Summary
Max glances at her, an odd sort of look on her face, halfway between amusement and confusion. "I- I don't know," she says, bewildered, "It was a joke, mostly. I just meant- it's kind of a romantic scene, don't you think?"
El's frown deepens. "I guess," she says, because she supposes she could see it- there had been a split second, right before Max spoken up, where she'd expected something else to happen, although she hadn't exactly been sure what. "They are friends, though."
"That's what they all say," Max hums.
Every time El thinks she has this society thing figured out, someone throws her for a loop.

Summary
Today, though, is different, because today, Will is feeling incredibly grateful to have this job. All of a sudden he doesn't mind the sweeping and the dusting and the restocking shelves with books that, quite frankly, aren't to his own taste in any way whatsoever, aside from the tiny comic book section tucked away in the darkest part of the store. He's grateful for the silence and the boredom and the wasting his phone battery scrolling through the Instagram accounts of people he doesn't know or care about.
Because the thing is, if Will didn't have this job, he would have never had the opportunity to lay eyes on the very attractive guy that just walked in, and that, in and of itself, is enough to make him feel, vaguely, like his entire life is complete.
in which will works at the bookstore, and is charmed by a certain customer

Summary
Mike smiles, and Will lets his hand fall back into the grass. "Yeah?" he asks, not- not disbelievingly, per se, just gently questioning, like he knows there's more to the story because there always is, even if Will rarely grants him the full picture. "What are you thinking?"
Warmth washes over him, and Will lets his eyes fall shut, that strange calm still washing over him. Mike shifts a little closer, and Will can tell he's peering down at him even though his eyes are closed. Mike's hand finds Will's shoulder, brushing it lightly, and Will feels something resembling content.
"I was thinking," he huffs out, skin prickling with anticipation, but there's Mike's hand again, trailing over his bicep, quelling the anxiety, "that I love you."
It's a lazy summer day when Will decides to bite the bullet.

Summary
"Mike," Will says quietly, with the intention of saying something like 'it's okay' or 'crazy together' or 'you can tell us', and none of the things the jealous, bitter part of him is yelling, which are all variations of 'why wouldn't you tell me' and 'what could possibly be wrong and why are you so weird about everything, good Lord,' but the warring intentions cancel each other out and he winds up falling silent, simply tightening his grip on Mike's shoulder and widening his eyes meaningfully.
Mercifully, this seems to help anyway, because Mike takes a shaky breath and gives him a small smile, eyes locked on Will's as he straightens his spine and shifts a little on the couch. "I- um," he starts, and Will gives him a small nod. "I like boys," he chokes out, still staring right at Will.
Will freezes.

Summary
Mike shrugs, looking mildly uncomfortable. "Didn't seem important," he says, and Will's annoyance comes back in full force.
"Didn't seem- okay, well did you tell her that we weren't together?" he demands, fingers tightening around Mike's sleeve again.
"Yes!" Mike squawks, wrenching his arm out of Will's grip. He looks- not angry, per se, but definitely a little annoyed now. Confused at Will's reaction, maybe, and- yeah, Will knows he's being overdramatic, but Mike is being entirely too underdramatic about all this, and he thinks they should at least try to meet in the middle. "But I don't know what my parents think. And by the way, I'm not loving how offended you are by people thinking you're dating me."
Will pauses. "Hang on, that's not what I'm saying." He's thrilled by the concept, actually, but he knows he shouldn't be and Mike can't know that, can't know how bad he wants this, which is why Will's had to take a different route.

Summary
"I- shut up," Mike mumbles, turning back around and placing the potato firmly back with the others. "My point," he continues, and Will had not previously realized that he had a point to speak of but whatever, he can roll with it- "Is that it wouldn't matter. Because this is important to you, so it's important to me by proxy."
Oh.
"Oh," Will says aloud, a little stunned with the ease with which Mike says it, like it's just a fact and he doesn't even have to think about it. He's pretty sure his face is bright red right about now, and is proven right when Mike grins proudly and sticks a finger into his cheek.
"Oh," Mike echoes, bright and happy, and Will's blush deepens as Mike swoops in to press a kiss to his forehead.
or: the byers family is very committed to their traditions, and mike is very committed to will.

Summary
"So you- you haven't, like. Kissed anyone, then?" Mike asks, fully aware that he should probably just quit while he's ahead but needing to know, suddenly, if Will has any sort of romantic entanglements that he's neglected to tell Mike about. He's not sure why, but there's something in his gut that demands to know, has some sort of sudden need to know if Will has kissed anyone that's not him.
If Will has kissed anyone that's not-
Wait, what?
or: Mike is jealous of himself.

Summary
"Is Will your boyfriend?" Holly asks, and Mike immediately chokes on the lettuce in his mouth.
"Wh- what?" he gasps, dropping his fork and swallowing back the salad that suddenly feels like cement in his throat. Holly's looking at him with a strange expression, like she's trying to figure something out.
"Will. Is he your boyfriend?" she repeats, even though Mike very obviously heard her, and the question doesn't feel any less shocking the second time.
"No!" He yelps. "No, why would you think that?"
Holly shrugs, taking another bite of spaghetti like this is a normal conversation and she is not slowly killing him. "Nancy calls him your little boyfriend sometimes, and Mom says he's your person, which basically means the same thing, and you live together and act like a couple and unpack groceries together, and- I don't know. Seems like it could be a thing."

Summary
Mike breathes out sharply, sinking to his knees in front of Will without conscious thought. Every bone in his body is turning to jelly, because Will is here, but he's also- not. His form is made up of the same dusty gold that fills the air around him, flaking off him and dancing around. Mike wants to reach out and catch the light in his palm. Will looks not entirely solid, like this is some poor imitation of him rendered in light particles, like his physical form is somewhere else, and for a horrible moment Mike thinks that Will is a ghost after all. That this is an illusion, brought about by Mike's hopeless yearning. If it weren't for the pebbles digging sharply into his legs as he knees on the ground and the crisp chill of the spring air on his face, Mike would be sure he was dreaming, but he doesn't think he could dream up something so simultaneously as magical and horrifying as the specter of his maybe-dead friend hovering before him.
"Will," he whispers, reaching out until his fingers are centimeters from Will's arm, and Will's eyes fly open.
on march 29th, 1986, will byers vanishes for a second time. 366 days later, he reappears.

Summary
Will laughs. "It's just a kiss, Mike. C’mon, for the sake of the game."
His hand is on Mike's knee. Mike isn't sure when that happened, but now that he's noticed he can't think about anything else.
Nope. No. It is not just a kiss, and he cannot do this, and he will not stand for this at all, ever.
"I'm not gonna kiss you," he says, voice a little sharper than he intends it to be, and Will frowns.
"Mike, it's not a big deal, just kiss me-"
"No, Will, I can't-"
"God, Michael, you are so dramatic, just fucking kiss me already!"
"No!" Mike says, yanking himself away, Will's hand falling off of his leg as he stares at him in shock. "No," Mike repeats. "Not like this."based on a scene from new girl because my brain works that way i guess
