Summary
“And why come back when so many are leaving Hawkins?”
Will slowed without meaning to. The leaves under his shoes crackled. “I–”
What should he tell this stranger that wouldn’t reveal the fact that his sister had superpowers and might actually be the only key to save this entire town from a monstrous maniac?
“Well, everyone I know is here,” he murmured. “I couldn’t… just leave them.”
The man hummed softly, then he lifted his head to scan over the woods, a faint whistle came from his lips, before his gaze landed onto Will again.
“Maybe something here wanted you back.”

Summary
Those protective instincts kick in and Mike can’t help himself as a crazy, irrational idea takes root in his mind.
An idea that has absolutely nothing to do with seeing Will practically naked in a speedo two nights a week for an entire year. Nope. Definitely not.
“What if I joined the team with you?” Mike blurts, reddening.
Or:
Will and Mike join the Hawkins High swim team in their senior year, spend waaaay too much time together in teeny tiny speedos and one thing leads to another at the pool…
Setting: Post Vecna-defeat (except El lives because she deserves a better ending, just like our boys do), their final year of high school but I’m aging them up to 18 because the content is explicit. (I head canon that the total devastation of Hawkins resulted in their normal high school trajectory getting delayed because that makes more sense than what the Duffers did.)

Summary
Will Byers is a young struggling artist working for a small company that designs custom book covers. Quiet, gentle, and far too obedient for his own good, he takes low-paying commissions just to survive another month in New York City. He doesn’t expect much from life — until he gets assigned a project connected to the most powerful man in the publishing industry.
Mike Wheeler is untouchable. A feared publishing CEO who holds the entire city in his grip, he is cold, controlling, and used to getting exactly what he wants. And the moment he notices Will, he decides he wants more than just his art.
What starts as a professional opportunity quickly turns into something far more dangerous. Mike wants Will to be his submissive — always close, obedient, and entirely his — while Will finds it harder and harder to resist the attention of a man who could either destroy him or become the only person who truly sees him.

Summary
“You should do it,” Will repeats, this time with a shrug. “She’s right, you could always stay with me if you needed to, but I really don’t think anything’ll happen. And your dad is cutting off your access to his card when we move out of Hawkins in September anyway, so you might as well use it for the fun stuff while you can, right? Like, really, what’s he gonna do? Cut you off a few months early?”
“The fun stuff,” Mike slowly repeats, feeling, suddenly, like he’s going to pass out. “Like buying lube?”
Will’s face flushes a bit as he looks away, shrugging again, this time a bit more clunky with it. “Like things that are fun,” he murmurs. “Which, I mean, lube is what we’re talking about right now, so… yeah.”
or: following their college graduations, the party decide to have one last hawkins summer before starting their "real" adult lives. mike and will start a game that pushes past every boundary they've maintained for years.

Spill or Sip and Truth, Dare, or Strip.

Summary
“What the fuck do you want, Mike?” He snapped. Will might as well have whipped him with a belt. Mike jolted with shock, a stunned expression writing across his face.
“What-what do you mean?”
“I mean, what are you doing here? Why the fuck are you in New York? What could have possibly possessed you to come here?” Will spat with venom. He knew he wasn’t being fair, but it was uncontrollable. The hurt expression on Mike’s face was making him even more aggravated. If anyone had the right to feel hurt, it was Will.
After Will left for school, he gave Mike distance to grieve. He figured that whenever Mike felt like bridging that gap again, he would reach out.
He hadn’t attempted it once in the past two years.

Summary
“No, Robin, you don’t get it. I’ve known those boys basically their entire lives, Mike is not Will’s Tammy. It’s just, like—” he huffed, frustrated now. “It’s not even a comparable situation.”
Robin didn’t seem to get it. “Sure it is! Mike’s straight, and Will’s crush on him is what helped him to come to terms with his feelings. It’s a completely comparable situation.”
Steve grabbed his keys from the dish next to the front door and started shoving on his shoes without a second thought.
“Where are you going?” Robin asked, gesturing back to The Price is Right on the TV. “This isn’t even a re-run!”
“There are more important things than the big showcase right now, Robin. You’ve led little Byers completely astray here, and I’ve gotta go fix it.”
OR

Summary
“Do you think,” Will whispers, his voice so low that it is barely audible in the little space carved between them, “it's going to last?”
Mike frowns. “What?”
“The pain of loving you.”
The words land between them like shattered glass. Mike stops breathing, his eyes taking on a haunted look. For a moment he looks like he might speak —his mouth even opens slightly— but the words never come.
Drunk out of his mind at Stacey’s party, Will is forced to confront the truth he’s been running from: Mike is not his Tammy. Only this time, Mike is there to deal with the aftermath.
