Summary
"You don't drink," Mike reminds him, his breath warm against Will's neck once again.
"Don't like it," Will mumbles thickly. "It just makes me sick."
"And weed doesn't affect you either," Mike continues in an odd tone. Will doesn't understand where this is going. Does it matter right now?
"Yeah. Rea... really sad," he mutters. He doesn't know what else to say. He just wants Mike to keep touching him. Or let him go. The air around his face feels hotter somehow, and his T-shirt is bunched awkwardly beneath his chest.
"And you're an incredibly light sleeper," Mike says, his voice so close that each word brushes the back of Will's neck.
Or:
Mike is determined to figure out how certain smells affect Will.Series

Summary
Soon, Will would leave for New York. Mike trusted that the distance wouldn’t cause them to drift apart, but he highly doubted it would bring them closer together. He would never have an opportunity as perfect as the one he had now. One week. No distractions. No excuses.
Florida was his last chance.
OR
In the summer of ‘89, Will is invited on a Wheeler family vacation to Florida. Mike is determined to make the most of their time together…

Summary
Will smiled back, soft and sweet, like he always was. It was, all in all, the same smile Mike had grown up knowing as well as his own reflection. It was Will's teeth peeking through the slight pull of his chapped lips, and Will's skin wrinkling near his eyes. Mike would know Will's smile anywhere.
Only, that wasn't his smile.
Because that wasn't Will.
"Follow me?" Will asked, and one yellow ray of sunlight punctured the fog, illuminating the tufts of his mud-spattered hair like a halo. It was fitting. If the rest of the town thought Will was the devil, he'd always been an angel to Mike.
And for the life of him, Mike couldn’t remember what it was he’d been so worried about just a second ago.
"Yeah," he answered, treading behind Will and headed for the woods. "Always."
It's the summer of 1987, the town is under lockdown, the people are panicking and praying, and they've pinpointed Will as the one to blame for it all. In fact, nearly everyone seems a little afraid of Will these days, except for Mike.
(Or: Following a desperate ritual to cast the devil out of Hawkins, Will starts acting strangely. Mike starts having dreams.)

Summary
"What exactly are you calling for, Nancy?"
There was a moment of silence before she continued. "I'm living in Paris—for work. I can't… they won't let him leave the country, and I can't move back fast enough for it to matter."
Will felt his face pale. "What about your parents?"
"They don't want anything to do with him, not after—"
"Yeah, I heard. What about…"
"Will, there's no one else. I've tried."
"Nancy, I can't… I can't just—"
"Please. I wouldn't be asking if there was another option."
Will bit the inside of his cheek. "Okay."
Or: Mike is on house arrest for 6 months and has no choice but to stay with Will, even though they haven't spoken in two years.
