Then he meets a boy that looks like the friend that he left back in Hawkins and knows that its a bad idea to be anywhere near him.

Summary
Will didn't know why he kept coming back to this club every Friday. Maybe it was the way Boris threw his head back, just like Mike did, but not quite. Maybe it was because Boris looked at his hands and saw graphite, not a man who should have gotten used to the noise by now. Or maybe it was simply because smoking with Boris by the wall felt easier than everything else | post-season 5

Summary
It's fall in Hawkins, Vecna is dead, and the party is off pursuing their own adventures. Will and Mike are roommates at Oakridge College, and are struggling to adjust to living with each other.
It's easy to pretend that nothing has changed: to laugh too loud, to fill their silence with old stories, to act like the proximity doesn't mean anything. But it's difficult, because Mike notices everything now. He tells himself it's protectiveness. Habit. Guilt.
Until it isn't.

Summary
"Am I doing it right?" Mike gasped, his voice cracking as he pushed his hips down hard. "Will? Does it feel... is it too much?"
"It’s perfect," Will choked out, his eyes squeezed shut, fingers digging into Mike’s shoulders. "God, Mike, just stay there. Don't move."
"I can't move," Mike groaned, dragging himself upward in a slow, punishing slide that made Will’s breath hitch.
or,
Mike is convinced he’s broken. After a string of disastrous dates and a girl walking out of his dorm mid-hookup because he’s "too much," he’s spiraling. He decides he needs to practice, and the only person he trusts is Will.
Will agrees to a month of no-strings experimentation just to be close to him, but the line between "practice" and reality disappears the second they’re behind a locked door. Mike isn't just learning how to move; he's learning that he never wanted those girls in the first place.Bookmarked by Neverknowwhen22

Summary
“The name is Boris, by the way,” Boris grinned, taking one of the cigarettes out of the pack. “And you are?”
“Will,” he replied. Boris nodded his head, placing the cigarette in between Will’s lips.
Will froze. He wasn’t expecting that. And he certainly wasn’t expecting Boris to be looking at him so intimately, his dark eyes scanning over. Perhaps he was just being friendly to someone in need.
“Will. Short for William, no?” Boris looks down at his lips and then back up. Will felt like his soul was being stared into, his cheeks beginning to burn up.
“Yeah but,” Will mumbled around the cigarette in his mouth, watching Boris pull out a lighter from his pocket. “No one calls me William. It’s a stupid name.”
Boris lit Will’s cigarette. “What? I think William is a beautiful name.”
or
After Will moved to California with his family, he finds himself lonely.Who knew that one night of him trying to get some fresh air would lead to some complicated feelings resurfacing the week Mike Wheeler decides to visit?
When the final moment comes, who will he pick?

Summary
Ask Will where it started and he couldn’t pinpoint it for the life of him. Because it had always been there- the insecurity that flooded his brain and made him depict himself in front of the mirror- notice how his teeth were uneven, how his stomach pushed harshly against his shirt, how some days, his belt never seemed to fit, how big his wrists were.
But ask Will where his control spiralled and he’ll tell you that it was right after his mother punished the demon for invading her son. It was right after the gate closed and the night of the SnowBall.

Summary
Browsing a record store, Will Byers encounters the strangest thing he's seen in his short, strange life: an openly gay man. And what's more, this man seems to like him.
(this is NOT a romance. this explores an emotionally and sexually abusive relationship between an adult man and a teenager in a way that is not meant to romanticise or sexualise it. it's a very personal story. read with caution.)

Summary
"It's complicated," Mike says.
"Well, make it less complicated!"
Dustin throws his hands up. "Yeah, are you guys dating, or are you fighting? Because there's no way you're just friends anymore."
Will opens his mouth. His eyes are wide and a little scared, and Mike doesn't like it, but he looks back anyways.
His brain is doing the thing where it moves faster than he can follow it. Two options, Dustin said.
Will's mouth is still open. Mike thinks about fighting, and his brain slams shut. Nope. He thinks about everything Will said four days ago. If those are the only two options, Mike already knows which one he's picking.
"We're... dating," Mike says.
Or, Mike Wheeler decides that fake dating his best-friend-turned-hookup is a better option than losing him.

Summary
“Why are you touching him? You don’t own him.”
Will dropped his head into his hands. “Mike, oh my god—”
Paladin Mike’s jaw tightened. “I do not own him,” he said immediately. “He is—” He stopped, swallowing. His eyes went back to Will softening, and that softness made Mike hate him even more. He could recognize the look, and saw it mirrored in his own eyes countless times.
[...]
“He is the Light. By your oath, I am bound to him. My liege.” He bowed his head slightly toward Will, his mouth wrapped around the word like it was a prayer. “My cleric.” He said after, softer.
“Oh my god.” Will flushed, impossibly. “That is crazy. He is actually crazy."
Max, who had been standing with her arms crossed behind them, muttered, “Jesus Christ,” under her breath.
Mike Wheeler is going to explode, because there is an alternate, armoured version of him, following Will Byers around like he belonged to him.
