Summary
Will looked at him. Eyebrow raised.
“What?”
“You’re so mean to everyone sometimes.”
Mike grinned, “Not to you, though.”
Will smiled, a little faded, “Yeah. Mostly.”
Mike’s face fell, “Will, I’m–”
Everyone can see how much Mike cares about Will. Everyone except Will, that is.

Summary
"Me?" Mike's heart fluttered. "What.. what about me?"
"I don't know." Will admitted, taking a second to boost his confidence before continuing. "I missed you."
A goofy smile formed on Mike's face, evidently contagious. "I missed you."

Summary
Before high school, Mike and Will thought they'd be thick as thieves along with the rest of the party. However, they discover that they don't have any classes together and drift apart making new friends outside of their childhood friends or focus on their separate hobbies. Then, a rumor happens that further puts a wedge in between Mike and Will. Now, on graduation night, Mike and Will try to make amends and perhaps confess their feelings, only for things to go astray as the next day they have switched bodies. After not seeing eye to eye in so long, perhaps this is their chance to be in each other's shoes.

Summary
“So,” Mike starts, drawing out the word, and Will turns to him. “Any ideas on how to spend the next fifteen minutes?”
It’s teasing, suggestive when he wiggles his eyebrows, and it’s so unexpected that Will lets out a surprised laugh, unabashed, and it’s so easy, how the tension falls away, and it’s only them again.
“You’re ridiculous,” Will shakes his head, smiling, but Mike looks proud of himself anyway.
He points out, “I don’t hear you complaining.”
Will scoffs, nudging at him with an elbow. “Whatever,” he smoothly replies. Mike grins.
Will, Mike, and the numerous attempts at their first kiss.

Summary
Mike’s voice is barely above a whisper and he is speaking without his own permission. He’s still staring blankly ahead at Will, watching his face contort from nervousness to concern. Mike fidgets with his shirt absentmindedly, completely unaware that he’s tugging it so hard that it could tear. He can feel his throat tightening and his chest shrinking and he’s convinced the air is toxic because nothing else should be making this happen. Suddenly, water falls onto his restless hands and he realizes he’s crying. What the fuck is going on?

Summary
Will just wants to get through his last year of high school without incident, to feel normal for once in his life, and try to survive the building tension between him and Mike that grows with every word left unsaid. On the first day of school, Will meets someone new who may finally offer him the acceptance he craves, but he’s unsure what to do when it causes his relationship with Mike to hit a breaking point, forcing them both to confront their true feelings. And to make matters worse, Vecna is always there, whispering in his ear, and letting him know his fated role in the inevitable fall of Hawkins. Slow Burn. Will-centric. Mike-centric later chapters.
