasn't prepared to hear Mike worrying about him again.
Definitely not while standing that close to him, with his hand on his wrist and his lips so tentatively near.
Will cleared his throat, torn between seeming fine in front of him (because he was, he was fine), and not doing anything stupid with having Mike so close.
"Yes- Yeah, I'm fine."
Or, the Cali crew spends the night at a hotel, Will insists that he's definitely fine, and it's revealed that he is not after he has a nightmare.

Summary
Mike shrugs, looking mildly uncomfortable. "Didn't seem important," he says, and Will's annoyance comes back in full force.
"Didn't seem- okay, well did you tell her that we weren't together?" he demands, fingers tightening around Mike's sleeve again.
"Yes!" Mike squawks, wrenching his arm out of Will's grip. He looks- not angry, per se, but definitely a little annoyed now. Confused at Will's reaction, maybe, and- yeah, Will knows he's being overdramatic, but Mike is being entirely too underdramatic about all this, and he thinks they should at least try to meet in the middle. "But I don't know what my parents think. And by the way, I'm not loving how offended you are by people thinking you're dating me."
Will pauses. "Hang on, that's not what I'm saying." He's thrilled by the concept, actually, but he knows he shouldn't be and Mike can't know that, can't know how bad he wants this, which is why Will's had to take a different route.

Summary
And despite telling Eddie he would, he doesn’t go home—at least not at first. He isn't sure what wills him to do it, but his bike takes him in the other direction, past the Barrens and to the street, right to the Kissing Bridge in all its vandalized glory. Slurs and poorly carved hearts and names he doesn’t recognize stare back at him as he digs into his jeans and pulls out his dad’s old pocketknife.
