    Summary

    “Can I ask you something?”
    Will laughs a little, shaking his head with an expression of complete bewilderment. “You already have.”
    “Something else.”
    Will shrugs. Mike wonders what he’s thinking. “Go for it.”
    “It might be weird,” Mike warns in a stage whisper. He isn’t sure what’s weird or not anymore. He has a feeling this question crosses the line, but the feeling isn’t strong enough to stop him from asking. Not with Will standing so close, looking so glowy and perfect.
    “Whatever, Mike,” Will laughs. “It can’t be weirder than what’s already happened to-”
    “Have you ever thought about us?”

    In which Mike Wheeler gets drunk, tries to kiss his best friend, and is generally an idiot. What else is new.

    Summary

    “What?”, Will huffs, shaking his head in disbelief. “You know blue does not only equate sadness, right? It is one of the blatantly obvious meanings, sure, but it can also imply tranquility, loyalty, trust, peace, and—"

    Shut up, shut up, shut up, the voice in his head screams by now, but one cannot interrupt Will in the middle of one of his art rants. Impossible. No chance. “And with the vastness of the sky or sea, blue is also often associated with distance, longing, yearning, and— stuff.”

    “Distance”, Mike echoes, and only then does Will truly understand what he has just admitted into the air freely, completely unprovoked and voluntarily. “Longing. Yearning.”

    Obviously, this is the exact moment Robert Smith decides to sing about the fact that it is Friday, and that he is very much in love.

    Five times Mike distracts Will from his art assignments with his stupidly flirtatious ways, and one time Will actually needs his help to complete a coursework.

    Summary

    This is what Mike’s been thinking about, in between worrying whether they’re all going to die, which definitely suggests that his priorities are a little out of whack, but he can’t help it. The past year has been bizarre, to put it lightly, but he thought that one of the better things to come out of it is that he and Will are friends again, like, real, close friends. He’s wondered, once or twice, in the midst of his own relationship’s crumbling status, whether Will has ever had any romantic entanglements, whether he plans to. Previously, Mike had ruled it out, because he thought if Will was interested in someone that he’d tell him about it, or at least not hide it. But Robin mentioned a date, and Will’s the only guy she’s been around lately except for Steve, who’s pretty obviously still hung up on Nancy (ew), so, like, what else is Mike supposed to think?

    Will has made a new friend. Mike feels normal about it, really.

    Summary

    As Hawkins continued post-government hold, Mike's hair had grown out much longer and faster than he could keep up with. Thankfully, Will noticed, and took matters into his own hands.

    Or, Will gives Mike a haircut. It makes him struggle internally a lot more than he thought it would.
