    Summary

    “Sorry, sorry,” Mike said, stepping aside and gesturing stiffly at the couch like a Victorian gentleman offering someone a seat. “You can, um… sit. First. If you want.”

    Will narrowed his eyes playfully. “You’re being weird.”

    “You’re being weird!” Mike hissed in a whisper, horrified. “We’re both being weird!”

     

    💕💕💕💕

     

    Mike and Will have finally started dating… they just have absolutely no idea how to act. From failed cuddles to awkward almost-kisses to disastrous hand-holding, they stumble their way through figuring out how to be boyfriends, together.

    Summary

    Will looked up.

    Mike was frozen mid–chew, a piece of pasta hanging stupidly from his fork. His eyes were wide, fixed on Will’s chest.

    On the hoodie.

    On his hoodie.

    The moment stretched like elastic. Mike blinked once. Twice. Then the blush hit - an immediate, fierce red crawling up his neck to the tips of his ears.

    “Oh,” he croaked, voice cracking.

    Will blinked. “Oh?”

    “That’s, um, that’s…” Mike swallowed hard. “That’s my hoodie.”

    Will felt heat rush to his own face. “Uh. Yeah. Sorry. I… I forgot to return it. I’ll give it back later.”

    “No!” Mike squeaked, far too loudly. He cleared his throat violently. “I mean, you don’t have to. I’m not, like, I don’t need it. You can, um. Keep it. If you want.”

     

    💕💕💕

     

    Will borrows Mike’s hoodie once. Then twice. Then it becomes…a whole thing.

    Summary

    He was happy for Will. He was. He wanted Will to have someone. Someone who made him smile like that, even if it hurt to look at. Even if it made something ugly and sharp crawl around inside Mike’s chest.

    Because this wasn’t about Mike.

    This was about Will finally being honest. Being able to be himself.

    And Mike was going to be okay with it.

    He had to be.

    💕💕💕💕

    After Will comes out, Mike is completely, totally, absolutely fine about it.

    Except for the part where he’s weirdly upset about Will having a crush on Lucas.

    And the part where he can’t stop thinking about Will.

    And the part where everything finally clicks.

    Summary

    Will raises his eyebrows. “Is that why you came in here?” he repeats, looking back down at the blue flannel. “To ask me about the weather in Lenora?”

    “Kind of,” Mike says, and then, “well no, not about the weather specifically. I just– I wanted to talk to you.”

    “Oh.” And Will looks a lot more surprised at this, actually, than the idea that Mike might have just wanted to come to his room to make small talk about unseasonably frigid California winters. “Okay. What about?”

    “Anything.” The response is embarrassingly immediate. “Everything. I don’t know. I missed you.”

    Hawkins, 1986. The world is ending, there are too many people in Mike's house, and to top it all off, he and Will have some things to talk through.

    Summary

    It’s dark. Cold. He’s back.

    Thick, ash-like particles scatter in the air. Writhing vines crawl up the walls and into the arcade machines, which flicker on and off like faulty lightbulbs. The whole room is gray, devoid of any music or life.

    And through it all, there’s a voice. One that Will’s come to know almost as well as his own.

    Come back, Will. Come home. Join us.
