    Summary

    “So, I’ve been thinking," Mike throws his head back into the sofa’s head rest. “You know how I talk about girls all the time?”

    The pencil in Will’s hand freezes for just a moment, something Mike wouldn’t have been able to tell at all if he wasn’t staring right at Will’s hands to avoid his gaze. “So?”

    “Well, I’ve been thinking, right?”

    Will looks up, but Mike isn’t looking back at him. He’s picking at a loose thread on the couch cushion. “What, about girls?”

    “No,” Mike shakes his head, “about boys."

    Will nearly chokes on his tongue. “You’ve been thinking about boys?”

    or, mike conducts an uncomfortably elaborate semester-long personal inquiry project on how to be a better straight ally to his gay best friend. for educational reasons only. obviously

    Summary

    “If I wouldn't like it. Don’t people say try it before you say you don’t like it?” Mike looks at him again; his eyebrows raised with a small grin on his face.

    “Um… Yeah, I guess. Where is this coming from?” Will asks, turning his body to fully face Mike. 

    He shrugs. 

    “Just been thinking about it.”

    “About kissing guys?” Will fires the question quickly, wanting to get to the bottom of this.

    “No.” 

    Will tilts his head.

    “Okay, then what were you thinking about?” Will laughs dryly, Mike pulling his lips into his mouth.

    “Well… about trying it, but not like… guys.” Mikes face starts to flush. 

    “Okay, then what? A specific guy?” Will laughs, letting one leg stretch over the couch cushions, his other still held to his chest.

    “You could say that.” Mike whispers, his eyes darting over Will’s face.

    Mike becomes extremely affectionate with Will out of nowhere aka domestic Mike and Will.

    Summary

    “Can’t sleep?”
    Will jolts up and the pen slips from his hands, and with a soft thud it lands next to him. Mike is sitting up on the bed and Will wonders how long he’s been sitting there because it looks like he’s been staring.
    “No,” Will simply replies and turns to find his pen again. “And you?”
    “Nope.”

    or

    When the Cali gang stops at a motel for the night, Will and Mike end up sharing more than just the bed.

    Summary

    But it wasn’t a monster that came out of the trees. It was a person. A boy.

    Mike froze.

    Then he was spotted, and the boy stopped in his tracks; with skillful movements, he quickly slung the rifle off his shoulder and pointed it at Mike’s chest. Mike raised his hands while trying to keep most of his weight on his left leg.

    “Whoa. Hey,” Mike said, his eyes wide as he stared at the tip of the rifle. “Just hold on. I’m not—I’m not going to hurt you.”

    Or: A crawl gone wrong left Mike stranded in the Upside Down. Hurt and alone, Mike stumbles upon someone everyone told him was dead.

    Will Byers was never found Au
