Summary
Mike Wheeler can be a good boyfriend. He knows he can. All those hours watching those stupid cheesy romcom movies weren't for nothing, but when push comes to shove, he isn't good enough for Eleven as she spends each day stressed out of her mind about losing. About Vecna. They broke up, and while he isn't happy about it, he also isn't one to give up.
Then he gets the idea. To show Eleven how great of a boyfriend he is with no need to win her back right away.
If he just pretends to date someone else, then he could kill two birds with one stone. It couldn’t just be anyone though, not with the apocalypse and all the upside down shit they were dealing with.
That’s where Will came in.
—
Will Byers is a dreamer. A stupid, love-struck dreamer who can't find it in himself to keep denying a chance to keep the boy of his dreams closer than ever.
He’d never get Mike really, so if he wanted to cling to the closest thing he could get — pretending to date — then who could really blame him?
(Takes place in the eighteen months between season 4 and season 5)

Summary
“What would you have said?” He asks, needing confirmation that he’s right. That Will had actually told him everything in the summer of 1986.
“What?” Will asks, a little high-pitched.
“If you confessed. What would you have told me?”
“Mike, we don’t have to—“
“I— I want to know,” Mike urges, forcing a smile. An attempt at softness, at lightness. A smile that’s trying to say, this can just be for fun, right?
Will studies him for a few moments, brows furrowed. He sighs, sitting up and bringing his hands to his lap where he fidgets with them. “I don’t know. I hadn’t thought that far ahead. I probably would have made a complete mess of it.” He huffs a cautious laugh.
Mike widens his smile, tilting his head to say, go on.
OR: Mike and Will leave Hawkins together for a road trip during the summer of 1989. The two weeks they spend together change them and their relationship irrevocably.

Summary
Will's a true sorcerer. Right after the truth comes to light in the middle of a battlefield, Mike Wheeler finds himself more amazed and enamored with Will than he'd like to admit. However, they don't have time to celebrate the peace, because not much after that, Vecna comes back, determined to take what Will loves the most if he isn't by his side in this war. The Demos try to take Mike, but right before he enters the Upside Down, Will jumps and goes with him.
They're together now. In the Upside Down. But they're alone too, with a long journey ahead of them. Mike knows nothing can go wrong. After all, the only thing Will has accepted is that now he has powers, right?
or,
Mike and Will end up alone in the Upside Down, and Vecna targets both of them.
