Summary
“There's my Mike.”
“I wasn't your Mike before?”
“Well.” Will brushes a thumb up and down his cheek as he holds him. “This is what he usually looks like.”
“How do I look?”
“Tired.” Will's face gains color, pink and flourishing. “Beautiful.”
( Graduation day reminds Mike that the normalcy he has always craved is still scary, still uncertain. It is less scary with Will. The post-lasagna fic. )

Summary
The idea of gayness wasn’t as alien as it might have been to him at first, which probably explained why this whole Will thing was less life-altering than he would’ve thought it to be.
Also, the very concept of his first boy crush ever was Will made a whole lot of goddamn sense. It felt like the most logical conclusion he’d ever come to. Like nothing had ever made more sense than him liking Will.
Honestly, the weirdest part was that it was only happening now. Was it weird to think this was the weirdest part?
Or: Mike Wheeler sets out to woo his best friend, forgetting that communication sometimes actually requires the precise use of specific words.

Summary
Cute Boy in Trader Joes・9/14・Manhattan
Ran into you (sorry again) at the Trader Joe's on 14th. I complimented your shirt and you complimented mine. I thought you were so pretty and wanted to ask for your number but wimped out. I hope you see this.
"That one's sweet," Max says. "And look! That's the Trader Joe's that we go to."
Will is silent for long enough that Max looks back at him questioningly. She scans his face, and he's sure that his cheeks are bright red.
"Max," he says finally, voice quiet and disbelieving. "I think that one's about me."

Summary
Mike looks up, eyes wide. His ears turn a brilliant shade of red. “Oh. I was, um– I was talking to…” Mike takes a long pause, then screws his eyes shut and tips his head back. He lets out a mumbled string of words that Will doesn’t catch.
“Huh?”
“I said,” Mike says, speaking louder and opening his eyes, “hisnameisWill.”
For a long, long moment, it’s completely silent. The bunny’s nose twitches. Will stares at Mike, uncomprehending, and Mike stares back at him, his jaw clenched. Somewhere outside, the wail of an ambulance nears and then fades.
“Um…” Now it’s Will’s turn to trail off. He has no idea how to respond to that. He has no idea how to even process that. “You named your rabbit… Will?”
Or: the appropriate response to discovering that your estranged childhood best friend named his depression pet after you.

Summary
The sound of another pair of skates made Will whip his head around, just to see something pulled straight from one of his nightmares.
Mike Wheeler. On skates. Wearing that stupid smirk on his face as he glided in Will’s direction.
“What are you doing here?” Will asked, unamused.
Mike shrugged, still smirking. “What does it look like? I’m skating, genius.” Will would usually describe himself as a pacifist, but he really wanted to hit him right now.
Will Byers just wanted to get through his senior year in one piece, get his art scholarship, and place at the US figure skating championships. Enter Mike Wheeler, the loud and obnoxious co-captain of the Hawkins Tigers hockey team, and Will's former best friend.
