    Summary

    “What exactly does this pact entail, then?”

    Mike leans forward very seriously, bringing his face close to Will’s.

    “When they make it legal for you to get married, because they will.” He pauses, as if to make sure that Will is listening. Will laughs and nods for him to go on. “And if we’re both still alone and miserable—”

    “Wow. Is that the awesome future you’re painting for us on our last night?”

    “Shh.” Mike is doing a decent job at staying in character, but the crinkles around his eyes are giving him away. “If we’re both still alone by then… and at least partially miserable. That part’s important,” he continues dramatically, “I’ll marry the shit out of you, William Byers. Deal?”

    Or, before heading off to college, Mike and Will make a pact. Fifteen years later, gay marriage is legalized in the state of Massachusetts. These two events are intrinsically linked to one another.

    Summary

    The calls stopped first.

    Then the letters.

    Years later, Will is living in New York with his friends, making art, building a life, and finally trying to move on.

    Then he meets Miles.

    Or: Will Byers deserves good things, his friends won’t let him forget it, and everything gets a little more complicated when a handsome stranger walks into his life.

    Summary

    Anyways, the point is, Will thinks, that maybe his ghost roommate has escalated from small pranks and is actually now watching Will. Will supposes that's fine, but he does think that maybe it's a little perverted of the ghost to watch Will masturbate. Will trudges back into the house to wash his hands in the kitchen, crinkling his nose. He probably should be more upset about having a perverted ghost roommate, but sue him, he's lonely (and kind of horny).

    Will dries his hands off on an old dish towel and resigns himself to spending the rest of the afternoon on the couch, lounging around and flipping through channels on the staticky box TV.

    Maybe his perverted ghost roommate likes The X-Files too.

    In which Will thinks that his house is haunted (and he's right).

    Summary

    "Do you seriously just let him control you like that all the time? You're not his fucking dog, dude."

    Max calls it control.
    Will calls it trust.

    Because it's not just that Mike takes care of him.
    It's that Will starts to lean into it, he craves it.

    And when he realizes Mike needs it just as much, needs to be praised, to be relied on, to be everything... Will decides to stop resisting.

    After all, if Mike wants to take care of him...
    who is Will to say no?

    OR

    After nearly a year of living together, Mike and Will somehow stumble into a full-blown dom/sub dynamic before they so much as kiss or admit they're in love.

    Summary

    Or:

    Mike and Will start talking dirty to each other for fun. What they don't consider is that it would accidentally turn them on.
