Summary
Mike Wheeler can be a good boyfriend. He knows he can. All those hours watching those stupid cheesy romcom movies weren't for nothing, but when push comes to shove, he isn't good enough for Eleven as she spends each day stressed out of her mind about losing. About Vecna. They broke up, and while he isn't happy about it, he also isn't one to give up.
Then he gets the idea. To show Eleven how great of a boyfriend he is with no need to win her back right away.
If he just pretends to date someone else, then he could kill two birds with one stone. It couldn’t just be anyone though, not with the apocalypse and all the upside down shit they were dealing with.
That’s where Will came in.
—
Will Byers is a dreamer. A stupid, love-struck dreamer who can't find it in himself to keep denying a chance to keep the boy of his dreams closer than ever.
He’d never get Mike really, so if he wanted to cling to the closest thing he could get — pretending to date — then who could really blame him?
(Takes place in the eighteen months between season 4 and season 5)

Summary
Will was all out of excuses to keep avoiding Mike. He didn’t think he’d be strong enough to keep avoiding Mike either way - not with Mike calling him everyday- but this feels entirely too soon, the memories still fresh. Will feels that if he even thinks about Mike he could feel the phantom of Mike’s fingers digging into his hips, his lips pressing into Wills’ pulse, the thickness of his hair between Wills’ fingers.
The Wheeler’s front door opens on its own, and Will jumps from where he’s standing, letting out a small yelp in surprise.
or
Will can't avoid Mike forever, and they talk about what happened the day they got high together.

Summary
Now that Will’s sitting and Mike’s the one that’s standing, he looks impossibly tall. Tall and lanky, and huge. He should sit back down, Will thinks, lay back down next to Will and stay in their own secluded little bubble.
“I really want to kiss you,” Mike says, and Will’s eyes snap back up to his so violently he thinks he hears his own neck crack with the force of it.
“Don’t,” Will croaks, before his brain has even processed the words. “Don’t say that.”
“Okay,” Mike says easily, still staring. And what the actual fuck is going on? Is Will hallucinating? Is the weed making him hallucinate? “So sausage and pepperoni?”
Will stares dumbly at him. “Um - yeah. Yes.”
“Cool,” Mike replies and then just turns around and leaves Will sitting dumbly in his own room.
or
Mike and Will get high on Jonathan’s weed and Mike has an amazing idea.

Summary
The freckled boy turns the notepad around and lifts it for Will to see. On the page is a message and Will reads twice to confirm he’s not dreaming.
HI :)
Will furrows his brows but he can’t hide the smile teasing the corners of his lips. He blinks at the boy in front as he too lifts the corners of his mouth.
Will waves his free hand in which he holds his pen and mouths, “Hi.”
-or-
The Byers move to Lenora and Will finds himself amazed by his neighbour's captivating eyes. The same neighbour has a window facing Will's own bedroom and he communicates through notes like he's in some stupid romcom.
