Summary
The Byers are living at the Wheeler house, which is making it a lot more difficult for Will to push his feelings down for Mike. And when Mike notices he is feeling jealous over certain events, the proximity makes it a lot more difficult for him to push down his feelings for Will.
OR
Nightmares prevent Will from sleeping. Mike seemingly prevents nightmares.

Summary
Anonymous letters, a suspiciously knowing look, and a chocolate kiss. What the fuck is going on?
“Do you want a kiss?” He asks, voice sounding so casual that Will has to question if it’s forced.
He blinks. Then blinks again, registers the words, and flinches a step back. The heel of his shoe hits the locker behind him.
“I— Do I what?” Will sputters.
“Do you want a kiss?” He repeats, like that’s a normal thing to say to your best friend who is a boy.
Again, “What?”
Mike raises a closed fist up to Will’s face, so close that his eyes cross slightly to focus on it. Slowly, like he’s purposefully dragging this on, Mike unfurls his fingers. There, in the center of his palm, sits a small, silver-foil wrapped chocolate.What the hell.
; It’s Valentine’s Day. Will is going to shoot himself soon, seriously. It’d be easier than trying to understand why Michael Wheeler is acting like that.

Summary
He takes a deep breath.
“I want him the way I should have wanted Jane.”
Max is quiet, when he finally manages to look at her again. Her brows draw together slightly, pausing.
“But,” she whispers, in the space between them. “Will is a boy.”
Mike feels new tears well up behind his lids.
“Max.”
Something shifts in her expression, her mouth parting slightly.
“Oh.”
It’s quiet. Mike’s mouth pulls itself into a bitter smile. “Yeah, oh.”
or, it’s summer ‘90, and while everyone is off to college, Mike and Max scoop up ice cream in the rebuilt Starcourt Mall, reluctantly bonding over their shared hatred for children (and Mike’s little sister and idle friends) who just can’t seem to leave them alone.
or, 5 years later, it isn’t Robin and Steve working at Scoops Ahoy: it’s Max and Mike (who also get accidentally drugged. It's definitely not Steve's fault.)

Summary
“Why do you laugh?” Mike the Brave asked. The question was utterly sincere. He could not fathom the source of the mockery, of why Mike would be laughing at his display of fealty.
Mike spluttered, his face flushing. “I—It’s just… you only got him a book off the shelf? That’s your big ‘honour to serve’ moment? It’s just… a book.” He gestured vaguely, defensively, at the book, embarrassed.
Will the Wise’s lips curved into a smile tinged with sorrow. He looked from the flustered boy to his own beloved protector, his hand reaching up to stroke his Paladin’s cheek.
“He has crossed realms for me,” Will the Wise said, his melodic voice filling the cottage. “He has faced beasts and shadows and the silence of the abyss. He would do anything for me, and I for him. The grand quests are written in songs and psalms, sung by revellers around fires and bards in the inn. But the story of us… it is written in these small things. In a fetched book, a mended cloak, a tender kiss in the dawn light.” He looked directly at the younger Mike, his gaze piercingly kind. “We like to remind each other of our affections. In every possible way. There is no deed too small to be an act of love.”

Summary
The feeling of being wanted is a powerful drug. Being wanted by the one you want is incomparable.
"Mike," Will says lowly. "You’re— You’re so close."
Too close, his brain supplies, a little hysterical. Too much.
Mike doesn’t pull away. "I know."
"Why?"
"Keeping up…" Mike exhales a short laugh that Will feels on his neck, "appearances."
-
A guy hits on Will at a party, Mike leaves with a hickey, and by morning everybody thinks they're dating.
Will knows it’s supposed to be pretend. He just doesn’t know how to act like he hasn’t wanted this for as long as he can remember.
