Summary
The boy turns around, and Mike thinks he must be seeing things. Ghosts, maybe, because that would be the only rational explanation.

Summary
“You… um, smoke?” Will asks before he can stop himself, swallowing as he watches a boy lean against the dusty, cracking brick wall.
Will doesn’t know much about the boy, except that his name is Mike and his father is the pastor.
“What?” He replies, pulling the cigarette from his lips and lightly blowing the smoke from his mouth. “Just because my dad is the pastor, you think I can’t enjoy a cigarette?
OR:
Will Byers is no stranger to religious guilt. He carries it everywhere he goes, and it’s starting to weigh him down.
When he meets Mike Wheeler, the pastor’s son, he realizes there is more to life than just fearing God, and it’s much scarier.

Summary
“Sorry. I just—I have this… thing,” Mike says slowly. “I think. About you being, like, protected, I guess? Taken care of. I think that’s why I find it so nice that you’re relaxed and healthy now. Because you never got to experience that before.”
“That’s… actually really sweet,” Will says, smiling. “Is that why you always want to cook me food and buy me things?”
It’s an honest question. Mike can tell from the look in Will’s eyes. He’s being completely genuine, not even trying to tease Mike about it. He probably doesn’t realise how deep this runs. Just how badly Mike wants this.
or
Will is happy, healthy, and glowing. Mike has a very hard time being normal about it.

Summary
The water ebbs around them, slow and tranquil, but the storm raging inside Will is anything but.
All he sees are Mike’s eyes as he closes the gap. A drop of water rolls down his neck, disappearing into the naked line of his collarbone.
“Say no if you don’t want me to,” he murmurs. “Push me back.”
Or, Will gets swept into Mike’s irresistible pull after a single night that changes their friendship forever. Late night talks turn into even later night kisses, friendly nudges to intoxicating touches, and the creaking of bedsprings now means something other than the return of Will's nightmares. Each new change blurs the line between friendship and something more, and as Will struggles to stay afloat through Mike's confusing storm, he starts wondering what it is exactly they are - and whether he'll sink for good in trying to find out.

Summary
Halting his blubbing, Mike blinks his eyes back open and allows for his vision to adjust to the unreasonably bright light that’s still surrounding him. His head lolls to the side, vision still coming in and out of focus as he tries to take in the image in front of him, blocking out all of his other senses.
Mike squints and… Oh.
Okay—why is God the dictionary definition of the word 'gorgeous'?
OR: Upon getting his wisdom teeth removed, Mike Wheeler doesn't remember much of anything—including Will Byers, and the fact that they're married to each other. He still feels all the love and adoration he has for the man, though... so he can't be blamed if it all comes spilling out of him in one way or another.

Summary
Mike swallows and reorganizes his priorities and grabs the radio out of the backpack. His fingers are on the push-to-talk when a loud clattering noise makes him whip towards the door. Will’s head snaps up at the same time, so Mike’s nose is in his hair, and normally that would be the distraction of a lifetime.
Except the clattering came from out there. The hallway beyond the door. And the only other thing in this school right now is—
“The Demodog.”
“Shh. Don’t move.”
As if Mike would be dumb enough to move. Still, not moving leaves them in what some would call a compromising position. When it was brief, Mike could stand not to notice every little detail, but rooted to their spots, he’s hyper-aware: their feet aligned in a puddle of Clorox, hips brushing, Will’s shoulder pressed into Mike’s chest, the tickle of Will’s hair against Mike’s nose. Mike clutching Will, Will clutching Mike.

Summary
Will has always been a sucker for all things art. Be it sketches, paintings, sculptures—he loves it all and wishes to have the talent to express himself using all forms of art.
In terms of classic beauty, there is no contest. No competition. Not a single thing in the entire world could make Will choose something else over Mike like this.
Ancient sculptors would have killed to carve his body out of marble. Hell, Will even has the burning urge to learn how to sculpt himself. Painting Mike isn’t enough—canvas could burn. Mike needs to be cast in stone.
OR
Will accepts Mike's offer to pose for him, and gets more than he asked for.

Summary
But it wasn’t a monster that came out of the trees. It was a person. A boy.
Mike froze.
Then he was spotted, and the boy stopped in his tracks; with skillful movements, he quickly slung the rifle off his shoulder and pointed it at Mike’s chest. Mike raised his hands while trying to keep most of his weight on his left leg.
“Whoa. Hey,” Mike said, his eyes wide as he stared at the tip of the rifle. “Just hold on. I’m not—I’m not going to hurt you.”
Or: A crawl gone wrong left Mike stranded in the Upside Down. Hurt and alone, Mike stumbles upon someone everyone told him was dead.

Summary
Mike came up behind him, arms sliding around Will’s waist as he rested his chin on his head. “What’d you get?”
Unwrapping the package revealed a small, cheap-looking stone lamp, the kind of thing you would see in a souvenir shop. A tag dangled from it with handwritten text: "Makes your wish come true!"
Will laughed, turning it over in his hands before showing it to Mike. "Yeah, right."
"What would you wish for anyway?" Mike asked, pressing a kiss to Will’s temple.
Will leaned back into Mike’s embrace, feeling safe and happy. He looked at the lamp, then at Mike, then back again, a playful thought forming.
“Hmm…” He pretended to think hard, a mischievous glint in his eyes. “The only thing that could make me happier than one Mike Wheeler… would be two.”
POOF!
Or: What if Will got to spend his birthday being destroyed by two Mike Wheelers.
