Summary

Or
Mike Wheeler realizes he's mega-attracted to William Byers, his best friend of fifteen years. They live in a shoebox apartment in NYC, where he can hear every thrust and moan through the cardboard walls. Mike runs to Max, who helps him to devise a plan to get into Will's pants. If he doesn't manage to do it by the end of a ten-day period, he forfeits his love, pride, and a lump sum of money. Mike is incredibly awkward, but he's a stubborn man with a journal and a dream. Will he secure Will's affection, or will he be relegated to the cuck chair for all of time and eternity? Only time will tell.

Summary
Will could not help the question that burst from his lips, it had been ricocheting around his brain like a stray tennis ball and was simultaneously causing him the most excitement, distress and exhilaration he had felt in his entire life.
“Are you my husband?” he blurted. Mike blinked in surprise.
“What?”
Will lost his nerve slightly. He wondered if he had been horribly wrong about this, and maybe in this strange timeline he was just a friend staying over and maybe he’d made a mistake and the daughter wasn’t really his daughter and—
Will faltered. “Um, I — well, I just thought you were — I mean, you are my husband, right?”
Mike looked very alarmed. He was staring at Will as though he had grown a second head.
“Obviously…?” he said, “Are you feeling alright? Did your mom make you try her D-I-Y coffee again?”
When nineteen-year-old Will Byers wakes up to find himself in his forty-three-year-old body, he must—with no experience whatsoever—play the part of world-renowned freelance painter, father of two very troublesome teenagers, and most strangely of all: Mike Wheeler’s husband.

Summary
It's been three years, and everyone seems to have moved on except Mike Wheeler. Stuck in the same routine, days blending together over and over. He's opted to accept his fate, but some feelings can't stay repressed forever.
As he grapples with his demons, he realizes escape is an option, leading him down a twisted road of memories past. Reliving each trauma reminds him, however, exactly why he was choosing to conform all along. If Mike can escape Vecna's curse, he just might rewrite a love story we've heard before.
