    Summary

    He remembers to answer when a tiny crease forms between Will’s eyebrows. “Nothing you should worry about.”

    “I always worry about you,” intones Will lowly like it’s a secret that no one else here should be privy to. He threads his fingers through Mike’s freezing knuckles, squeezing lightly, and Mike’s stomach lurches.

    Mike and Will attend Dustin’s birthday party.

    Summary

    “You said I was bad at managing my time between my girlfriend and my best friend but you’re basically doing the same thing.”

    Girlfriend?!” Will spits out, thoroughly shell-shocked.

    “I don’t get it! You could’ve told me you had a crush on someone, I would’ve—and when did you ever talk to Robin? You move to California and all of a sudden you’ve got all these girls hanging off of you and you’re interested in older girls—“ Mike’s voice embarrassingly cracks. He decides to quit while he’s ahead before he delves into the forbidden.

    In the wake of the apocalypse, Mike and Will find their way to each other.

    Summary

    Sometimes, Will really, really wishes he could catch a fucking break.
    As if getting dragged into the Upside Down and making everyone rescue him a second time wasn’t bad enough, this time, somehow, Will also leaves the Upside Down with the ability to read people’s minds.
    At least he’s not throwing up slugs this time.

    or;
    Will gets telepathic powers, and can't control them. Through this, he accidentally learns that his best friend is having some less than heterosexual thoughts.
    The only problem is he doesn't seem to know he's having them.

    Summary

    Mike stared at him, hoping for an inkling of clarity, but it never came. It never did. Being around Will only ever made things more confusing.

    “Yeah, whatever, man.”

    As he began to walk away, Will said something behind him, his voice nearly inaudible under the all of the noise. Arcade games squealed, teenagers chattered, skates rolled and scraped around in the rink. They all seemed to stop when Will’s words registered in his mind:

    “Well, what about us?”

    Somewhere between a long drive through the desert, a death curse, and his hometown falling apart, Mike Wheeler is faced with the reality of his feelings for his best friend.

    OR: a companion piece to Stranger Things 4 and beyond, as seen through the eyes of Mike Wheeler.
