    Summary

    Dustin looks between them. “I’m sorry, how did you find out about this?”

    “Oh, wait till you hear about the bucket list game they’ve got going on,” Max tells Dustin, with zero subtlety and no intent of it anyway. Will glares at her. “They’re even one-upping each other now.”

    Just 39,000 words of Mike and Will going on dates that they're not calling dates, falling more and more in love, and learning about themselves and their gay journey in 1989 New York City.

    Summary

    “Your boyfriend?” she prompted, speaking quite slowly and carefully as though she was talking to a toddler, “You know, the fake boyfriend you use as an excuse every time someone asks you out?”

    Will blinked surprisedly, then cracked up laughing, “What?” he said, “Fake boyfriend?” he repeated, grinning, “You do realise — you know my boyfriend isn’t fake, right? I do have a boyfriend. For the past year and a half, actually.”

    Will Byers’ boyfriend is something of a myth amongst the residents of RISD. Nobody has met him, he supposedly helped to save Will’s life, and he goes to Brown. Seriously… who is this guy?

    Or; Byler from the perspective of Will’s college friends.

    Summary

    Mike has many plans for the summer before college, most of them involving Will, a forever expanding definition of quality time, and what he optimistically calls reaching new heights of manhood.

    Summary

    Mike pulls him toward his chest and this time, Will lets himself be held again.

    “You’re okay.”

    Will closes his eyes, the comfort of his best friend overtaking him in rapid succession, he feels himself drifting off, Mike’s words of reassurance gently whisking him off to sleep.

    “I’ve got you,” he hears, almost unconscious when the faint words barely register-

    “I’ve got you, baby.”

    Or,

    Mike has started calling Will ‘baby’ and it’s driving him crazy.
