Summary
"Don’t," the other Mike cuts in, fast and low and urgent. "Don’t do this here. Don’t do this in front—" his eyes slide over—”not in front of them."
"Why not?" Will's future self snaps. "You wanna talk so bad, let’s talk."
"Not like this.”
“No—exactly like this,” he shoots back. “You don’t get to keep doing that. Acting like protecting him—yourself—is the same thing as protecting me.”
That lands harder. Quieter. More dangerous.
“You think he doesn’t deserve to know?” he goes on. “You think I didn’t?”
“Will.” A warning.
“You wanna start with the summer?” he says. “Or should we just skip ahead to New York?” A beat. His mouth twists. “Or even better—Dustin’s graduation?”
[Or: The one where Will and Mike meet their future selves, and discover they have some... unresolved issues.]
[Or or: The one where your humble author somehow stumbles ass-backwards into a series finale re-write?]

Summary
Mike points between them again, eyes bright now with unmistakable fascination. “You’re literally the same person.”
“Mike.”
“That’s so—”
“Creepy,” Will finishes.
“Weird,” supplies the girl at the same time.
Mike grins. “Awesome.”
[Or: The one where Willow shows up, and everyone learns a thing or two about universal constants.]

Summary
"Boys!” Hopper barked.
They broke apart instantly this time, Mike nearly fell again, but Will held onto him.
“I leave for one goddamn second,” Hopper snapped, voice rising, “ONE SECOND—”
“Hop—” Will started.
“No,” Hopper cut him off, pointing at Mike. “I scream at you, I leave the room for a second, and you think that means permission to continue—” he gestured wildly between them and stared right at Mike, “—DEFILING MY SON?”
