Summary
“You want us to foster a kid?” Mike finally asks, disbelieving. Will is half convinced that El will laugh in their faces, clearing up the misunderstanding with a, “No, silly. I want you to water my plants.”
“It doesn’t have to be forever,” El says. “Just until I can find another home for him. I can’t stand him living in the shelter anymore. Not right now. He needs emotional support. And don’t lie to me— I know you two have been wanting kids. This can be a trial run.”

Summary
Mike Wheeler has survived monsters, alternate dimensions and the literal end of the world.
Unfortunately, he has no idea how to survive Will Byers in New York; confident, teasing, and somehow making Mike's dick develop a mind of its own.
A list. A rating system. Zero self-control.
It's just an experiment.
Definitely not a way to avoid admitting he's in love with his best friend.
Or: Mike Wheeler gets hit with the world's worst gay panic, and Will Byers has been waiting years to enjoy the show.
