Summary
“It’s not my fault that it took me so long to figure myself out,” Mike says thickly, no longer angry, instead just barely holding back tears as he repeats the sentiment that Debbie has spent so long trying to get him to believe. He’s not sure why this is the thing pushing him towards accepting it as truth, but he means it when he says it—means it, too, when he continues with, “It’s not my fault that it was hard for me to understand how I felt. It’s not my fault that I didn’t realize what it was until after you moved on. That’s not—that’s not my fault, Will.”

Summary
It's like Will's body moves before he can even process what he’s moving to, like his senses know when he’s near and pull him there before he can realize what he’s doing. His former well gripped want is bleeding though his fingers. He feels as if everyone can see it in the way he blinks, can smell the desire pooling out of his pores.
“—definitely overreacting, I mean, he’s as oblivious as they come!” Robin’s voice cuts through his thoughts.
“I don't know... I think even Steve could have picked up on what was going on in my head,” he squeezes his eyes shut at the onslaught of aftershock anxiety rushing back at the memory.
“I whimpered, Robin!” he pulls his hands to cover his face, to try to ground himself.
“You’re probably right... Steve could have picked up on what was going on,” she’s facing him on the couch, her knees leaning further to press up against his legs as she moves further into his space. “But Mike wouldn’t know sexual electricity if it was shooting from his own dick.”
OR: Will's been in love with Mike Wheeler since before he can remember, it was bound to slip out at some point.

Summary
"You were so cute. If the youngster wasn't there, I would've..."
Steve scoffed and chuckled lightly, tilting his head. They turned on the street where the Harrington house resided. "Would've what?"
For the first time in a while, Eddie found himself truthfully embarrassed to finish his sentence. His smile turned wry, almost sheepish. "Ah, I don't think... we're new, Stevie, and my comment was all kinds of fucked up--"
"Tell me, Eddie," Steve said as he parked the Beamer in his driveway.
Eddie swallowed. There was no distraction of the road to cover up what he was about to say and he rolled his eyes. "I... might've... I was kind of going to say something about making you a mother of three," he breathed hoarsely.
Steve went pink but was suddenly grinning from ear to ear. He was silent as he got out of the car and pivoted to open the back, letting the sun fall onto Eddie's features as he peered down at him. "Not six? I always pictured six."
After registering that response, without another thought, Eddie kissed him.
OR-
Eddie Munson survives the Upside Down and hides out at Steve Harrington's house to recover. Eddie completely changes Steve's life, sexuality and all.

Summary
“Tell me,” he says, softer. “What are you so afraid I’ll do?”
William’s breath stutters, chin dipping, then lifting, barely a movement, barely consent to anything at all. Michael notices, and for a moment he looks almost confused by it, by him, by the way William’s body answers even when his mouth won’t.
“Are you worried that I’ll kiss you?” Michael asks.
William looks away, but Michael follows the small dip of his chin, tracking the heat blooming up his neck.
“You are,” he says quietly, sounding like he’s finally understanding something that’s been in front of him for weeks. His gaze flicks to William’s mouth again, unmistakable, before he drags it back up. “And you’re worried I won’t.”
or what mike wants is so devastatingly simple and so impossibly out of reach: for will to choose him. for will to admit mike is the one he’s been waiting for
