    Summary

    With the Byers temporarily living under the Wheelers' roof, Mike and Will are forced into a proximity they’ve been desperately trying to avoid, after both getting sick. Between shared blankets and hazy fever dreams, the lines they’ve drawn between friendship and something more begin to blur, forcing them to confront a reality neither is ready to name.

    Or

    Mike and Will are in love with each other, but they're too scared to admit it, so it takes a delirious fever for them to finally stop lying to themselves, with childood memories and an angry confession in the rain.

    "He realized, with a terrifying clarity, that he would trade every bit of safety and normalcy for just one more second of Mike Wheeler looking at him like he was the only thing that mattered in the world."

    Summary

    This is something that, probably, someone with more objectivity on the situation than Mike would categorize as not normal. Personally, though, Mike isn’t all that pressed. Not when it’s so undeniably pleasant. He’s fine being abnormal about Will if it means not ruining this for himself.
    After a few minutes, Will props himself up on one elbow, looking at Mike with sudden urgency. “Mike,” he says, blinking slowly at him, and Mike pauses the show again, arching an eyebrow at him.
    “Yes?”
    Will grins, all crooked and boyish and brilliant in the soft glow of the living room lamplight. “Let’s make out.”

    the one where they're exes who still kiss sometimes, but not, like, in a weird way.

    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

    “Wait,” Lucas takes another glance at Will, specifically at the sweater he’s wearing. “Is that Mike’s?”

    Here’s the other thing about the last eight or so months of Will Byers’ life: he’s been spending his nights, on and off, secretly, semi-occasionally, very frequently, kissing Mike Wheeler.

    He’s confused about it too, don’t even worry.
