Summary
“I love you, my cleric.” Mike says. “I love you, William, please come home.”
It’s so soft it’s devastating. Mike sounds like the rest of his life. It’s delicate, how he says it, self-assured yet bursting open at the seams in vulnerability and that's when Will realizes it.
This isn’t his Mike.
His Mike would never say that. Not ever.OR
Paladin Michael and Cleric William are iskeaied to Hawkins (and are way better at relationships than Mike and Will)

Summary
In the end, it doesn’t matter. None of it fucking matters. Because what’s really in control is the tension. This elusive string tied between their chests that’s always changing length. Right now it’s so short and taught and strong that Will can’t imagine resisting it. So really, it was never a matter of if he would. Just when. When will he fold? When will he let go and let himself follow Mike into the water?
He dares to glance down at his knees, where he can see Mike’s fingers peeking out from behind his calves (as if he needed that visual reminder that they’re touching), and then back up to meet Mike’s expectant gaze.
He’s going to do it. He’s such a fucking idiot.
OR
Mike & Will have a long overdue conversation on the way back to Hawkins— by, in, and around a random motel pool.

As his biggest challenge, he decides to ask for the most far-fetched thing he can think of: a kiss from his straight best friend.
Mike isn't exactly helpful for this therapy.

Summary
“I’m coming with you,” Will says immediately. “I’ll find a way. I won’t let you go alone.”
Mike’s expression hardens. For a split second, it looks like his breath gets stuck somewhere in his chest, his lungs refusing to move. His shoulders square, his posture going rigid beneath the armor as Will’s words sink in. But he isn’t angry, not really.
“No. You can’t.”
“You don’t get to decide that for me,” Will snaps, his grip tightening unconsciously at the edge of Mike’s armor.
“And you don’t get to make me weaker,” Mike fires back before he can stop himself.
or; Will panics the very moment Mike tells him that Vecna has returned; determined, Will wants to follow him into battle, only to discover that it is his bond with the paladin himself that prevents him from fighting at his side.

Summary
“I just- I don’t understand why he has to come, is all.”
“Mike,” Lucas said over the phone. Exasperated. “They’ve been together for two years. Of course, he’s going to come.”
Mike took what felt like his hundredth breath during their short conversation. “Right. But like, I thought the idea was to keep it small. You know… only the people who know. To keep El safe.”
Or: 5 years after the epilogue, Lucas and Max are getting married and have invited the Party and company to stay at his grandfather's lake house the week leading up to it. Everything is great, except that Will is bringing his boyfriend.
