Summary
“That is dumb.” She blinked. “I do not care if Will brings a boy. Will is Will. He is kind. He should be able to go with us and a boy and have fun.”
“Exactly!” Dustin snaps. “Which is why I’m asking Will to be my prom date!”
Or
Dustin Henderson has a plan.
It is a good plan.
The fact that it may cause emotional fallout, accidental matchmaking, and unforeseen consequences is not his fault.- Language:

Summary
Mike tosses the empty cup somewhere on the couch as he gets on his feet and strides toward Lucas’ dancing form, tucking a stray hair into his gelled hair as he tells him that he is leaving and asks him to drive Will home.
“Where are you-” Lucas shouts over the music.
“Important.” He plainly states, earning him a questioning look before he turns away and toward the front door.
He’s got a plan.
(or mike finally comes to his senses and chases the boy thats slowly slipping away.)

Summary
New City. New School. Same Old Heartbreak.
Will Byers thought sharing a dorm with Mike Wheeler would be a dream come true. Instead, it’s a front-row seat to Mike’s awkward attempts at moving on from El. But when a messy night ends in a kiss that feels anything but accidental, the rules of their friendship are rewritten overnight.
Will is happy to play the role of the secret lover, the placeholder, if it means keeping Mike in his life. He’s prepared for the breakup. He’s prepared for Mike to find a "real" girlfriend. He’s prepared for everything... except the possibility that Mike isn't pretending at all.

Summary
When Will is trying to find batteries for the remote during his and Mike's movie night, he stumbles across a yellow box with his name on it in Mike's desk.
Will knew he should leave it alone, walk away and go back like he saw nothing. But it wasn't that easy. Nothing was ever easy for William Byers. So he took the box and guiltily looked through it, unravelling his best friend's deepest secrets.

Summary
Will decided he’d rather slip away into himself and observe everyone else rather than verbally participate. Which is what he’d been doing, successfully, he might add, for several weeks now. He’d still give just enough in group settings so no one would notice his lack of contribution to the conversation. And when he thought about it, he preferred it this way. He didn’t need eyes on him all the time, and he didn't need to be the center of attention. He’d rather watch and listen to his friends than overpower them with his thoughts or feelings.
Spying made it sound like it was wrong. But, if he changed it to observing… that was something everyone did.
Will began observing everyone.
or
Will learns how to slip into The Void. And he can't help but spy on Mike.
