    Summary

    "I mean, friends kiss, right? Max and El do it all the time." Mike said, his gaze bouncing across Will's features frantically as if he was looking for his next line somewhere between the freckles that lay on the bridge of Will's nose. Will tried to ignore just how often Mike's eyes fell down onto Will's spit-slicked lips.
    Will wasn't sure if they were going to overlook the fact that Max and El have actually been dating for almost a year now. But Mike didn't mention it, so neither did Will. Instead, Will inched his face a little closer, so close that their noses brushed and he could practically feel the heat radiating off of Mike's flushed cheeks.
    "Yeah, friends kiss," Will said simply.
    "Yeah?" Mike asked.
    "Yeah," Will confirmed. Mike nodded, almost dumbly. His eyes stayed steady on Will's lips now.
    "Okay." Mike shuddered.
    "Okay," Will whispered.

    They kissed again.

    Logline: While home alone in Mike's bedroom, Will and Mike realize just how much they've been hiding from each other and themselves. Who knew their deepest secrets were hidden behind their lips and beneath their clothes?

    Summary

    "Tell me a secret?"

    Mike asks, like he's come to do every day, late at night, when the darkness can swallow the guilt and the regret rushing out of their hearts, when their sides press together, the floor long forgotten, ever since the first Will, please, come up here.

    Will is a terrible person.

    I'm in love with you. I'm having visions. I'm in love with you. I'm not really having nightmares, Vecna is tempting me with a version of you that loves me back. I'm in love with you.

    "I think my death is the easiest solution to everything. The Upside Down will die with me."

    Will can hear Mike swallow next to him.

    "Will, I would let the world burn down to ashes if it meant keeping you in it."

    or

    They're back in Hawkins, everything is the way it's always been, except - yeah, it's still the middle of an apocalypse, Will is having nosebleeds and Mike would sacrifice the world for his best friend but is still losing him.

    Summary

    What did he think, really?

    What did he hope to find in the arms of a Mike Wheeler who's suddenly comfortable enough to go to gay bars in New York? That he was just going to have sex with his first love, who's gotten even prettier than he was six years ago and realise, oh, actually yeah I'm definitely over you?

    Yes. Yes, that was what he'd hoped. That's exactly why he'd taken Mike up on the offer, goddammit.

    But he can't face palm hard enough to leave a mark right now, because as he mentioned before, Mike is naked, lying on top of him, gently kissing up and down his neck, still warm and sticky inside him. He can't face palm, because he was wrong, and being wrong has never felt so right.

    aka after the best hook up he's ever had, will tries to convince himself that mike is still a jerk. mike proves him wrong with aftercare and a surprising confession

    Summary

    “I need like– actionable steps. ‘Act normal’ is too vague.”

    Will sighs and reaches over to turn the radio down even quieter.

    “Ok for one, stop staring at my mouth,” Will says.

    Mike glances over at him automatically.

    Will laughs. “See? That’s exactly what I mean. You’ve been doing it for years, but now it’s like…it’s a lot, Mike. People are gonna notice.”

    “But I wanna kiss you,” Mike whines.

    It’s been a week since Mike and Will got together – one blissful week, like a honeymoon before the wedding. Now they’re in Montauk for Joyce and Hopper’s, surrounded by friends and family, and trying to fly under the radar. Somewhere along the way, Mike realizes he doesn’t want to hide anymore.

    Or, two horny idiots in love struggle to keep their relationship hidden.

    Summary

    “Why does it even matter?”

    “It matters because you lied.”

    “About a stupid painting?”

    “It’s not stupid to me!"

    “Mike! What do you want from me!” The question is desperate and so loud, it fills the entire room, knocking the fight out of them both. Will’s eyes brim with tears.

    It's the last night of his trip visiting Will at NYU and Mike finds something curious in a sketchbook. Before he can face what it might mean for him, he has to find out what it meant (or means) for Will.
