Summary
Mike can't stop staring at Will. At his hair, his eyes, and his lips. He doesn't know why, but there's only one explanation he can think of: he's jealous of Will. He tries to push his real feelings away, but the truth will come out eventually...
Will is trying to get over Mike. He knows it pointless to crush on a "straight" boy. But every time he pushes Mike away, Mike finds his way back into Will's life.
Between working at the Radio Shack together and sleeping at each other's houses, their secrets can't be kept forever.
(A story that involves Mike being simultaneously oblivious and completely in love with Will. He eventually comes to a realization that he wants his best friend to be much more than a friend. At the same time, Will tries to avoid how he feels about Mike, but you can't get over the love of your life.)

Summary
“You do like it,” Mike teases. “I can tell.”
“Obviously,” Will huffs. “You know what I like.”
Mike does. What a surreal feeling it is, to be the one who knows what Will likes. What makes him blush, or shy away. What turns him on. To be the only one who knows these things.
“Yeah,” Mike says softly. “I know.”
or
Will becomes the patron saint of pretending to sleep with guys to help them come out of the closet. Mike isn’t exactly thrilled with the situation.

Summary
But it wasn’t a monster that came out of the trees. It was a person. A boy.
Mike froze.
Then he was spotted, and the boy stopped in his tracks; with skillful movements, he quickly slung the rifle off his shoulder and pointed it at Mike’s chest. Mike raised his hands while trying to keep most of his weight on his left leg.
“Whoa. Hey,” Mike said, his eyes wide as he stared at the tip of the rifle. “Just hold on. I’m not—I’m not going to hurt you.”
Or: A crawl gone wrong left Mike stranded in the Upside Down. Hurt and alone, Mike stumbles upon someone everyone told him was dead.
Will Byers was never found Au
