Summary
After a reckless action leads to the fall out of Mike and Will's friendship, they haven't spoken in years.
Will has built a stable, yet unfulfilling life in New York with his boyfriend, when he finally gets an out; a job offer for an art teaching position in Pennsylvania.
Meanwhile, unbeknownst to Will, Mike is living in the very city he is about to move to, teaching at the same school, whilst raising his five-year-old daughter alone.

Summary
Every Friday night, Mike Wheeler gives advice to strangers on his college radio show. When a caller asks what to do about their feelings for a friend, Mike tells them to test the waters. He never expects Will Byers, his best friend, roommate, and biggest weakness, to take that advice as well.

Summary
The first time it happens, Will classifies it as a little accident.
When he wakes, the morning sun is burning through the window onto their faces, and Mike’s cursing as he stands to close the curtains, stumbling all the way.
“Scoot over,” he grumbles, voice dry, and for a second Will can’t do anything other than sigh like a lovesick idiot. It’s a second too late for Mike, because he grumbles more words Will doesn’t catch under his breath and then physically pushes Will towards the wall to lay beside him, arm over Will’s middle. A second of silence passes, then Mike sighs, only to whine: “Fuck, my head hurts.”
Will can’t help it: he breaks down laughing, much to Mike’s offense.
---------------
Alternatively: five times Mike kissed Will, and one time Will kissed back.

Summary
“I wouldn’t be who I am without you… and… whatever happens next— I just need you to know that no matter what—” he said with a choked voice. “You’ll always be important to me.”
Whatever happens next... no matter what...
Will felt his soul slowly leaving his body.
Time seemed suspended, as if they were trapped in a parallel reality.
Then Will started to cry. A terrible cry, sobbing and heaving. The tears streamed down like a waterfall and he didn’t even try to stop them, he just lay there, in the arms of the man he loved and who, apparently, was preparing him for the inevitable end.
will thinks mike is preparing to leave him. mike is preparing to ask him to marry him. these turn out to be very different things, as you can imagine
