    Summary

    “Wait, an- artsy guy from L.A.,” Mike repeats, frowning, “as in-”

    Down the hall, the door to Debbie’s office swings open, and Mike’s mouth drops open. “Oh,” he groans, “you have got to be kidding me.”

    Will does not look any more pleased to see him than Mike is. “Oh,” he says stiffly, as Debbie’s office door clicks shut behind him. “You again.”

    “Nice to see you too,” Mike replies, and Will’s face drops into a scowl.

    Exes, rivalries, and far too much mistletoe. What could possibly go wrong?

    Summary

    The little girl makes a squeaking noise, shoving her face into the guy's chest and bringing her thumb back up to her mouth. “Uh uh. Wanna stay with you, Daddy,” she implores.
    Her dad sighs, leaning back against the bench and placing a hand at her back, glancing apologetically over at Will. “She’s been going through this shy phase,” he says conspiratorially.
    Will laughs. “Personally, I’ve been going through a shy phase for almost three decades, so. I get it.”
    The guy snorts. “Fair enough.” He peers down at his daughter, who’s still hiding her face in his t-shirt, and smiles a little as he pats the top of her head. “I’m Mike, by the way."

    In which Will meets a very cute guy, with an even cuter daughter.

    Summary

    “Are you offended that people think we’re dating?”

    “No,” Mike says immediately. “Of course not,” because, again, he should be so lucky.

    Will’s baffled expression does not change. “Then why would I be?”

    “So– okay, fine, whatever. Should we, like, tell them to get their heads out of their asses and that we’re not– um– dating, or–”

    “I think,” Will cuts in, “well. You know what would be funny?”

    Honestly, Mike doesn't know what he thought being Will Byers' fake-boyfriend would entail, but he definitely didn't think it would involve this many ugly Christmas sweaters.

    Summary

    This is what Mike’s been thinking about, in between worrying whether they’re all going to die, which definitely suggests that his priorities are a little out of whack, but he can’t help it. The past year has been bizarre, to put it lightly, but he thought that one of the better things to come out of it is that he and Will are friends again, like, real, close friends. He’s wondered, once or twice, in the midst of his own relationship’s crumbling status, whether Will has ever had any romantic entanglements, whether he plans to. Previously, Mike had ruled it out, because he thought if Will was interested in someone that he’d tell him about it, or at least not hide it. But Robin mentioned a date, and Will’s the only guy she’s been around lately except for Steve, who’s pretty obviously still hung up on Nancy (ew), so, like, what else is Mike supposed to think?

    Will has made a new friend. Mike feels normal about it, really.
