    Summary

    "I know stalker was mine." Max poked Lucas in the ribs with her finger, making him yelp. Then she waved her hand at Mike and El. "And Mike and El were each other's first kiss. So I had to ask you, Dustin."

    "El wasn't my first kiss."

    For a second, Mike couldn't believe he'd said it. But he had. Five pairs of eyes swiveled to him, including his ex-girlfriend and his crush slash best friend.

    --

    aka the one where Mike accidentally admits to the Party that El wasn't his first kiss, it was Will. Title from Mine by Taylor Swift since I wrote this whole thing just listening to Speak Now.

    Summary

    He knows, it’s all his fault. He knows. But there are tears stinging in his eyes and he calls Will again, because how the hell is he supposed to figure this out on his own? He calls again, and again, and again, and again, until Will picks up.

    “Mike. Let it go. It’s almost morning, you should sleep. Why can’t you do as I ask and not call me?”

    Mike swallows, voice coming out as a pathetic croak, “Will. Will, I can’t lose you. I can't-” The tears that have been burning in his eyes impatiently, finally roll down his cheeks in fat, slow, drops.

    -

    Will needs time away from Mike, time to focus on college and time to get over his unrequited feelings. For the first time, Mike is not the one to push Will away and he cannot stand the feeling. He ends up calling Will, even though he asked him not to, desperate to get him back. It's not too late, is it?

    inspired by "I'm Not In Love" (10cc) lyrics!!

    Summary

    Will’s eyes are still fixed on the broken bulb. Mike senses his apprehension, and he pokes a finger to Will’s cheek. “Come on,” he drones, turning Will’s head to face him, “it’s cute!”

    “It’s embarrassing,” Will groans, head plunging to Mike’s shoulder.

    And — okay. Maybe it’s a little embarrassing, sure, having to explain to the Melvald’s guy why he needs a new light bulb every two and a half weeks, but Will Byers, Mike’s boyfriend — Mike’s boyfriend! — has superpowers, and that's a marvel in and of itself.

    Mike never thought that dating Will Byers would result in this many blown fuses.

    Summary

    Mike buries his face in Will’s stomach, hugging his waist. “Please, please, please.” 

    Vulnerable to the point he lets himself indulge in physical contact he has never dared to do before. 

    Will puts his hand on the back of Mike’s head, patting his head gently. He is astonished, lips falling open, he tries to register what is fully going on. 

    Mike Wheeler on his knees, begging and crying for him to give him a chance—as Max intended. 

    Holy shit, crying on his knees.

    Summary

    “Lucas,” Mike starts, already getting angry at the possibility the rest of his answer is putting in the air. “Would you date him?”

    Will adjusts his position so he can sit cross legged while facing his boyfriend.

    Will shrugs, a gentle smile on his face, “I mean, he’s pretty hot.”

    The teasing edge in Will’s voice isn’t enough to keep Mike’s eye away from twitching.
