    Summary

    In November of 1991, Will and Mike’s lives have moved in two very different directions. They’re no longer talking, but Mike is going to set that right. He’s going to see Will in New York.

    Nothing can be prepare him for the version of Will he meets there, or how he makes him feel. Again.

    -

    The Pyramid Club was one of the most iconic underground nightlife spaces in New York’s East Village, and by the early 1990s it had become a key hub for queer culture. In this fic, Will Byers is a regular.

    Summary

    "Are you guys dating?" Dustin blurts out. Mike and Will's heads snap to him, shared panicked expressions on their faces.

    "Um, I—we, uh—"

    "Why—why do you think that?" Will chokes out.

    "Well, let's look at the evidence," Lucas holds up his hand and points to a finger when he says each Thing. "You kiss each other all the time, Will's been sitting on your lap every single time we hang out—"

    "Wh—I—It's not every time." Mike argues weakly.

    "We heard you call Will 'baby'," Will squeaks and avoids eye contact when Mike looks over at him. "And now you guys are going to sleep together. In the same bed. And you say it's normal."

    "You gotta see it from our perspective, dude." Dustin adds once Lucas puts his hand down. Mike opens and closes his mouth a few times, looking like a fucking fish out of water. He kinda feels like one, too. Beside him, Will isn't much better. His face is fully red now, and he's just standing there, mouth open, like he'd just been busted for a crime.

    Summary

    In which Mike follows Will to New York University for completely normal and emotionally healthy reasons, and then they try drinking together for the first time and Mike realizes pretty quickly that there were other latent feelings involved in his decision. Featuring truly Gen X levels of casual alcohol use, cranky hours at the Met, laundry in a haunted basement, a Psychedelic Furs concert, the gang reuniting for a party at Jonathan’s apartment, one scary incident reflecting the grittier realities of late 80s NYC, love confessions obviously, and rather a lot of hickeys. (And they were roommates!)
