    Summary

    Mike Wheeler always seems to gravitate toward Will Byers, like they’re connected by an invisible string; Will could be on the opposite end of any room and Mike would somehow find his way over to stand next to him. When Robin points this out to Will, Will thinks she’s crazy, and they strike a deal; if Will stays away from Mike for a week and notices how Mike will always find him, Will has to consider that maybe, just maybe, Mike has a crush on him too.

    A deal which Will agrees to because, why not? There’s no way this can be true.

    Can it?

    Summary

    "Why did you lie?"

    Will felt gravity leave him, felt his body untether itself from this mortal realm and float directly into the setting sun. The room was casted in a yellow-gold, beamless and directionless - and because Will was a sinner, he replied, "About what?"

    Mike's face creased. He shook the rolled up painting, tightening his fist around it. "About this, Will. Don't play dumb."

    (AKA: Oh, you know - just your standard Mike-finds-out-about-the-painting confrontation.)

    Summary

    Now that Will’s sitting and Mike’s the one that’s standing, he looks impossibly tall. Tall and lanky, and huge. He should sit back down, Will thinks, lay back down next to Will and stay in their own secluded little bubble.

    “I really want to kiss you,” Mike says, and Will’s eyes snap back up to his so violently he thinks he hears his own neck crack with the force of it.

    “Don’t,” Will croaks, before his brain has even processed the words. “Don’t say that.”

    “Okay,” Mike says easily, still staring. And what the actual fuck is going on? Is Will hallucinating? Is the weed making him hallucinate? “So sausage and pepperoni?”

    Will stares dumbly at him. “Um - yeah. Yes.”

    “Cool,” Mike replies and then just turns around and leaves Will sitting dumbly in his own room.

    or

    Mike and Will get high on Jonathan’s weed and Mike has an amazing idea.

    Summary

    “In the church,” she adds. “It’s shielded. Old. Quiet. He won’t look for you there.”

    Mike’s fingers curl slightly into Will’s jacket, instinctive and protective. “I’ll stay with him,” Mike says immediately, not even looking at Hopper this time. “The whole time.”

    El nods. She doesn’t question it, like she knows that’s where he’s always been meant to be. Will exhales slowly, then looks at Mike. “You don’t have to—” he starts.

    “I know,” Mike says quietly. “But I want to.”

    or; Mike stays with Will in the Upside Down as the group splits, and when Will faces danger in the church where they're hiding, Mike realizes this is his final chance to bring Will back.
