Summary
"Why?"
“Because you are clearly not okay. If this is what it takes to make it better, I don’t see any issue with that.”
Will could see plenty of issues with it. The fact that they were supposed to be best friends and now they're all but fucking each other to name one. To name another, the fact that Will is in love with him and is unsure of Mike's feelings, just like he had always been. Another, the fact that he felt like he was taking advantage of Mike's kindness to get his rocks off and find some sleep. There were too many things wrong with this.
or
Will avoids Hawkins for many reasons, Mike Wheeler being one of them. After a dreaded visit to Hawkins and a week of risky activities, Will retreats to New York. Fate would have it, that Mike becomes his loud next-door neighbor. In a fit of sleep deprivation, Will asks him for a favor. One that blurs the lines of their relationship, the both of them questioning everything.

Summary
Mike is waiting for Will in the basement, a look of suspicious, nervous excitement on his face. He cleared the table and laid out upon it are two card games.
"Now, I know you’ll resist," Mike blurts out, stepping toward him. "But I think this will be good. For both of us! For when we... you know,” Mike trails off, “When we get partners.”
Will scoffs, stepping closer to inspect the titles.
Spill or Sip and Truth, Dare, or Strip.
Or: Mike suggests a spicy card game to help Will loosen up before college. It works a little too well, and suddenly they’re gambling with unresolved feelings, and clothes, that were meant to stay in place.

Summary
Will Byers has spent years learning not to read too much into the things Mike Wheeler says and does.
Which is working out pretty well for him, thank you very much.
Mike is still his best friend, and they share an apartment together in New York. Mike even tolerates Will’s boyfriend.
Then at 2am while Mike is on a night out, Will accidentally sends him a photo that was very much meant for someone else.
He’s all but ready to pack up and leave the country out of embarrassment until…Mike sends him one back.
The messages might be mixed, but the signals are loud and clear.

Summary
“So walk me through the plan again?”
Max huffed, lifting herself up to sit on the kitchen counter next to where Will was brewing a pot of coffee. “Seriously? We’ve been through this about a dozen times already.”
“I know, I know! It’s just—I don’t know, I’m feeling a little nervous about it.” Will anxiously tapped his fingers on the countertop, staring at the slow drip of the coffee. “I don’t love the idea of lying to Mike–what if he completely freaks out?”
“Isn’t that kind of the point?”
--------
Max & Lucas devise a plan to make Mike jealous by pretending to be in a polyamorous throuple with Will when Mike comes to visit over Spring Break.
