Summary
As children, their height difference had always been something that made Will’s stomach flip-flop in that familiar, weightless manner. Fluttery, before he had ever known what it meant.
Mike would never loom over him, ominous and terrifying like adults were.
Now, with a few years and a handful of growth spurts between them, the difference isn’t as obvious. If Will stood up at full length, he’d meet Mike’s eye with ease. But Will has never learned how to control himself around Mike. So he makes himself smaller, without really meaning to.
or:
Four times someone points out Will acting weird around Mike, and the one time Mike asks him about it.

Summary
Mike's breath hitched again, not out of fear but something else— something he was too afraid to name, something he had suspected for a long time and buried deep.
Across the MAC-Z, Will wiped at the blood under his nose.
He’s beautiful, Mike thought fleetingly— unable to control it, and secretly not wanting to either.
Then Will fell to his knees, and time snapped right back into place like a broken rubber band.
or, Mike and Will in the immediate aftermath of the MAC-Z (ft. Lucas) ; 5x04 coda
Note: now complete with chapter 2 added! (please check updated tags)

Summary
Will knew he shouldn’t have tested Mike like that. Hell, he shouldn’t even be thinking about Mike the way he thinks about Mike. But he does.
So Will does it again; he slowly leans into Mike, waiting for a reaction, a movement, a flinch, a comment, anything.
Then he feels it, Mike slowly leans into his touch. Almost subconsciously, but he definitely does.

Summary
Will blinks. Mike is looking at him with an amused look on his face, wide-eyed and a little pink across the bridge of his nose, and God, okay, Will wants to–
“Um,” he says instead. “Huddling? For warmth?”
“For warmth,” Lucas echoes, and then looks back at Dustin again. “Huddling. For warmth.”
“Like penguins,” Mike offers, and then rests his head on Will’s shoulder like this is supposed to be helping, or something.
Will Byers and the harrowing experience of being snowed in with your mom, your almost-stepdad, all of your friends, and your (kind of) (secret) boyfriend.
