Summary
“Will Byers?”
Will glances around, as if there is another Will Byers in their vicinity. He manages a small smile. “Yeah, it’s- uh. It’s me.”
Mike rushes forward, and all he can think is holy shit, Will is alive, as he’s throwing his arms around the other boy and tugging him in for a crushing hug. It isn’t until Will is secure, nestled–maybe a bit stiffly–in his arms, that Mike starts crying.
“I thought you were dead,” Mike murmurs, muffled by Will’s jacket. He sniffles. “I thought- we- they told us you were dead.”
Or, Will was never found in S1, but survives in the Upside Down until 1987 due to his powers and connection with Vecna. Cue Mike, an ill-timed trip to the Upside Down, and a lot of feelings.

Summary
Apparently Mike and El are trying to “reignite the spark” by having a weekly date night. El had lit up enthusing about it, had broken into her piggy bank to get a new dress for the occasion.
Mike, for his part, hasn’t looked Will in the eye since the almost-thing had almost-happened.
And Will. Well, Will keeps drawing Mike’s stupid hands.AKA, Mike takes El out for date nights and is a perfect gentleman, and afterwards, he sneaks into Will's room to do less-than-gentlemanly things.

Summary
Mike is a firm believer in the theory that if you exit someone’s life, or if they exit from yours, they will not show up again if the story is over. Stories are supposed to end cleanly. Fade-out, roll credits, no surprise sequels.
Real life is not the same.
Or maybe it’s fate
(will and mike move to new york and find each other again)

Summary
God, Mike thought. He looked so… good.
Not in a weird way, just that Mike supposed he could never grow tired of looking at Will. Fuck, that was weirder. Still, the way Will’s arms were starting to fill out his jacket was new, and the soft fringe of his hair brushing the top of his brow made Mike want to run his fingers through the strands. Really, Mike just wanted to be close to him. As close as possible. The closest you could get to somebody, without being…
Well. Would he mind that?
OR
With the ever-present threat of the world ending, Mike is afraid of losing Will. He realizes his feelings towards his "best friend" aren't exactly platonic. Meanwhile, Will is starting to question Mike's behavior.
