Summary
Will can’t allow himself the luxury of a wet dream tonight, so he wills for Mike to stop moving.
Mike does not stop moving.
Will frowns, mustering up more focus, sharpening his control.
Mike still doesn’t stop, but he lets out an annoyed whine. “What’s fucking tugging at me right now?”
What.
“I’m—trying to stop you. Stop.” Will’s voice comes out warped and distant, unused to being spoken out loud in the dreamscape.
Mike stops moving, as instructed, breathing heavily against Will’s open mouth. “Why? Isn’t this—isn’t this just a dream? Come on.”
Huh?!
What is Will’s subconscious trying to achieve right now?—or—
Will's powers have been acting up lately, thanks to the stress of college and a part time job.
He finds solace in his usual lucid dreams. Except, suddenly — they get clearer. More vivid. More out of control.
Will assumes it's just his subconscious working through some very obvious problems.
Mike assumes he's just having weird sex dreams about his best friend because he's stressed and pent-up.Neither of them realizes they're sharing them.

Summary
"Kneel.", Will repeats, sounding sterner than he means to.
Mere seconds later, Mike's brown eyes align with Will's.
He doesn't know what's worse. Mike immediately abiding to his command or the fact that he still barely hovers over Mike despite the latter being on his knees.
Will ignores the fluttering in his stomach.
"I think you begin um-" He hesitates. "You say 'Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned.'"
Will hears Mike swallow.
"Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned.", he whispers.
Will thinks he might faint. He grips the chair, trying to steady himself before he continues to speak.
"Right." He clears his throat. "Now...tell me what's on your mind."
Mike is silent for a while.
"I don't think I've ever been in love with El.", he suddenly blurts out.
"What?"

Summary
“You… um, smoke?” Will asks before he can stop himself, swallowing as he watches a boy lean against the dusty, cracking brick wall.
Will doesn’t know much about the boy, except that his name is Mike and his father is the pastor.
“What?” He replies, pulling the cigarette from his lips and lightly blowing the smoke from his mouth. “Just because my dad is the pastor, you think I can’t enjoy a cigarette?
OR:
Will Byers is no stranger to religious guilt. He carries it everywhere he goes, and it’s starting to weigh him down.
When he meets Mike Wheeler, the pastor’s son, he realizes there is more to life than just fearing God, and it’s much scarier.

Summary
“Mike?”
“Yeah, sorry I uh- I mean no.” He stutters, trying to force the words out.
“What?” Will looks down at him, raising an eyebrow in confusion.
“No.”
“What do you mean no?” Will asks, his expression changing from confusion to something that almost looks like shock.
“I- sorry, yeah I’ll- I’ll help.” He replies, shaking his head, in disbelief that he couldn't even last ten seconds before immediately caving and doing as Will asked.
“Wow.” Max scoffs in amusement, clapping her hands dramatically. “Look at that Wheeler, you almost did it, you almost said no to Will. Very proud.” She sarcastically praises.
Or
Max makes fun of Mike for doing whatever Will wants so Mike tries to prove her wrong but fails miserably.
Will finds it funny and tests just how much Mike is willing to do for him.Bookmarked by postreadingclarity
