    Summary

    “I was in love with you,” He mumbles, voice heavy with wetness and choked down tears, barely coherent. But Mike stills beside him at once, the furious up and down of his chest stopping entirely.

    Will harshly swipes off incoming tears.

    “What?” Mike says, dumb and stupefied, “When?”

    “Before,” He replies, trying his best not to cry. Mike, finally, leans away and ends their contact leaving Will cold.

    “Before or after Tammy?”

    His voice came out tight and controlled. Will felt like a child throwing a tantrum.

    “Mike,” He somehow gains the strength to match that collected cadence, “You are Tammy.”

    It's been two years since everything ended. Since the Upside Down closed, El died and everything went back to normal. And now it's the summer after graduation, the last summer he ever spends in Hawkins, spends with Mike Wheeler who Will Byers has been trying to get over for the past two years among other things such as trying to pretend he isn't actively falling apart.

    When Max, Lucas and Dustin all leave town for a week, leaving Mike and Will to each other. A series of explosions occur between them, decisions are taken, mistakes are made and things change.

    Summary

    “You’re not coming this summer. I haven’t seen you in a year and a half and I know it’s-it’s pathetic—“

    “It’s not pathetic,” Will interjects quickly, shaking his head, “It’s not—“

    “It is, Will,” he hears Mike’s voice break over another hitched breath, “I know you’re… I just want you to be happy. I never want you to come back to Hawkins, but I’m fucking selfish. I’m so selfish, and I’m sorry.”

    Will lets the tears spill over and he lets that want that’s always itching under his skin show itself.

    “My whole life I’ve missed you every second you’ve been away from me,” Will confesses quietly into the receiver.

    If you’re pathetic, I’m wretched.

     

    -

     

    Not long after the final battle, Mike and Will were inseparable– until Will moved out to New York.

    Despite the weekly calls and the freedom of living their lives without terror, there’s no world in which they could last so long apart without it feeling like torture.

    Will gets a call, and three days later, Mike is at his doorstep.

    It only takes a day for them to fall back together again.

    Summary

    It's 1992, and Mike and Will are juniors in college and living together in a tiny NYC apartment. Life is great. It's everything Mike could ever want: his best friend, an incredible city, and the world at his fingertips. The only problem? He's in love with said best friend and has no idea how he could ever tell him.

    Luckily for him, he's presented with an opportunity to get much closer to him every Friday night, as long as he promises not to get all weird after. How hard could that be?

    Or: Mike and Will become friends with benefits and the universe laughs because they're both ridiculously in love with each other.

    Summary

    “I apologize.” The cop finally looked back up at his face, seeming thrilled. “It’s just—it’s been so long. And we finally have you.”

    That was a bad word. Not found.

    Have.

    Stiles wrenched his hand free and took a step back, but before he could even think up a gameplan, he felt a prick in his neck and jerked away, reaching up to slap one hand against it and twisting in the same moment.

    One of the others had come up behind him while he hadn’t been paying attention, and his vision began to swim even as his eyes caught sight of the half-empty syringe the guy was holding.
