Summary
On New Year’s Eve of 1990, Mike accidentally contributes to the rapid progression of the little game he and Will have been playing for the past year and a half. It’s then that he realizes that he has to straighten himself up before the clock strikes twelve and he’s stuck being the same yearning loser he’s been forever.
When the Party gets to their chosen celebration of the night, Mike makes an attempt to get drunk enough to get his mind off the thing he can’t ever seem to forget about and enjoy the atmosphere.
But when he sees a stupid frat guy flirting with Will, the familiar jealousy bubbles in his gut, and he stands alone with his thoughts until he gives up on the entire notion of moving on. Then Will finds him sulking outside, and the game starts to progress in a direction that neither of them are prepared to take.

Summary
Mike turns around and sees Will standing in the middle of the hallway and stops.
"Hey," he says. "Can I help you find something?"
His voice in person is slightly different from the radio. This is the version before the edit. Louder, and a little breathless from arguing, and entirely unaware of how often Will had listened to him.
"I'm here about a logo commission," Will says. He sounds, he thinks, almost normal. Even with his brain operating at half-capacity.
Mike's eyebrows go up in surprise. "We're getting a new logo?"

Summary
“Oh come on Mike! When have we ever been invited to a party? We can play D&D any other night this summer. This? We can't. Come on, let's go, please.” Will begs.
Mike looks over at Dustin who's clasped his hands together in mock prayer.
“Fine! Fine, we can go to Stacey's stupid party.”
Dustin cheers and high fives Will, “Guys did you hear that?!” Dustin yells down the stairs of Mike's basement.
Max and Lucas gather at the bottom of the staircase. Both of them shoot Dustin a questioning look.
“Mike said yes! Will finally convinced him.”
Max and Lucas give each other a quick look before fighting to sprint up the stairs together. Max barrels through the three of them.
“What are you morons waiting for? Let's go!” Max yells as she drags Lucas out the door in the garage.
Dustin trails after immediately and Will glances over to Mike who's shaking his head.
“Ready to party like stupid teenagers?” Will asks as he grabs his jacket off the table.
Mike smiles as he follows after, “As I’ll ever be.”
Or
Will finally convinces Mike to go to Stacey's graduation party instead of playing DND all night.

“I'm glad you're here.”
Mike sniffled.
“I don't want to leave.”
Will's hand reached out, wanting to brush the hair away from Mike's forehead, but it fell short, stopping by his shoulder. He squeezed it lightly.
“You don't have to leave,” he whispered instead. Then, quieter: “Please don't leave.”
Mike and Will find comfort in each other, trying to hold on despite the ghosts of their past haunting their lives.

Summary
“So… you’ll show me around the bar too? We’ll be colleagues?”
Will remains suspended for a heartbeat, his eyes wide with a fleeting, stunned clarity. Then, a sheepish, airy laugh breaks through his surprise.
“Oh! No, Mike. I’m not behind the bar.”
A subtle tilt of his head draws Mike’s eye toward the stage. Will catches his bottom lip between his teeth, a nervous habit that betrays the sudden spike in the room’s electricity.
“I’m a dancer here.”
Oh.
~
Or: Mike Wheeler finds a job as a bartender at a Burlesque Club in NYC and discovers that his childhood best friend / crush of a lifetime is a dancer. Will he survive seeing Will Byers stripping and dancing on stage every night? Will he be able to win him over, while also trying not to make a fool out of himself?

Summary
“He was looking at it. Earlier.”
Mike’s eyes do that darkening thing again. “Yeah?”
Will nods. With Mike looking at him like that, he suddenly feels like his voice is going to give out. But after a moment, Mike’s expression lifts again, soft smile taking over his face. He nudges Will’s shoulder with his own. “Told ya it’d work.”
“I guess,” says Will. His own smile doesn’t quite reach his eyes.
Or, Mike helps Will make his co-worker jealous. Which, apparently, means covering Will in hickeys and making out with him.

Summary
“I’ve been thinking about what you said.” Mike swallowed.
“I said a lot. Remind me what do you mean.”
He wanted to scream, the way he teased him when he clearly knew what Mike referred to. Fuck it. Worst thing was he said no. I just had to ask. “When you went off my lap and we were both fucking hard.” Mike noticed Will flinched at the tone in his voice. “When you leaned over to me.” Now Mike leaned toward Will’s ear. “And when you said.” He started to whisper, “You know I can help you with that.”
Goosebumps formed on Will’s neck.
“I’ve been thinking about that all evening.” He took Will’s earlobe between his lips. “I know you did too."Coming home from college for the winter break, the party meets to catch up, drink and have a fun time. In a game of truth or dare, Will has to give Mike a hickey, but in their drunken state they can't keep their hands from another and are turned on more than they should. After heated nights together, Will proposes to be friends with benefits, which definitely never brought anyone in trouble before...

Summary
“You okay?” Will quirks one of his eyebrows, then looks down to Mike’s hand. “Your popsicle is melting.”
Mike’s suddenly aware of the stickiness between his fingers as the liquid from the half-melted Jell-O Pop settles in the crevices of his hand. His brain feels completely blank, other than the image of Will looking utterly cock-drunk on a fucking popsicle, which takes center stage, pushing everything else out of the way.
Mike blinks rapidly, hoping to chase the image away, but it’s stuck there now, under his eyelids, under his skin, carved deeply into the fabric of his very being.
Fuck. He’s hard. Raging hard. He never gets hard. What is this?!
or
Mike Wheeler has spent years thinking something is wrong with him.
Everyone else wants sex. Everyone else talks about it. Everyone else seems obsessed with it.
Mike isn't.
Not until Will Byers sits next to him at Lover's Lake and eats a popsicle in a way that turns his world upside down.
Now Mike has a problem.
And he's determined to prove it has absolutely nothing to do with his best friend.- Language:

The universe keeps bringing them together, and these supposed strangers begin to know one another for the very first time.
Or is it?

Summary
Will could still feel it. The storm. Feel the way it moved, fast and endless and alive, spreading through everything; through him. Black clouds twisting in impossible shapes, something enormous shifting inside them.
He jerked upright with a gasp and the room slammed back into place around him.
The dorm he shared with Mike. The single beds they’d pushed together to make one. The faint glow of the lamp on the other side of the room – always left on for Will. The low, distant hum of the city outside.
New York. 1992.
Not there.
But the feeling didn’t leave. It clung to him, cold and heavy.
The lamp flickered.
He froze.

Summary
"I'm actually so excited to have you live with us," Will said giddily.
"You are?"
Mike hoped it didn't sound as pathetic to them as it did to him.
Will grinned at him. "For sure. I can finally do something about that hair of yours."
Despite himself, Mike laughed out loud, cherishing the taunting.
It was going to be fine. If he could have this Will by his side again, he could take other men having their way with him a thin wall away from Mike. Couldn't he?
Or: Will gives Mike a little bit of tough love, encouraging him to stop wasting his life. Mike moves in with Will and Dustin in New York only to realize that Will has a very - very - active sex life. Mike is okay with it for about three nanoseconds before he loses his mind, regretting every choice he ever made and desperately wishing it was him there with Will.

Summary
“You’re insane! I can’t just write something as obvious as that. What if he figures out it’s me?”
”Um, then you get a super-cute boyfriend who you’ve been in love with for, like, as long as you’ve known him?” Vickie blinked at him, arms crossed over her lanyard. “I don’t understand the issue, why don’t you just… tell him?”
”The issue is that he could hear me, Vick.” Mike emphasised. “He could hear me, and realise I’m actually a loser, and ride away on the back of that dumb jock’s motorcycle-”
“C’mon, Mike,” Vickie interrupted his rambling with a teasing sing-song tone, bunny teeth glinting past her pink lips. “Valentines is a day for the brave. Besides, what’s the worst that could happen?”
Or, four times Mike Wheeler sends the cute art teacher a candy-gram for Valentine’s Day, and the one time he doesn’t need to.

Summary
Mike was sick of them. Sick of their double dates, their couple's costumes, inside jokes and plans they just have to make a 'couples thing'. Sure, the six of them still hung out together all the time, but Mike and Will would always end up ostracized by default, unable to communicate with them now that they only spoke the language of love and nothing else. And that summer, at the cottage, it definitely wouldn't be any different.
or
It's 1993. The party goes over to Lucas's family cottage for the summer; Mike and Will get bothered by how often they're excluded from all the couples stuff their friends do, which leads them to start pretending to be dating in the most insufferable way they can come up with. They just weren't counting on it completely blurring the lines of their friendship.

Summary
“So I ran. I just kept following the memory.” He looks at Will. “It led me back to you.”
"Oh."
Mike smiles at this. His normal, full smile, his eyes crinkling in the corners, and it makes Will’s stomach swoop. “Yeah, Will. Oh.” He elbows Will’s arm playfully. “So you can’t leave me. I’m not letting you out of my sight, actually. You have to be attached to my hip like Max and that goddamn Walkman.”
⋆°•☁︎⋆
After Vecna split the earth beneath Hawkins, nothing has been the same. Will's sensitivity to the Upside Down is stronger than ever, Dustin and Lucas are consumed with grief, and Mike and El are not speaking.
Then, Mike falls under Vecna's curse, and the party discovers that his way out of the trance is not through song but through his oldest friend, who is hopelessly in love with him. To be safe, everyone decides it's best if Will does not let Mike out of his sight for the foreseeable future.

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.
