Summary
Will found it adorable how much Mike resembled a labrador in his behavior, moody, attentive, and loyal; almost like he was Will's guard dog. Will blushed at the thought as he took the bag from Mike and slung it over his shoulder. Their eyes found each other again, when Will was already in Dreamland, and he felt like an open book. He would have to defuse the situation before he threw himself into Mike's arms.
"Good boy." He joked, adjusting and fiddling with the strap on his shoulder. Will had to do his best to distract himself, and soothe his rampaging heart. But Mike didn't laugh, he moaned.
What?
Or, Will and Mike move into a duplex apartment together. Mike is like a clingy puppy, and Will learns how to use that to his advantage.

Summary
"Are we being weird?" Weird was a word that could mean anything. Were they being petty about not keeping contact, just not sure how to talk after school, or was Mike just hung up on Will being gay. Because Will was the gay one, Mike had to remind himself of that.
"Yeah I think so." His mind's eye wandered over to the box where he kept the stuff he didn't want his mom to see. Where he had kept the video tape, the magazine, and Will's yearbook photo. Mike had kept the one from his own yearbook, and now it was crumpled from how much he had held it the past few weeks. Mike was the one being weird, ruining their friendship.
"I'm sorry." Mike couldn't help his voice breaking a bit, and he let go of the button on his walkie before continuing. "I'm sorry for breaking the rules Will." He felt the need to make things up to Will, to fix their friendship before it got weird for real.
or: Mike has a set of rules: Will was allowed to be into guys, Mike wasn't. They were both absolutely not allowed to be into each other, that was just obvious. A perfect system of rules, if only he could follow even a single one.

Summary
There is no one Mike and Chance hate more than each other…
…Except Will’s new boyfriend, Carlton.
So, together they devise a plan to ruin his relationship with Will.
Chance is doing it because he wants Will back. Plain and simple. Chance never stopped loving Will, and it pains him to see him with a man that doesn't deserve him.
Mike is doing it purely out of spite, no other reason. Totally not his unresolved feelings for his childhood best friend, Will Byers. Pshhh. Absolutely not. Because Mike doesn't have feelings, that would be ridiculous! No no, see he's just petty and vindictive, and wants to see Carlton’s entire world burn around him while Mike stands there holding the matches! Breaking up him and Will just… happens to be a happy benefit of that!
They each have their own motivations for stealing Will from Carlton. They're doing the whole wide world a favor, really. But in order to do this, they have to put aside their differences and form a united front against Carlton… and through a series of hilarious hijinks and unfortunate events, slowly fall in love in the process.
You know what they say, the enemy of my enemy is my best friend.

Summary
Mike trudged through the forest, cold and frustrated and alone. He stepped over vines, careful and slow while yelling out the names of Holly and Eleven. His flashlight illuminated through the trees. It was terrifying to think this is what lurked beneath their feet this entire time. Mike knew who he was looking for. He had a tangible goal yet his mind drifted. It always drifted. Is this where Will had ended up? Maybe he was still here. Stuck. All these years. Mike didn't know if the thought was comforting or terrifying.
It didn’t help that Hopper had mentioned some weird activity on his crawls. How the upside down was supposed to be deserted, stuck on November 6th 1983. The day he disappeared. Yet some things seemed out of place. Like there was someone living down here. They had summed it up to the recent military activity, but there was a twinge of hope sparking in the back of Mike's brain. Irrational and probably stupid. It had been four years. There was no food here. No water. How would he have survived?

Summary
Will hesitated, his hands smeared with dirt. He hadn’t thought this far ahead. His planning had stopped at the getting-out-of-the-house-unnoticed-and-digging-him-up phase. But, now he thought about it, human heads didn’t just open like boiled eggs, did they?
-
In 1983, Will came back from the Upside Down not dead, but not exactly alive either. Five years on, in the middle of a Hawkins overrun by the Upside Down, it's getting harder and harder to hide that everyone who'd called him Zombie Boy had been absolutely right.

Summary
The summer before college, Mike and Will move into a tiny studio together, ready to start their next chapter — only to discover their across-the-street neighbor has a very public, very active sex life. Their weekly “observations for research purposes” are all jokes and commentary…until one night the neighbor brings home a man, and something in Mike shifts. Suddenly the bit isn’t so funny, the spiral is very real, the lines start to get a little too blurry, and the curiosity feels a bit too personal.
Unfortunately for Mike, the only thing more distracting than the view outside is his childhood best friend living three feet away.
