Summary
“I love you,” Mike whispers, and Will just about stops breathing.
He looks more intensely at Mike, whose hair sort of looks like it’s glowing from the sunlight filtering through the car window. He’s perfect.
Will is sure that he’s dreaming. He must have died somewhere on the highway, and now he’s in heaven. This can’t be real.
“What?” he finally chokes out.“That’s what I never said to El.” Mike looks out the window, away from Will. “I never said ‘I love you.’ She says it to me in her letters, but I haven’t said it back in mine. I’ll tell her that I care about her or that she’s everything to me, but not that I love her, and that’s why we fought. I don’t even know why I didn’t say it. I love you. It’s not that hard to say. I can say it just fine now. I love you, I love you, I love you.” Mike’s voice breaks off.

Summary
“Why didn’t you tell me?”
The words came out before he could stop himself. Mike knew he had no right to ask but he was hurt, hurt because he had always defended Will, he would always defend him. He used to know everything about him, they would always tell each other everything first.
Things had changed when Will was in California but the past 18 months while they were living together they had fixed things, they were a duo again… in Mike’s eyes they had. Together. Will had promised.
“What–? I mean… it's not really something that just comes up in conversation.”
or, my rewrite of volume 3 because what WAS that.

Summary
Will Byers loves Mike Wheeler.
It shouldn’t be a big deal. Of course he loves Mike. He always has. But it’s never felt like this. It’s never hurt to think about it, but it also never felt like a revelation rather than a fact. It hurts, and there’s nothing he can do to ease the pain. He looks across the room at Mike and all he sees is beauty where minutes ago he only saw his best friend. He notices entire constellations in the freckles strewn across his nose, stars glittering in his eyes, and it all seems inevitable. He loves Mike. He loves him and it’s a foregone conclusion, a wish on a shooting star destined to burn out. He loves him and he can’t ever have him, not in that way, and there’s nothing in the world that can ever hurt him again quite like this.
OR: When the party dares Mike to tell someone he loves them for one hundred days, Will doesn't expect to be the unlucky recipient. He definitely doesn't expect it to consume his last three months in Hawkins. But like most things in his life, absolutely nothing goes to plan.

Summary
Their shoulders brushed again, slow and equally savored. The kind of movement you couldn't pretend was an accident.
So Will brushed back, just barely. Testing. Flirting. Mike inhaled softly, the faintest noise escaping him. And then he spoke like he was physically unable to stay silent any longer.
“Will? If… if that boy you like…” he was standing so close that Will could feel the warmth of him against the cold air. “…If you ever wanted to tell him…”
Will felt his breath stop.
“…I think he’d want to know.”
OR: Yet another buzzy post vol 1 fic where Will grows more confident, Mike short-circuits over it, and they save the world together !!
**Can be read as a vol 2/3 fix-it fic post-finale
