    Summary

    Will flushed as Richie’s eyes, magnified by his lenses, very obviously raked over him, like he was trying to study or analyze him. If he wasn’t feeling so scrutinized he’d be entertained by how obvious it must be anytime Richie looked at anything. It was like his glasses exposed him rather than shielded him.

    He looked almost wooden now, like he had been startled too, his eyes widening and widening impossibly more, making Will subconsciously worry he’d fall into them and get lost, until a little sigh-like sound punched out of Richie’s chest.

    “Whoa.”

    After the last two years of suffering and inter-dimensional threats, the only thing Will wanted was to spend a nice summer with his friends. Too bad they were too busy with their new relationships. With Dustin now away for summer camp, he dreaded the endless afternoons of fifth-wheeling to come.

    After everything that happened last summer, Richie's mother thought it was best if he visited family for a while. Anything to get him out of a town that was clearly getting to him, even if Richie didn't think she knew why. He dreaded being away from the only people who could understand.

    They could have never expected each other.

    Summary

    "But he didn't act like this last time when..." Max's voice trailed off. Even she couldn't say it out loud.

    Last time when El disappeared. Last time when El sacrificed herself. Last time when El died right in front of them.

    "Last time was different," Lucas cut in.

    "Yeah," Will nodded thoughtfully, "We were younger. And they weren't dating yet, of course Mike reacted differently."

    "No," Lucas snorted, "that's not it. He was just... kind of busy."

    "With what?"

    "You."

     

    Or: After the final battle, Mike starts acting strange and stops being a proper alpha of their small but fucked-up pack, so the Party decides to push him where his instincts have always been sharpest — taking care of Will.

    Or: Will is the first male omega in Hawkins in 20 years, and despite the Upside Down and all the horrors now finally over, he can't find HIS place in this new world where he's kinda taken El's place.

    Summary

    As much of a mystery as Mike was, Will had come to understand at least one thing. Mike needed to be needed.
    Will felt like a lightbulb had gone off in his head when he’d come to the realisation.
    The dealing, the sex, the taunting texts – it all made sense. People came to Mike to get what they needed, whether that be drugs, an orgasm, or the last word in a fiery exchange.
    The goading messages were a test, Will had decided – a constant push and pull, Mike seeing whether Will would come back and defend himself against his harsh words.
    In a way, Will was no better than the people traipsing Mike’s door at all hours of the night. He did need something from Mike, just the same as everyone else.

    Or:

    Ending up on the infamous roster of the college drug dealer was not in Will's college plans. He'd had a list — a real one, written down — of how this year was supposed to go. Mike Wheeler was not on it. None of this was.
