Summary
The universe was against him, he decided.
Normally, he would think that that was an exaggeration. He thought the people who said that kind of thing were self-centered and dramatic.
So now Mike guessed he was a self-centered asshole himself, but really it had been the worst couple of days in his life — and that was saying a lot.
Or Mike Wheeler is in love with Will Byers and he tries to repaired what he did... after almost a decade.

Summary
Mike has been preparing for tonight. Extensively. He has been preparing for weeks, months almost, with the sole goal of making the teachers’ Christmas party his occasion, the one he has been waiting for since September, when the handsomest man he’s ever seen decided to bless and curse Mike’s life by joining Hawkins High as the new art teacher.
Mike has an embarrassingly huge crush on the new cute art teacher; the Christmas party will surely be his time to shine and conquer him.

Summary
"Spinning on that dizzy edge," Mike starts moving side to side, "I kissed her face and I kissed her head. Dreamed of all the different ways I had to make her glow—"
"Mike—"
"Why are you so far away, she said?" Mike continues, half his words are spoken and not sung due to the laughter clinging to his tongue. "Why won't you ever know I'm in love with you? That I'm in love with you."
"Mike, Mike—" Will laughs loudly, only to realize his mistake and quiet down immediately. Mike almost wishes he didn't as he makes a deal with himself that he wants to make Will laugh like this for the rest of his life. "Mike!"
"I'm not stopping until you sing with me," Mike tells him. "You started this. These are the rules."
OR
Mike wakes up alone in the dorm and finds Will in the laundry room folding their clothes in the middle of the night

Summary
“Well, well, well, Byers, it seems you’ve finally remembered my existence.” She said, a smile could be heard in her voice.
“Your humble servant begs for your forgiveness.” He responded, as a laugh escaped Max’s lips.
“Oh my god! You’re still such a nerd!” She said, in between laughs. “So what’s up?”
“Nothing. Can’t I just want to talk to my bestest friend and trusted confidant Max Mayfield?”
“That’s bullshit. So?”
“Ok, fine.” Will sighed. “I got a call a couple of day ago.”
“Ah, I think I know what this is about. Mike’s daughters, I’m assuming.”
“Yes, which was really crazy, because I didn’t even know they existed.” He huffed, “You can imagine how I felt when I heard the name Jane Wheeler.”
“Well, yeah, it’s a pretty deadly combination.” She huffed.
or: !7 years after leaving Hwakings, Will gets a call that flips his world upside down. It could be his downfall, but it could also give him everything he's ever dreamed of and maybe a little bit more.
