Summary
Silence fell over them again - a tension-filled one, again - but this time, it wasn't awkward. It was charged. Electric. Like if Mike was brave enough to reach out and touch Will, literal sparks would fly. But the tension was fragile, too, so fragile that Mike didn't move, barely even to breathe, his heart - yet again - stuck in his throat and keeping him from uttering a word. It wasn't like he wanted to speak anyway, though. He didn't want to ruin this unnamable thing blooming between he and Will, their eyes locked with such intensity that Mike choked.
OR...
Mike and Will finally get over themselves and have their first kiss.

Summary
In the end, it doesn’t matter. None of it fucking matters. Because what’s really in control is the tension. This elusive string tied between their chests that’s always changing length. Right now it’s so short and taught and strong that Will can’t imagine resisting it. So really, it was never a matter of if he would. Just when. When will he fold? When will he let go and let himself follow Mike into the water?
He dares to glance down at his knees, where he can see Mike’s fingers peeking out from behind his calves (as if he needed that visual reminder that they’re touching), and then back up to meet Mike’s expectant gaze.
He’s going to do it. He’s such a fucking idiot.
OR
Mike & Will have a long overdue conversation on the way back to Hawkins— by, in, and around a random motel pool.

Summary
In theory, Mike doesn’t drink because he’s designated driver for the night. In reality, Mike doesn’t drink out of spite.
or: Mike figures some things out, but in his own damn time. Sometimes it takes two lame high school parties, an unwitting troupe of matchmakers, and the change of the seasons to realize you're in love with your best friend.

Summary
“Jonathan…” His voice was high and resigned. “You know there’s no way I could do that. There’s no point—he likes girls. Plus, he’s going through a break up. And all this Vecna bullshit…” He sighed heavily, voice crumpling up like a tin can the more he spoke. “The last thing he needs is me burdening him further with my lame crush.”
In a blink Mike snatched up the walkie with trembling hands, shoving the plastic brick’s speaker hard against his ear.
So. El was right. Will did have a crush after all.In which Mike hears something he shouldn't.
