    Summary

    Mike took a step. Then another. Stopping too close for strangers, too far for friends. “About what you said—”

    “It’s okay, really, Mike.” Will’s voice was flat, practiced. He looked at Mike’s chin, his shoulder, anywhere but his eyes. “Now’s not the time. I just needed… for it to stop being a secret anymore.”

    “No, I meant—” Mike’s breath hitched. He was searching, his gaze darting over Will’s face. “I meant about Tammy.”

    “Yea…?” Will’s throat was tight.

    Mike’s question was a whisper, a detonation in the small space. “Am I your Tammy?”

    Summary

    At first, Mike was unsure how to approach him when he got like this. But they’ve been living together for months now, never further than five feet apart in their dorm beds, so Mike’s learned what works and what doesn’t.

    It works when he wakes Will like this, with gentle hands and words, telling him he’s safe. It works when he climbs into Will’s warm bed, turning him on his side and curling up against his back, an arm over his waist and his cheek pressed against his shoulder. They lie together like that until Will’s hiccupping gasps soften into steady breaths, until Mike feels him go limp in his arms and he knows he’s fallen back asleep. It always works.

    or: Will has nightmares and Mike is the only one who can console him. Not even Will's boyfriend can. Mike takes great pride in this fact.

    Summary

    It’s winter in Hawkins, and Mike and Will aren’t speaking anymore. Living in Mike’s house, Will tries to be invisible, spending most of his time in the basement.

    Then the power goes out — and if there’s one thing he dreads more than facing Mike, it’s the cold.

    or

    Seven nights in which Mike and Will have to sleep in the same bed, even though they’re barely friends anymore.
