Summary
There’s a smile on Mike’s face and a backpack slung over his shoulder when Will pulls open the door. “Hey, sorry I took so long today,” he looks Will up and down and smiles even brighter. “You look really cute.”
His cheeks heat up instantly. “Shut up,” he says back, but there’s no real bite to it. Mike steps inside and uses his free hand to cup Will’s chin, tilting his face upward before pressing forward to catch Will’s lips with his. It’s short and sweet, he can’t stop himself from grinning like an idiot, and Will loves his boyfriend.
or: Will is having a bad day, and Mike knows just how to make it better.

Summary
"Right now," Mike continued, "I want my best friend back. I'm sorry I made you feel like you couldn't be honest with me. I was a dick," Mike laughed dryly. "If you really mean it, if you really meant what you said, then thank you. There's a lot going on right now. I'm scared. We're all scared. And I don't want any of us to do it alone."
He finally looks at Mike, and he's so close, and Will mentally slaps himself when he glances down at Mike's lips. He's certain he's lost his mind when he sees Mike do the same.
"We need you," Mike says. His gaze softens, and his voice lowers. "I need you, Will."
Or: It's Will's birthday, and all he wants is to figure out why Mike is acting so weird.

Summary
Will winces, and he finally manages to look back up, meeting the man’s eyes. “Rough first date?” he guesses.
The stupidly gorgeous guy groans, burying his head in his hands. “Was it that obvious?” he asks pitifully. “I’ve been trying to escape all night. Marianne is insane. I’m actually scared.”
Or:
Five times Will witnesses Mike on a failed first date, plus one time Will and Mike go on a first date.

Summary
Michael stepped closer to Will, until he was nearly pressed against his side. He looked at him, head tilted down to meet his gaze. His boots made him taller, making the height difference he and Mike shared even more pronounced. Will shivered when he felt a hand press against his lower back.
“My choices are yours, my prince. If you would like me to distance myself, I will do so without hesitation. Would you like that?”
Will stared, mouth agape. Michael’s eyes were boring into his soul. Mike had never looked at him like that, and it was doing things to him. Slowly, he shook his head.
Michael smirked, looking pleased.
“Hey,” Mike snapped. “I said back off, okay?”When an alternate version of Mike, a strong, confident knight, appears in Hawkins, the Party attempts to help him get home, and Will attempts to survive his flirting.

Summary
“Why are you touching him? You don’t own him.”
Will dropped his head into his hands. “Mike, oh my god—”
Paladin Mike’s jaw tightened. “I do not own him,” he said immediately. “He is—” He stopped, swallowing. His eyes went back to Will softening, and that softness made Mike hate him even more. He could recognize the look, and saw it mirrored in his own eyes countless times.
[...]
“He is the Light. By your oath, I am bound to him. My liege.” He bowed his head slightly toward Will, his mouth wrapped around the word like it was a prayer. “My cleric.” He said after, softer.
“Oh my god.” Will flushed, impossibly. “That is crazy. He is actually crazy."
Max, who had been standing with her arms crossed behind them, muttered, “Jesus Christ,” under her breath.
Mike Wheeler is going to explode, because there is an alternate, armoured version of him, following Will Byers around like he belonged to him.

Summary
“That’s not my favorite.”
“Oh.” Will blinks. “What is?”
Mike’s tongue darts out to wet his lower lip. “O negative.” Will feels a flush move across his entire body. His magic hums inside of him, excited. His fingers twitch against the carton. Maybe Will was wrong, maybe this is different than having a favorite kind of pizza. More personal. O negative sits differently in Will’s head than double black olives with extra cheese does. More intimate.
“Oh.” Will blinks again. And maybe O negative sits differently in Will’s head, because it also flows through his veins. He feels obligated to tell Mike. “I’m O negative.”
Mike’s pupils widen again. “I know.” His voice is low, gravelly.
Will’s breath hitches again. “You know?” He flinches when Mike’s fingers graze his, peeling the carton out of Will’s hand.
Mike takes a deep breath. “I can smell it.”
Or, five times that Will offered Mike his blood and the one time that Mike accepted.

Summary
“Hi,” Mike called out faintly, without moving.
“Jesus.” Will’s voice was relieved. His footsteps drew closer. “Why didn’t you bring your walkie? Everyone’s been—oh.” He was beside him now, silhouetted in the moonlight. “Mike.”
“Hm?” Mike closed his eyes. He knew the face Will was making right now without having to actually see it—eyes wide, lips parted. Worried.
Will knelt beside him in the leaves. “When’s the last time you fed?”
“I don’t…” Mike cracked an eye open. Will was too pretty to lie to. “Yesterday afternoon, I think.”
“Okay,” Will said. His voice was tight. “It’s gonna be okay.”
A few moments passed. Will put the back of his hand to Mike’s forehead, and Mike leaned into the touch. This wasn’t so bad, really. He was weak, and everything ached, but at least Will was here.
“Hey,” Will said, breaking the silence. “Feed from me.”
