    “I always knew you were…”

    “What?”

    “Magic.”

    Jesus. Now it was Will’s turn to blush.

    There are snowballs, and then there’s… that.

    Summary

    "Why did you lie?"

    Will felt gravity leave him, felt his body untether itself from this mortal realm and float directly into the setting sun. The room was casted in a yellow-gold, beamless and directionless - and because Will was a sinner, he replied, "About what?"

    Mike's face creased. He shook the rolled up painting, tightening his fist around it. "About this, Will. Don't play dumb."

    (AKA: Oh, you know - just your standard Mike-finds-out-about-the-painting confrontation.)

    Summary

    Will stirred sleepily to the sound of voices and a heavy weight beside him.

    “Whazup?” he mumbled, lifting his head off the pillow and blinking in the darkness.

    “Shhh, it’s fine,” replied Mike’s soft voice, breaking through the stillness that had followed Will’s muffled question, “I’ve got this one. You can go back to sleep.”

    Mike and Will take turns staying up with Holly, who has begun to have nightmares about the monsters in Hawkins. Things take a curiously domestic turn.

    Summary

    And – that feels awfully revealing, so he adds, “I like the suit.”

    Mike brightens, and he’s just a step or two away, now, and Will could reach out and touch him. “I’m glad,” he says, “I was – I was hoping you would.”

    “Oh.” Will really wants to kiss him. “Well, I do.”

    Mike beams. “Good.”

    “Good,” Will echoes, feeling at a loss for what to say, but it doesn’t seem to matter when Mike’s grin only widens, and then his hands are on Will again, like they always seem to be, lately, and Will has no protests when they’re only a few inches away from each other.

    Mike has been acting strange, and, if Will didn't know any better, he'd almost think Mike was flirting with him.
    Thankfully, he knows better.
    Kind of.

    Of course Will is here. They take care of each other. It’s what they do.

    or: Mike and Will, through the years and in between the lines of friendship and something more.
