Summary
“Nah, man,” Lucas shakes his head, leaning back as he snacks on an apple, “he got, like, buff. Do you see his arms?”
Mike does, in fact, see Will’s arms. He has not stopped seeing his arms.
“She definitely sees his arms,” Dustin very unhelpfully points out, waggling his eyebrows, and Mike gets the overwhelming urge to bash his own head in.While volunteering at the Hawkins' help center, it seems like every girl around has a newfound interest in Will Byers, and Mike doesn't know why he feels the way he does.

Summary
It’s winter in Hawkins, and Mike and Will aren’t speaking anymore. Living in Mike’s house, Will tries to be invisible, spending most of his time in the basement.
Then the power goes out — and if there’s one thing he dreads more than facing Mike, it’s the cold.
or
Seven nights in which Mike and Will have to sleep in the same bed, even though they’re barely friends anymore.

Summary
“Wow,” Will breathes out, just on this edge of teasing. “You sound very confident about this.”
“Well,” Mike shrugs, swallowing hard in a desperate attempt to soothe his very, very dry mouth, “I don’t know why someone wouldn’t be interested in you.”
“Oh?” Will says, and it’s definitely teasing now, enough for Mike to feel himself turning warm, all down his neck and to the tips of his own – sadly unpatterned – socks. “Someone?”
“Yeah.” Mike nods. Oh, god. This is fine. “In a very arbitrary sense of the word. Just– people. Someone.”
Mike is approximately ninety-eight percent sure that his feelings are requited. That last two percent, however, has really been throwing him for a loop.

“Are you offended that people think we’re dating?”
“No,” Mike says immediately. “Of course not,” because, again, he should be so lucky.
Will’s baffled expression does not change. “Then why would I be?”
“So– okay, fine, whatever. Should we, like, tell them to get their heads out of their asses and that we’re not– um– dating, or–”
“I think,” Will cuts in, “well. You know what would be funny?”
Honestly, Mike doesn't know what he thought being Will Byers' fake-boyfriend would entail, but he definitely didn't think it would involve this many ugly Christmas sweaters.

Summary
It’s the end of the world, sure, but Will Byers has more pressing matters: mainly, that his family is bunking with the Wheelers for the foreseeable future. The situation should theoretically be fun, but instead, each second Will spends around Mike draws him further into his own scrawled-out, screwed-up crush. And while Will thinks Mike can’t tell, the only Wheeler boy is finally starting to think about—or even think through—his own feelings.
Or: making out...while the world collapses
Excerpt:
Reaching his hands up, he rests a palm on my arm, fingers gripping my shoulder. Almost immediately, my anger dissipates with a sharp intake of breath. All I can focus on is his hand on my body, the way his eyes look down into mine. His smell, musk and pine and something else that I can’t quite put my finger on.
“Will.” His voice is velvet. It slips through me, over me, settling into my body with an achingly familiar comfort. He’s close enough that if I wanted to, I could twist my fingers into his jumper. Pull him towards me with the fabric and grab onto his wrist.
“Will, I can’t.” His voice cracks and his eyes look up, searching mine. “I can’t lose you again.”
