Summary
Something in that moment shifted for him, because now all he could think was, I wish you would kiss me.
It wasn’t even really the fact that he was gay that sent him into a full on crisis, it was the fact that it was Richie of all people.
You just had to go and get a crush on your best friend, huh? Nice going, dumbass. Richie, who was loud and obnoxious, who teased him non-stop, who made inappropriate jokes about fucking his mother, who ruffled his hair and kissed his cheek just to annoy him, who called him Eddie Spaghetti.
He fucking liked Richie Tozier.
This was dangerous. Richie was his best friend, and you weren’t supposed to get feelings for your best friend, especially if you’re both boys.
So no one could find out. This was a secret that would live and die with him, even if it meant being slowly eaten away until he withered down to bones.
That was, until Bill and Bev started dating.
-
or in which Richie tries to send hints to Eddie, chasing him, while Eddie runs away, convinced there’s no way Richie could like him back. Naturally, this results in an excruciating amount of pining between two best friends who are both too afraid to mess it up.

Summary
Mike's eyes focus on the drawing, and a slow smile spreads across his face. "It's cute," he murmurs, the words slightly muffled but unmistakably fond.
Will raises an eyebrow, a playful defense ready at his lips. "Cute? I was going for 'cool' and 'strong.' Knights are supposed to be formidable, not cute."
Mike looks up at Will, his smile widening. "Yeah, but, it's cute that you drew it for me," he insists. The sincerity in his gaze is unmistakable, and it sends an unexpected flutter through Will's chest.
Will's cheeks burn with a blush, the compliment catching him off guard. "I always draw stuff for you."
"Yeah, and it's always cute. Just like you," Mike adds, his hand reaching out to gently boop Will on the nose.
...
Will, his cheeks aflame, stammers in disbelief, "Did you just—"

Summary
Perceptive isn’t a word Jonathan Byers would use to describe himself. Watchful could work, but only to a certain degree. A careless, languid watchful. Too relaxed to be considered sharp, but he notices enough not to lose the title altogether.
Will and Mike, from Jonathan’s perspective.

Summary
When Will needs to get his thoughts out of his head, he writes a letter he never intends to send. He addresses it to Mike, and tells him everything.
Feeling lighter than he has in weeks and buoyed by the adrenaline of writing it all out, Will acts on an impulse and ends the letter with, "If you’d be willing to give me a chance, I’d be really happy to date you. If you’re open to trying it, please meet me in Castle Byers this Saturday at 2:00pm. I’m not asking for any promises, I’m not asking for forever or anything like that; all I’m asking is that you give me a chance. Come if you want; if not, I completely understand, no hard feelings, and I’ll never, ever mention this again."
He forgets all about the letter, and the distinctive red envelope he stowed it in, until he turns around to find it missing. Now, Will has to think of some way to stop Mike from reading that letter - or should he wait at Castle Byers on Saturday at 2:00pm and pray for a miracle?
