Summary
“Don't,” Will warns, his voice trembling. “He’s good to me. He doesn't look at me like I’m broken, Mike. He doesn't look at me and see a monster or a victim. He just sees me.” Will huffs as he wipes a tear from his cheek.
“And that’s enough for you?” Mike’s voice drops to a whisper, his eyes glassy and fierce. “Just being ‘seen’ by some stranger who doesn't know a thing about you? He doesn't know what you’ve been through. He doesn't know what it’s like to lose everything. He just sees the version of you that’s easy to love,” Mike bites out, angry and vengeful.
Will flinches as if Mike had slapped him. The anger drains out of him, replaced by a raw, aching hurt. “Fuck you, Mike. Maybe I want to be easy to love. Did you ever think of that? Maybe I’m tired of being difficult.”Or, A year after the party goes their separate ways, Mike visits Will, only to find he's moved on.

Summary
“I bet your boyfriend's funny, huh?” he said, before he could stop himself. His eyes flicked back to the piece of jewellery on Will’s neck. “Nice necklace by the way.”
Will froze.
Mike wasn’t stupid. He knew it wasn’t just a necklace. It was a signal. A claim.
Six years after everything, Mike Wheeler has built a life of routine and avoidance, convincing himself that silence is the same as healing. Will Byers has done the opposite – he’s left, grown, and learned to love without apology.
When they meet again at Lucas and Max’s wedding, the truth Mike has spent years avoiding, finally demands to be faced – especially when he sees Will with someone else.
As he finds out, sometimes yearning doesn’t fade with time. It grows, until punches are thrown.

Next thing he knows, he's standing on Will's apartment's doorstep.

Summary
At first, Mike was unsure how to approach him when he got like this. But they’ve been living together for months now, never further than five feet apart in their dorm beds, so Mike’s learned what works and what doesn’t.
It works when he wakes Will like this, with gentle hands and words, telling him he’s safe. It works when he climbs into Will’s warm bed, turning him on his side and curling up against his back, an arm over his waist and his cheek pressed against his shoulder. They lie together like that until Will’s hiccupping gasps soften into steady breaths, until Mike feels him go limp in his arms and he knows he’s fallen back asleep. It always works.
or: Will has nightmares and Mike is the only one who can console him. Not even Will's boyfriend can. Mike takes great pride in this fact.

Summary
The party agrees to attend a Halloween party, but, of course, they can't just be normal about it.
A silly competition only makes things more complicated for Mike and Will, who use their costumes as an excuse to act in ways they never would have. Especially Mike, who would never, under any circumstances, kiss a boy. But here he is, anyway.
