Summary
"Did you not hear me? I said I was in love with you.” Will cringes at the repetition.
“So? It’s two in the morning. I’m tired.”
“In love. Like romantically.” Jesus Christ, why couldn’t he stop saying it?
Mike rolls his eyes. “I know what it means, William. What I don’t know, is why that means I can’t go back to bed right now. We can talk in the morning if you want.”
Will blinks.
---
“Imagine?” Mike asks, raising an eyebrow. He leans closer, cocking his head. “You do a lot of imagining, Will?”
Will briefly squints in confusion before going red, the color spilling across his cheekbones and down his neck. “Not like that!” He shrieks, but he’s still so, so red, and Mike almost desperately wants to know just how far down the color goes.

or,
In a fit of midnight panic, Will accidentally tells Mike he's in love with him. But Mike...doesn't even seem to care. Will goes a little insane about it (and so does Mike).Bookmarked by saqphos

pulling teeth, so bittersweet by toomanythoughtsnowords

Summary
"Will, come closer!" He whispers loudly, waving him in. His voice is muffled. Karen has pulled one of the chairs from the corner to Mike's other side of the bed, but he hasn't even given her so much as a glance. Ted sits in the corner, newspaper still in hand. "I have a secret to tell you!"
Will shakes his head, and steps forward. Mike still isn't satisfied.
"Closer!"
He obliges, pulling a chair right up to the top of the bed where Mike sits. He leans forward a little at Mikes beaconing, brow raised and waiting. Mike looks him over, eyes lidded, grin watery. Up close Will notices that his teeth are tinted pink from traces of blood and he seems to be biting down on gauze in the back of his mouth.
"Hi," Mike says, in a fit of giggles.
Mike gets his wisdom teeth out and shares a few secrets that Will certainly never expected to hear. But its not like he actually meant it, right?

Dustin Henderson, the Scientific Method, and Homosexuality by crow_of_crimes (Theyna_Shipper)

Summary
Dustin Henderson is, if nothing else, a firm believer in the scientific method. As a bug collector since age 4, an aspiring computer scientist since 5th grade, a member of Hawkins A/V since 6th grade, a science camp attendee since 7th grade, and a boy with a lifelong passion for science, he recognizes its principles: careful observation, study, and peer review.
So when strange things begin to happen in Hawkins, that fall outside the usual nature of strange things that happen in Hawkins, he returns to his roots to find the answers. After all, the scientific method applies to social science, too. And if any observation ever needed careful dissection, it was this one.
~~~
Or: Dustin Henderson applies the scientific method to figure out why two of his best friends have been acting so strangely.

I'll believe in anything (and you'll believe in anything). by thousgay

Summary
Will’s eyes flicked to Lucas. His eyebrows were high up on his forehead, eyes widened, and he shifted up a little straighter, like he was intrigued. Like he knew what was coming, and was bracing for it.
“And— and it’s like… shit, it’s like— kind of awful, y’know? Um. To figure out. The thing’s not awful. Well— maybe. Probably. Possibly? You guys might think so. My dad thinks so. I kind of think so? Uh. Well. Not as much. Not anymore?” His shuddering hand gestured outwards, pointing at nothing, a wide gesticulation of no substance or meaning beyond nervous habit. Mike sucked in another harsh breath. “And it’s like… this— this massive thing. Like, life-changing. It’s kind of re-contextualised my whole life, actually. Like I’ve suddenly switched D&D classes, or something.”
Or: Mike is the Party member everyone believes is gay. Mike is also the Party member that comes out first.
Or: the answer to MWTFDYDgate.
