    Summary

    “Just saying, if you’re taking another hit, you should share it with me,” Mike says, and Will slowly tilts his head, drinking in every word. “It just makes sense. Like, mathematically.”

    Will’s reddened eyes narrow, bewildered. “Mathematically?”

    “If there’s two hits left, we’d each only get one,” Mike explains. “But if we shotgunned, we’d both get two.” God, this is the best idea he’s had in ages. He should’ve stolen Will’s weed, like, months ago. “That’s like, bang for your buck. This is simple math, Will Byers. Keep up.”

    In which it’s well past midnight in New York, Will can’t sleep, and Mike feels like they barely know each other anymore.

    So, they get a little high. Mike is very normal about all of it.

    Summary

    In a desperate, last-ditch flail of an effort to salvage the situation, Mike grabbed Will’s arm.

    The silence veered from heavy to charged. All of Mike’s attention surged into his hand. He felt like the entirety of his consciousness was suddenly located in the place where his skin touched Will’s.

    What the fuck, thought Mike for the second time in ten minutes.

    Or,
    After first using his powers, Will falls unconscious—and stays that way. Refusing to leave Will's side, Mike reflects on the last year and a half while he waits for Will to wake up.

    Summary

    “Wait,” Lucas takes another glance at Will, specifically at the sweater he’s wearing. “Is that Mike’s?”

    Here’s the other thing about the last eight or so months of Will Byers’ life: he’s been spending his nights, on and off, secretly, semi-occasionally, very frequently, kissing Mike Wheeler.

    He’s confused about it too, don’t even worry.

    Summary

    Mike is sitting at the desk that technically belongs to both of them but has, by unspoken agreement, become his. His typewriter is centered in front of him, a stack of slightly wrinkled paper to the left, a mug with cold coffee to the right, and his glasses sliding down his nose every few minutes.

    The lamp is on low. Yellow light pools over the keys and his fingers.

    He types carefully at first, then faster, then pauses, his fingers hovering over the keys shakily.
    On the page, the name stares back at him.

    Will the Wise.

    Summary

    “We survived monsters. I think we can survive one party.”

    “I mean,” Will says slowly, “we could go. Just for a bit.”

    That’s the deciding vote.

    Mike swallows hard, pride bruised and aching. He forces the jealousy down, packs it away somewhere tight and sharp in his chest, where it can’t spill out and make things worse. He nods once, stiffly, lips pressed into a thin line that he hopes passes for a smile.

    “Yeah,” he says, even though the word tastes bitter. “Sure, sounds fine.”

    or; Mike isn’t on board with going to that party, so he suggests staying in the basement to play instead, except this time, they actually go. And he is jealous.
