Summary
“I’m coming with you,” Will says immediately. “I’ll find a way. I won’t let you go alone.”
Mike’s expression hardens. For a split second, it looks like his breath gets stuck somewhere in his chest, his lungs refusing to move. His shoulders square, his posture going rigid beneath the armor as Will’s words sink in. But he isn’t angry, not really.
“No. You can’t.”
“You don’t get to decide that for me,” Will snaps, his grip tightening unconsciously at the edge of Mike’s armor.
“And you don’t get to make me weaker,” Mike fires back before he can stop himself.
or; Will panics the very moment Mike tells him that Vecna has returned; determined, Will wants to follow him into battle, only to discover that it is his bond with the paladin himself that prevents him from fighting at his side.

Summary
“Nah, man,” Lucas shakes his head, leaning back as he snacks on an apple, “he got, like, buff. Do you see his arms?”
Mike does, in fact, see Will’s arms. He has not stopped seeing his arms.
“She definitely sees his arms,” Dustin very unhelpfully points out, waggling his eyebrows, and Mike gets the overwhelming urge to bash his own head in.While volunteering at the Hawkins' help center, it seems like every girl around has a newfound interest in Will Byers, and Mike doesn't know why he feels the way he does.

Summary
Will Byers was raised to have the only correct opinions on music ever, actually, and he’s proud to show this off in the music review section of his university's queer student artists’ collective’s relatively popular zine, zine of the times. He actually really enjoys this position–that is, until the president of the zine informs him that he has to review his least favorite band on this earth: The Fellowship of the Ring.
At least his incredibly attractive neighbor in his U.S. history class is gonna go with him on the assignment, right?
Or: A music snob and the frontman of his most-hated local band walk into a bar for a date. It’s either the beginning of a really good joke or a really shitty love story.

Summary
“Aren’t you cold, Will?” Mike keeps going, studying his face. “You’re always cold.” He doesn’t even wait for an answer.
“Here, give me your hands,” he says quickly, already holding his own out toward Will. “I’ll warm them.” He looks at Will a second too intensely, like this matters far more than it should. Robin snorts quietly.
“Oh, thanks Mike,” Will says, flustered. “I’m okay, but maybe—” he fumbles with his coat pockets, distracted, searching for something, finally pulling out a pair of blue gloves. “You might need these. You can have mine.”
or; Mike is painfully obvious about his feelings for Will, yet he’s convinced no one has noticed; no one at all, except for Robin Buckley.

Summary
“How many times have I told you to stop making that weird nest on the floor?” he huffs, striding toward him in a few big, determined steps.
Their arms brush as he passes by, and Will has to stop himself from stumbling backward because every time Mike touches him lately, Will forgets how to be a normal human being. Safe distance, he repeats, but it’s useless.
“Come on, the bed’s big enough for both of us,” Mike insists, voice so gentle it nearly knocks Will straight to the ground.
or; Nancy and Jonathan want to sleep together on the basement couch, and Will is more or less forced to go sleep in Mike’s room.
