Summary
Nobody expects it to be Mike.
Everyone is expecting it to be Max or Nancy, who both have already been targeted. Or maybe El, whose childhood in Hawkins Lab makes her the perfect target. Or Will, who has gone through more than enough trauma in the past three years alone for all of them.
Nobody expects it to be Mike.
Or, the one in which it's Mike, not Will, who Vecna targets.

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
“Are you offended that people think we’re dating?”
“No,” Mike says immediately. “Of course not,” because, again, he should be so lucky.
Will’s baffled expression does not change. “Then why would I be?”
“So– okay, fine, whatever. Should we, like, tell them to get their heads out of their asses and that we’re not– um– dating, or–”
“I think,” Will cuts in, “well. You know what would be funny?”
Honestly, Mike doesn't know what he thought being Will Byers' fake-boyfriend would entail, but he definitely didn't think it would involve this many ugly Christmas sweaters.

Summary
After dating El for three years, it should feel right – she’s his first love, just as he is hers. The problem is, every time Mike’s eyes meet Will’s, he realizes just how badly he wants him, instead. Suddenly, everything he's been doing for the past three years feels utterly and completely wrong.

Summary
“You should go back to sleep”, Mike mutters, but Will’s eyes are already flying over his face, and he is probably taking in the embarrassing number of tears, and the sweaty hair sticking onto his forehead and—
“You’re bleeding”, Will whispers, and then, as if the realization strikes just now as he says it out loud, his voice increases in volume, but shakes harder all the more, “Mike, there’s— there’s blood pouring from your mouth.”
Mike would have been perfectly content with never exploring the depth of his repressed feelings, if it wasn't for the deadly flowers blooming in his lungs.
