Summary
“Do you want to be my friend?”
He says it just like that. Because if you want someone to be your friend, you have to ask. Right? That’s how it works.
The boy is quiet. For a second, Mike thinks he might run away or call for his mom. But instead, the boy looks at him like he’s deciding something important. Then he nods. Very slowly.
Something warm spreads through Mike’s chest.
“Cool!” he grins. “My name’s Mike. Mike Wheeler.”
He smiles wide, not thinking about his missing teeth, and sticks out his hand—because that’s what his dad does when he meets people.
The boy hesitates, then shakes it anyway.
“I’m Will. Will Byers.”
His voice is quiet. Mike feels like he should listen more carefully to him than to anyone else.
something about Mike and his internalized homophobia i guess

Summary
Will loved ordinary things, an uneventful existence was something he craved. Sadly, when Mike Wheeler walks into his life, Will’s easy going path snaps right in half. A passion he could never imagine overtaking his whole being.
It was too bad their friend groups hated each other and his sister had a huge crush on the musician. Off limits.
Fantastic.

Summary
“Looks like I bit you.” Will tilts his head to get a better look. All Mike can do is stare at him. His fluffy hair at the front, clumped pieces at the back where he’d slid his fingers in a mere few minutes before. His pretty green eyes that look hazel or even brown in this light, the dark circles he gets when he drinks framing them like intricate paintings. A satisfied, bloody smile.
Mike isn’t satisfied. He swallows thickly, choking down the words 'don’t you want more?'
Or: Will dresses as a vampire for a college halloween party, but Mike thinks his costume isn’t bloody enough. Will lets him fix it. Mike goes into a crisis.

Summary
-----
"Is a kiss a possible signal or...start of a...snowball?"
"A kiss isn't a signal nor a snowball." Will frowned immediately, confusion knitting his brows together, his mouth turning down at the corners.
"What is it then?" The question came out quiet, almost afraid of the answer, but needing it desperately anyway.
"An avalanche."
