    Summary

    Will bites his lip and nods, looking down at his shoes again so Richie won't see how hard he's holding back a giddy smile.

    Everybody in the party knows everything about him. Maybe it wouldn't be the worst thing to keep a secret from Mike for a little while. 

    It's kind of exciting. Sneaking in a boy Mike hates.

    Will shakes his head, trying to clear Mike from it for the night. Only when he looks back up at Richie, Richie has this conspiratorial smile on his face, like maybe Will isn't the only one eager to piss off Mike Wheeler. 

    OR: the concept of Richie Tozier being Will Byers' dirty little secret and Mike Wheeler being so jealous he can't breathe. Byler endgame.

    Summary

    In this very moment he feels nothing but regret, and as the demogorgon’s claw looms over his body, he wishes more than anything that he hadn’t been such a coward, that he had asked Will about the painting, or that he had sent letters when he was in California, or that he had done anything about the strange, all-consuming feeling that he tried to suppress whenever he thought about his best friend, about the way light made his hazel eyes look so deep, about his lips…

    But now he was gonna die, knowing that he never had the chance to do anything about it because he was too scared, too unsure, too late.

    But no deathblow came, no pain, no cracking of bones; and suddenly time stopped. And that’s when Mike saw him; his best friend in the entire world, the boy that changed his life and made it brighter, the boy that he had a connection with like no other, the boy that deserved the world and got hell, standing there with his arms outstretched, eyes white like milk, shaking, looking into the demogorgon’s back as if trying to obliterate it with just a stare.

    or

    Mike gets a second chance at life, accidentally kisses Will, and now has to come face-to-face with his repressed feelings for his best friend.

    Summary

    Being best friends with Richie Tozier isn’t easy. He’s loud, inappropriate, and somehow manages to get under Eddie's skin without even trying. Eddie’s life is full of rules, hygiene, safety, boundaries. Yet, somehow, they're still best friends.

    So, Eddie being Eddie, makes a rulebook. For 'safety'. And one of the most important rules in this book are;

    "Don’t kiss Richie Tozier. Ever."

    But rules are hard to enforce when Richie’s jokes are too loud, his hands are too close, and his presence is impossible to ignore. As the Losers Club teases them about their “tension,” Eddie finds himself constantly battling his feelings, rewriting his rulebook, and trying not to admit that maybe…just maybe- Richie was an exception.

    Summary

    “How long are you in town for?”

    He sighed, a bit dramatically. “Well, technically for a few days. But my mom doesn’t have any room for me, so I dunno where I’m gonna actually stay. I don’t really have the money for a hotel or anything, so I’m probably just going to sleep in my car and just stay another night.”

    Will fiddled with his shirt sleeve, the same way he did as a kid when trying to make a decision about something. “You… can stay with me, if you want."

    OR: 5 years after graduating, Mike realizes Will was talking about having feelings for him, all those years ago. Now, he is visiting Hawkins and runs into Will. Who just so happens to have a spare room Mike can stay in. Mike is whipped, but is certain Will lost feelings years ago. Or did he?
