Summary
Sir Michael assesses them both. He seems to accept whatever he finds, nodding slowly. “I see. My apologies, I have gotten ahead of myself. For how long have you two been courting, then?”
Someone chokes behind them, and for a long moment, Mike honestly thinks he's misheard him. The look on his face is dead serious, though, stoic in a way that makes it very clear he's not joking.
“What?” he croaks. He looks over at Will, who looks just as caught off guard as he feels.
“You need not be shy,” Michael reassures them, back straightening. “I, too, was hesitant when William and I first began our courtship. I understand.”
When Mike's doppelganger shows up dressed like something straight out of one of their D&D campaigns, he thinks he should be thrilled. There are alternate universes. There are alternate universes with knights and wizards and dragons. And, honestly, Mike probably would be thrilled, under normal circumstances. The guy is just so weird about him and Will.

Summary
Mike’s mouth is warm.
Warm, and a little chapped, and pressing against his with an uncertainty that makes something in Will’s chest ache. He should pull away. He knows this. He knows it in the same way he knows not to touch a hot stove, not to stare too long, not to let himself imagine impossible things. His body seems uninterested in logic, though, and he supposes he can’t blame himself, not really.
Mike shifts slightly, trying to figure out what to do with his limbs. His lips move against Will’s with more intention, and Will’s breath stutters out of him in a way that is deeply embarrassing and entirely involuntary.
Oh, his brain supplies unhelpfully.
It’s something he’s imagined countless times before, kissing Mike Wheeler. He imagines it so often, in fact, that he cannot even recall the first time he imagined it. It’s an ever-present fantasy, always lurking in the back of his mind.
And yet, despite his thorough experience in imagining this moment, he somehow never imagined it quite like this.
Or: Five times it doesn't mean anything, and one time it finally does.

Summary
“Is it cause you used to have a crush on me?” Mike asked, abruptly.
“What!” It was Will’s turn to blush harder, giving him a glare reserved for Mike Wheeler and Mike Wheeler only. “No. God. That was ages ago. I’ve been past that for a long time.”
Mike motioned like he’d made his point. “See? So? It wouldn’t be weird.”
So, Mike likes guys. Fine, Will can live with that. Except now Mike's worried about having fallen behind and would really like some help practicing how to kiss a guy from his also-into-guys best friend. And Will is trying really, really hard to be a good mentor to him, so what is he going to do, say no?

Summary
“Hey, hey, it’s Mike. Um, sorry, is — is Will there?”
There is no answer for a minute, drawn out so long that Mike almost thinks the call somehow disconnected despite the lack of a dial tone. He pulls the phone away from his face, looks at it as if that’ll give him any clarity on the matter, and lifts it back to his ear. “Hel—“
“Uh,” Jonathan finally says, somehow more awkward than Mike, “It is Will.”
Mike nearly drops the fucking phone.
Five times Mike and Will shared a phone call throughout the years, plus one time they didn't have to.

Summary
Mike nods solemnly. “This isn’t my first rodeo,” he says.
“No,” Will agrees, letting out a little laugh, “it’s – what, your third today?”
“Aw, you remembered,” Mike says, his hand coming up to rest on his chest, right over his heart.
“You’re hard to forget,” Will replies, and before Mike even has the opportunity to feel some type of way over that comment, Will continues, “or, more accurately — your guests are hard to forget.”
“Right,” Mike says quickly, not at all petulantly, because of course that’s what Will meant. That’s what they’re here for, after all — their guests. Not whatever sick satisfaction Mike gets from having to come in here every forty some-odd minutes, tail between his legs, to bother Will into doing his dirty work.
Mike has had a rollercoaster of a day. All he wants is a nap.

Summary
“Okay. So, we’ll need someone willing to model for the photo shoot.”
Will freezes for half a second. His mind, traitor that it always was, already sprints ahead of him. Someone tall enough to wear armour, someone who already has a set of armour in his damn closet. Someone patient and willing enough to stand around, someone who looks good in fake blood. Someone who looks brave after being wounded and perfectly prepossessing even after the fog of war. Even after being brutalised, corrupted, eyes made wild with the mess of taking a life.
His new partner tilts her head. “You wouldn’t happen to know anyone who’d be up for that, would you?”
Will blinks at her, opens his mouth, closes it again. Then: “...Yeah,” he says, because lying has never been one of his strong suits.
He absolutely does.
aka will has an art project involving fake blood, and mike can't stop thinking about it.

Summary
“William?” he says, tentative, like he’s testing the name, unsure if it still belongs to the same person.
Will swallows hard. “Yes,” he manages, voice embarrassingly quiet.
That is Mike, the boy his brother met in college, the one that will be staying with them for a while.
The one Will never thought could become a beautiful man.
“Wow,” Mike says softly. “It’s been… a long time.”
Will nods, unable to stop staring at him.
or; at twenty-one, Will Byers thinks he’s finally learned how to live without wanting the wrong things. Then Mike Wheeler comes back into his life, he is older and dangerously his type.

Summary
Will takes a moment, hands clenched into fists at his sides, to rest his head against the grain of the wood and close his eyes. Here, with the solid weight of the door to ground him, he evaluates the facts: the war is over, Vecna dead and gone for good this time. Max is awake, reunited with Lucas and El at last, who both rushed to return to their places at her bedside the moment they knew. The rest of his family is upstairs, the rest of his friends alongside them, alive and mostly well and rejoicing in the fact that a years-long nightmare has finally reached its conclusion. It’s a night for togetherness, for celebrating hard-earned victories, for finally looking ahead instead of back over their shoulders.
It’s also a night where Will almost killed Mike.
In the midst of their final stand against Vecna, a possessed Will nearly strangles Mike to death. In the basement bathroom of the Wheeler's house after their victory, Mike and Will confront the aftermath.

Summary
“Will,” Mike starts.
“No, seriously,” Will says. The hand that isn’t holding his beer raises between them, twitching downwards like he’s physically shoving any of Mike’s other questions back down where they came from. “It was a stupid thing to ask.”
Mike shakes his head, then scoots forward, inching closer to Will. “It’s not,” he insists. “If it’s you asking, it’s not stupid, Will.”
On New Year's Eve, 1996, Will asks Mike a question. He gets an answer and then some.

Summary
Mike grabs Will’s hands and tangles them with his own, blinking up at him through his long, dark lashes. His eyes are endless. Solid black, like the night above them. So shiny that Will can see himself, tipsy and happy, in the reflection. “I want to be stuck with you,” Mike whispers, like it’s a secret. “I don’t ever want to leave.”
Will sucks in a sharp breath, squeezing his hands. “Then don’t,” he whispers back, punched-out and honest. “Stay.”

Senior year in Hawkins. Will and Mike figure some things out.
