    Summary

    Mike grins so widely that he displays each one of his baby teeth. "Open it," he says. "It's a card. I made it for you."

    When Will gingerly peels the birthday card open, Mike’s uneven handwriting is displayed across the page.

    The p’s in happy are backwards, the y wobbly and curled at the end, and the k in Mike is also flipped the wrong way. The word birthday is etched in their kindergarten teacher’s steady print, and it seems like she'd also added the punctuation for him. 

    Happy birthday, Will! 
    Love,
    Mike W

    Or: Will Byers' birthdays from age six to adulthood, told through cards from Mike.

    Summary

    “First time?”

    Will's face heats up. He doesn’t know why he cares so much about not looking like a fool in front of this man. “Not my first time smoking, just… buying. My friends always get it for me.”

    Mike leans back on the couch, thighs spreading to place his worn-out backpack between them. Will traces the outline of them underneath the bagginess of his jeans.

    “Oh, do they? Looks like someone’s used to the princess treatment.” Mike teases, glinting pupils a contrast to his dark eyeliner.

    Oblivious and unexpecting, Will has his first encounter buying weed; ergo, his first encounter with Mike Wheeler. But what he really doesn't expect is the way Mike stares at Will, intrigued eyes over the joint in his mouth. Nor the way Will later decides he needs to have him.

    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.

    Will Byers was never found Au

    Summary

    “So… Have you and Mike fucked yet?”

    Will nearly spits out his drink. “What?!”

    Max rolls her eyes. “Sorry, I forgot how you two are.” Her lip turns up, as she draws out her next words in an exaggerated fashion.

    “Have you made love yet?”

    The one where Will is sexually repressed, and he's quite literally losing his sanity over it.
