Summary
“I feel like you used to tell me things,” Mike says.
Will looks away from his Walkman, back to Mike. It’s almost startling, finding him already looking back. “I – tell you things,” he replies, a little awkwardly. He barely gets through the sentence before Mike is already shaking his head.
"No,” he frowns, “you – you used to tell me things. Like, stuff you wouldn’t tell everyone else.” He seems conflicted, and he looks away. “Stuff just between us.”
Will doesn’t know where to begin.
Will tries to navigate a conversation with a freshly-broken-up-with Mike.

Summary
Will hums, leaning back on his palms.
“What?” Mike asks, looking up.
“Nothing.” Will shrugs with a sweet smile on his face.
Mike returns the smile and turns back to his shoes, untying the left one enough to pull it gently off of Will’s foot and place it down on the floor. He starts on the other shoe, but freezes as Will places a hand in his hair.
“My paladin.”
Mike looks up at Will, eyes wide and mouth slightly agape.
“My cleric.” He returns after a deep breath.
Will giggles, his already rosy cheeks blushing even more.

After the events at the MAC-Z, Mike tries to bring back their long abandoned tradition from when they were little of “kiss it better” where he insists that a kiss from his cleric-turned-sorcerer can heal any wound. Will isn’t sure how he feels about it.

Summary
Lucas snorted, glancing at Mike out of the corner of his eyes, “You’re saying William Byers is a more complicated subject for you than your parents' sudden divorce?”
“Unironically, yes,” grumbled Mike.
“Dude.”
Mike sighed, looking at the ceiling. “I know, Lucas, okay? I know.”
Or; Karen leaves Ted and subsequently kickstarts Mike's journey to reclaim his bravery.

Summary
“Forever?”
Though the camera doesn’t catch it, Joyce and Jonathan exchange an amused look over the rearview.
Then, the footage splices, rapidly cutting through various points in life—Will and Mike’s first time hanging out at the Byers’; Mike coming over for Will’s birthday; Will coming over for Mike’s. Flashes of middle school that stretched into those final days before they left for Lenora. High school, graduation, moving day—the clips start blurring into one another as more pop up, but it stops on a clip of Mike and Will, probably around six years old, giggling as they try to handle the camera.
“We’ll see about forever, honey.”
(or, the one where jonathan byers has a lot of stocked up video footage from when mike and will were kids, and decides that the best time to reveal them is during his best man speech at their wedding.)
