    Summary

    "Okay, maybe I got a bit hurt, but worse has happened. Besides, if I'm hurt, so are you. You nearly got mauled by that demogorgon."

    "So did Robin and Lucas!"

    "I guess that's true." Will hums. "It's just different with you."

    Mike looks elated with Will's words before he seems to remember something and Will can see the exact moment his mood shifts.

    "So, what's the deal with Robin anyway?" Mike asks with faux-indifference and Will feels a strong sense of deja vu as he thinks back to, sighing deeply.

    "Why does everyone keep asking me that?"

    This causes Mike to tense up, jaw clenching slightly. "Who else has been asking you about Robin?"

    Or: Will gets hurt, Mike gets jealous, and they finally talk. Set directly after s5ep4.

    Summary

    It’s quiet for a few minutes, long enough for Will to think that Mike’s fallen back asleep. But then he speaks again, his voice a low, conspiratorial whisper: “Hey, Will?”
    Will hums absently, half asleep himself. He’s always more tired after he gets emotional, and Mike’s so warm.
    “I know it’s, like, not the greatest circumstances,” Mike says, “but I like this. Being- there for each other, I guess.”

    Maybe Will's crazy, but he's starting to think Mike might like him back.

    Summary

    El’s mouth twists to one side, the way it does when she’s about to deliver bad news. Mike’s gut sinks further. “Will’s bringing Andy home for the holidays to meet everyone.”

    Logically, there is only one possible context behind all of this, but that does not mean Mike is willing to believe it before he has to. “Right,” he says, feeling vaguely on the verge of hyperventilating, “and- El, who the fuck is Andy?”

    At this, El’s expression of thinly veiled pity shifts into proper shock, her eyes going wide and round. “Oh,” she says, “oh, dear.”

    Mike comes home from his first semester at college with a plan: to make Will Byers his boyfriend. Unfortunately, it appears someone else has already beaten him to it.

    Summary

    Will doesn’t have anything to lose anymore, and Mike can’t lose him. The two go hurtling towards an inevitable precipice where the only option might be to go tumbling down together, limbs grappling for each other, flesh melding, and heartbeats syncing in time.

    OR

    Will’s composure cracks and beats up their middle school bully, finishing the job Mike started. :)

    Summary

    It's not that Mike wants Will to be a girl, but if he were, their lives would be so much easier.

    (Or; during a game of truth or dare, Will ends up in El's clothing. Mike can't help but notice how similar they are.)
