Summary
Hollanov play Never Have I Ever otw to The Cottage, Shane gets an idea 😈
He decided on the perfect game that they could play to get to know each other better. He wants to know everything there is to know about Ilya. Things he's never told anyone else. Shane is starving for pieces of Ilya, but he plays the nonchalant role he's spent many years mastering.
“Yeah. Do you know the game Never Have I Ever?”
Ilya lets out a groan. “Yes. Is stupid game. Whoever has most boring life wins. Congratulations!” He uses his free hand to pat the back of Shane's. “You probably win every time.”
“Fuck off.” Shane pouts. “I bet I've done a lot of things you haven't.”
“Mm, yes. True. Never have I ever come second in draft pick.”
"Asshole.” Shane pretends to retract his hand away but Ilya pulls it back to him. “It was just an idea, we don't have to play.”
Ilya squeezes his hand. “No. I wanna play.”

Summary
Kiss the prettiest person in the room.
So Mike did. Or he tried.
It’s the alcohol’s fault. It’s Lucas’s fault for wording it that way. It’s El’s fault for not taking him by the hand and steering him in the correct direction. It’s Max’s fault for kissing El in a dare earlier and making Mike forget that shit like this isn’t normal. Maybe it’s different for girls for some reason? Mike can’t really keep up with the rules right now. He’s been following them his whole life and now one stupid drunken mistake is going to topple everything.
It’s Will’s fault for being so mindnumbingly beautiful.
or, that one scene from The Perks of Being a Wallflower but make it Byler

Summary
The last time Will saw this drawing it was crumpled and ripped in half, thrown on the ground at Castle Byers before he took a baseball bat to the place. It should be covered in dirt, swept away by the wind or damaged by the rain, but it’s here in Mike’s sock drawer. It’s been carefully taped together, but the rip is still visible. Some of the colors bled through, blotched by rain or tears. When he lifts the drawing to inspect it further, Will finds that beneath it is a photo which has also been taped together. It’s from Halloween 1984.
“Hey Will, I was think–” Mike’s voice cuts off when he reaches the open doorway. His gaze is on Will’s hands before he looks up and their eyes lock.

Summary
It’s weird seeing Castle Byers like this: half-standing, split open, abandoned. Will never told Mike what happened, but he knows. It’s his fault. This is physical proof of how Mike Wheeler destroys everything.
or, Mike misses his best friend and finds something in the ruins of Castle Byers which brings up repressed feelings

Summary
For their senior year spring break, the Party sets sail on a 7-day cruise to celebrate the next chapter of their lives. Not much has changed since their last reunion, as long as you don’t count Mike and Will breaking up two years ago, which fractured the friend group permanently and made it so neither of them could stand to be within ten feet of each other.
It’ll be a trip they never forget - that much Will is sure of.

Summary
The 90s are good– the Cold War is coming to an end, the entire Party lives together in their very own duplex, Nirvana just came out with their debut album, and Max is giving people unlicensed tattoos.
There are a few undeniable facts: Mike and Will are probably working the closing shift this weekend. The things you don't expect to bite you in the ass always do, without mercy. The entire party, as they know it, is officially coupling up. Mike (wants to) know damn near everything about Will Byers down to his underwear. Mike is trying his fucking hardest to never hurt Will Byers again.
There are a multitude of unknowns: Is it gay to have casual sex with your classmate if he says it isn't gay? Is it totally incriminating to never ask your own gay best friend that question? Does Will Byers have a secret boyfriend? Is Mike accidentally secretly in love with his own best friend?
Or: Mike and Will are unknowingly hooking up casually with the same DL in a simultaneous effort to cope with their unrequited feelings for one another.

Summary
“Okay.”
Mike snaps his head to Will, looking for a sign that he didn’t hear him right. Will just keeps looking at the ceiling, cheeks now bright red.
“O-okay…?” He asks.
Will nods, his chest heaving faster than before. “Okay.”
He pulls his eyebrows together. “Just- just to make sure, you’re saying okay to-”
“You wanna jerk off with me here.”
Mike’s eyes widen, and he quickly looks back up to the ceiling.
“Okay,” Will repeats.
OR
Will is staying at the Wheelers' for the summer of 1991, and Mike is starting to realize there are a lot of things he likes about having Will in his bed. Will's excuses of Mike just being "pent up" start to run out when Mike offers a solution to fix that: getting off together. (Like all great best friends do, of course.)

Summary
The water ebbs around them, slow and tranquil, but the storm raging inside Will is anything but.
All he sees are Mike’s eyes as he closes the gap. A drop of water rolls down his neck, disappearing into the naked line of his collarbone.
“Say no if you don’t want me to,” he murmurs. “Push me back.”
Or, Will gets swept into Mike’s irresistible pull after a single night that changes their friendship forever. Late night talks turn into even later night kisses, friendly nudges to intoxicating touches, and the creaking of bedsprings now means something other than the return of Will's nightmares. Each new change blurs the line between friendship and something more, and as Will struggles to stay afloat through Mike's confusing storm, he starts wondering what it is exactly they are - and whether he'll sink for good in trying to find out.
