Summary
"For a moment that lingers and echoes inside Will like a fever, they hold each other.
Will feels Mike’s body pressed tight against his. A nose tucked into his neck, curls brushing his chin, arms wrapped around him, fingers clutching the fabric of his T-shirt.
He is grateful to be the one holding Mike like this, to be someone he can find comfort in. He forces himself not to think about anything beyond that. He is grateful for the small mercy of being someone Mike needs."or
Set against Will’s new, shining life in New York, where he convinces himself the best thing he can do for Mike is stay close and help him heal, loving him in silence while moving forward as best as he can. But while Will waits with quiet patience, Mike has spent years feeding something far less gentle, an obsession, a dependence, a devotion sharpened by longing, jealousy and need, all of it threatening to spill over at any moment.

we all have a hunger (tell me what you need) by papenathy

Summary
“Looks like I bit you.” Will tilts his head to get a better look. All Mike can do is stare at him. His fluffy hair at the front, clumped pieces at the back where he’d slid his fingers in a mere few minutes before. His pretty green eyes that look hazel or even brown in this light, the dark circles he gets when he drinks framing them like intricate paintings. A satisfied, bloody smile.
Mike isn’t satisfied. He swallows thickly, choking down the words 'don’t you want more?'
Or: Will dresses as a vampire for a college halloween party, but Mike thinks his costume isn’t bloody enough. Will lets him fix it. Mike goes into a crisis.

Summary
In the summer of 1989, the Byers family moves to Montauk, cutting short Mike and Will's last summer together before college. Certain he'll never see his friend again, Will confesses his love on their last night together, rocking Mike's world entirely. As the tear-filled goodbyes draw to a close, however, Mike is suddenly offered the unexpected opportunity to travel with the Byers family and help them move.
They have five days out of state together to address Will's confession, learn to communicate, and maybe, just maybe, say a few things they should have said all along.

Summary
“Just saying, if you’re taking another hit, you should share it with me,” Mike says, and Will slowly tilts his head, drinking in every word. “It just makes sense. Like, mathematically.”
Will’s reddened eyes narrow, bewildered. “Mathematically?”
“If there’s two hits left, we’d each only get one,” Mike explains. “But if we shotgunned, we’d both get two.” God, this is the best idea he’s had in ages. He should’ve stolen Will’s weed, like, months ago. “That’s like, bang for your buck. This is simple math, Will Byers. Keep up.”
In which it’s well past midnight in New York, Will can’t sleep, and Mike feels like they barely know each other anymore.
So, they get a little high. Mike is very normal about all of it.

Summary
Mike remembered flushing and puffing proudly at those words. That’s right, he had earned the right to Will’s nests. He had worked hard for it. He liked being the only one that could have access to the nest without asking. It was theirs, their own thing.
Now, looking at his best friend laughing and joking across the table, he wondered if he still had something to be proud of.
Or: Mike never had to think twice before entering Will’s nest. It changed as they grew up, but Mike was determined to make everything right again.
