Summary
“Instead of playing that song, I will strive to use my new disc jockey skills to bring about romantic bliss for the one person left in this town who really deserves a happy ending.”
Will clears his throat. He looks like he’s ready to cry. “And, um, what am I swearing?”
“You, younger Byers,” Robin says, “are swearing that you will be your truest self and not neglect your hard-won feelings, and that you will try to believe in a world where the boy you love loves you back. In the gay way, of course,” she adds.
“Of course,” Will sighs. “Well, then, I swear.”
Or: 5 times Robin and Steve play the wrong song + 1 time they get it right

Summary
Will knows what having a crush looks like. He’s known it for years.
And lately, he's been seeing the signs on the face of one Mike Wheeler every time he looks at him. Maybe it’s always been there, but not to this degree.
In the last six months, though, the planets had aligned in some strange pattern, or the earth had been tilted on its axis by the hand of God, or something, because Will noticed it pretty quickly.
So, Will's finally decided to start testing the waters. For example: he has been flirting.
Well, okay…

Eddie Munson's Guide To Adopting Gay Freshmen by PhenomenalWoman

Summary
Mike Wheeler marches up to Eddie Munson during lunch on the third day of the school year with three boys trailing after him and his chest puffed out like he’s prepared to be told to get lost and refuses to take it
“We want to join Hellfire,” Mike declares, and two of the boys nod unwaveringly. The third boy, not physically shorter but hunched like he wants to take up as little space as possible, with a truly unfortunate bowl cut shifts his gaze from Mike Wheeler to the floor.
Eddie thinks he sees something familiar in his eyes when he looks at Mike.
“Okay,” he finds himself saying, voice a low drawl that has the whole group of freshmen blinking in surprise. “Our first meeting is this Friday in the drama room. Seven o’clock. Don’t be late, shitheads.”
***
AKA — Eddie and Will deserved to meet in canon and have the same relationship that Steve and Dustin have.

Summary
A certain scene from the movie popped up, causing Will’s mouth to drop open and for his eyes to widen as he soaked in what was on the TV.
Of all the scenes in the movie, Mike had returned The Outsiders paused during the few, brief seconds when Sodapop was getting out of the shower in the background of the shot. Sodapop haphazardly covered himself with a towel, and then wrapped the towel just, like, stupidly low around his hips, his chest still wet and bare from the shower.
Or:
3 times that Mike Wheeler doesn’t rewind his rental movie before returning it to Family Video + 1 time that he does.
