Summary
“What... what are you trying to imply?” Mike’s voice was so quiet, and for a terrifying second, Robin was convinced she had read the situation incorrectly, her body freezing up in fear. She just doomed not just herself, but Will, too. She felt sick to her stomach.
“I’m not implying anything, Mike,” Robin started. “I’m just stating what I see.”
Post S5 EP4:Robin realized that she misjudged Mike.

Summary
“Alright,” he says with a nonchalant shrug. Then, he turns and looks Will dead in the eye. “So, should we talk about your love life then?”
Will’s eyes widen, and once again, the warmth spreads across his cheeks. “W-what?” he stammers, fighting the urge to look over at Mike.
The smirk on Murray’s face only grows, and instead of answering Will’s question, he turns to look at Mike. “Or maybe your love life, Wheeler?” he ponders. “Or I’ve got a better idea… we can kill two birds with one stone and talk about both of you at once!”
Or:
The one in which Murray finally has a chat with Will and Mike.

Summary
“Have you noticed the signals?” Robin asks softly.
Will freezes. He’s quiet for one… two… three moments, before slowly, he lifts his head and meets Robin’s gaze. His eyes are still wide—full of an understandable uncertainty but also a hope that’s so infectious that Robin can’t help but smile.
“I… I think so,” he confesses. “I… I don’t know if they actually mean anything, but… but everything you said to look for… all those signals…”
His voice trails off, and Robin offers a wry smile, finishing the thought for him, “They’re definitely there.”
Or:
The one in which Robin witnesses a snowball become an avalanche.

Summary
Robin had no idea what to say.
"I mean, how old are you anyway? 18? 19?" Mike continued.
"Dustin and Steve are like best friends." Robin frowned. "Why is my being friends with Will a problem for you?"
"That's not what I— never mind." Mike began to dress the wound.
Holy shit.
Mike Wheeler was not Tammy Thompson.
"Oh, what, Wheeler, Will and I — we're just friends. Like 100% platonic. With a giant, capital 'P'. I mean, seriously, this 'P' could not be any bigger," Robin nearly laughed.
Mike swallowed. "Oh."

Summary
“Are you offended that people think we’re dating?”
“No,” Mike says immediately. “Of course not,” because, again, he should be so lucky.
Will’s baffled expression does not change. “Then why would I be?”
“So– okay, fine, whatever. Should we, like, tell them to get their heads out of their asses and that we’re not– um– dating, or–”
“I think,” Will cuts in, “well. You know what would be funny?”
Honestly, Mike doesn't know what he thought being Will Byers' fake-boyfriend would entail, but he definitely didn't think it would involve this many ugly Christmas sweaters.

Summary
Kaitlyn watched as the car dropped, crushing the beast below it. She panted, watching as the creature lay still, leaving her safe. "You did it!" She called, "You got it! Dylan! Dylan?"
She got no response.
Scrambling to her feet she rushed to the stairs, racing up to the crane room. Dylan was tilted forwards, chin to chest, eyes fluttering closed, open, closed, open like he could barely stay awake.
The adrenaline had run out.

“Wow, these woods are so huge. I lost something in them, but I don’t think I’ll be able to get it back,” Dylan says.
Ryan raises an eyebrow, like he might already know where this is headed. “What?”
“My number. Think I could borrow yours?”
And he smiles, despite how hard he’s trying to look annoyed, and Dylan would maybe give anything to see that smile again. “You’re gonna have to try harder than that.”

“This doesn’t mean anything, right?” Natsuki had whispered, inches from Yuri. As the words left her lips, she regretted them. “Just… y’know. Practice.”
“Y-yes,” Yuri had responded, voice low. She removed her hand from Natsuki’s cheek. “Practice.”

Or: Natsuki teaches Yuri how to kiss. Things go... well, as you'd expect.

Summary
“Not to be dramatic, but you scared a couple years off my life.”
“You are very dramatic.” Viktor tilted his head. “But if you ask me whether I am fine again, I will hit you with my cane.”
The words were out of his mouth before he’d even had the chance to process, and he nearly froze, not sure what possessed him to say such a thing. He opened his mouth, ready to do damage control, before—
Jayce barked out a laugh, loud and unrestrained.
“Yeah, well. Sorry for worrying about my partner.” Even through the faint sarcasm of the statement, the words were suffused with such fond, familiar warmth that Viktor felt his breath catch in his chest.
Partner?
Well. That certainly explained the touch. And the warmth in his voice. And the way Viktor leaned toward him instead of away— an innate response. This, at least, made sense now. Viktor had not dared to include this option as one of his preliminary hypotheses.
They were together. Dating. Whatever the most adequate term would be.
OR: Viktor gets amnesia, logically concludes he and Jayce are together, and starts running experiments to confirm it. Jayce is whipped. That's the fic.

Summary
Jayce was going to die. Right here, in this lab, from sheer secondhand embarrassment and utter confusion.
Sky thought they were together. She wasn’t the only one. And instead of correcting her, Viktor had— what, silently agreed?
A single kiss was one thing. Dating was quite another.
“I, uh,” Jayce started, but he had no idea where he was going with it. “Thanks?”
The rise at the end of his tone made it sound like a question. Though, truly, what the hell else was he supposed to say? No, Sky, don’t feel bad, you’re not silly, because actually, we’re not together, despite the fact that apparently the entire city thinks otherwise? That wouldn’t make things awkward at all.
Sky beamed, clearly relieved. “Oh, good! I was worried for a second there. But really, I think it’s great. You two just… fit, you know?”
Jayce did not, in fact, know.
OR: Viktor kisses Jayce instead of telling Sky he isn't interested like a normal person. Cue the gossip mill, and Jayce and Viktor pretend to be in a relationship until it dies down.
For purely practical reasons, of course.

Summary
He leaned his head back frowning as Viktor finished a story. “Wait, wait, go back” he insisted, touching his shoulder. “You've never been kissed?”
Viktor raised an eyebrow. “....Out of my whole story, that you asked me to tell you about. No begged me to tell you about that, that's what you took away?” Viktor is trying to not laugh, though the edges of his lips turn up a little. “But yes Jayce, I've never been kissed.”
