Summary
"I'm so hungry I could eat Will Byers." Jane bursts into a fit of giggles. Mike's heart drops.
"What?" His mouth feels dry. His hands are sweating. He can feel a flush creeping up his neck.
Jane repeats her words between cackles and wheezes, "I said... I'm so hungry... I could eat... Will Byers!"
All of the kids are laughing now, some big inside joke that Mike is the butt of. He feels sick. He feels something he can't place.
"How do you know that name?" He asks, the words catching in his throat like bile.

Summary
"Shit, I’m so sorry- um- are you all right?"
Mike stumbles over his words for a second, before reaching out a hand to pull the guy up.
And then Mike stops talking, their hands still entwined.
Because it’s-
"Will?"
"Mike?"
Time stops for a second. Because this was Will. The person Mike once told he would go ‘crazy together’ with. The person he used to spend hours with in his dusty basement, closer than necessary for a pair of eight-year-old boys, but they were Will and Mike.
This was Will. The person he never bothered to call after he left for university, just because he couldn’t deal with someone leaving him before he could leave them. The same Will who he let run to voicemail for months, before the calls stopped.
And here they are. Five years later.
----
or, mike and will bump into eachother on a train, five years after they graduate (and five years since they last talked.)

Summary
It’s 1992, 3 years since the party went their separate ways and began their own journeys. Dustin and Mike at college, Lucas and Max settling down together and Will in California.
A missed meet-up leads to a reschedule, multi-coloured strobe lights and the resurfacing of feelings that were supposed to stay buried.
But will those feelings remain a secret or will they snowball into an avalanche?

Summary
Will smiles encouragingly at him, swiping his tears away and kissing his forehead again. "Let's make a deal, okay?" he murmurs, voice low and full of a bittersweet sort of hope. "If in five years we're both doing better, and we're not dating anyone else-" Mike blanches at the concept of dating anyone else, of Will dating anyone else- "we can try again, okay?"
Five years sounds like a terribly long time. In five years, Mike will be twenty-three. He'll be done with college, will have a career, could be living anywhere in the world for all he knows, and the same goes for Will.
But five years is a whole lot less than forever, so Mike will take it.
In the summer of 1989, Mike and Will fall apart. Five years later, they fall back together.
