Summary
“So whaddaya say, Michael? Care to make our dear Will the Wise’s dream of getting absolutely shitfaced at a real, honest-to-God party come true?”
Mike looks around at his friends. Dustin’s toothy grin, Lucas and Max’s fond smiles, eyebrows raised expectantly. Finally, into Will’s bright eyes. He’s looking up at him in such a way that Mike knows, deep down, would compel him to do even the worst of things, if he asked. He steals the quickest of glances at those lips, because he just can’t help himself.
Reluctantly, he turns to the group at large. One more eye roll and groan for good luck—“Okay, okay. But Lucas, we’re taking your car.”
Because if Will’s drinking tonight, so is Mike.

Summary
Everyone around Mike seems to have someone to kiss for New Years. Lucas has Max. Joyce has Hopper. Nancy has Jonathan. His mom has his dad (Ew.) Robin has… whoever she has.
And Mike wouldn’t say he feels left out but… fuck, okay, he feels left out. He wants someone to share that special, pivotal New Year’s kiss with too.
So the only logical thing for him to do is find a way to kiss the only other person without someone to kiss — his best friend.OR: Mike and Will share a New Year's kiss, and it completely lights up, crashes and burns.

Summary
And maybe it’s the way the streetlights flicker, or the way the town is too quiet, but Will suddenly feels the weight of everything pressing in on him again. The truth clawing at his throat. The things he wants to say but can’t.
He takes a breath.
“Mike.”
Mike turns to him immediately, eyes sharp, attentive.
Will grips his own wrist, fingers digging into his skin. He hesitates—just for a second—before finally, barely above a whisper, he asks:
“Can—” He swallows hard. “Can you promise me something?”

Summary
This is the first girl who’s ever asked Mike out — something he had, in the not too distant past, been terrified would never happen. And Mike just stands there, feeling like his dining hall dinner is about to crawl back up his esophagus.
Jeremy, Saint Jeremy, nudges him with an elbow. “He’s kind of private about it, but Mike actually has someone back home.”
Mike turns his head to look at Jeremy, expecting a knowing smile or the hint of a wink. But Jeremy actually looks sincere, which makes Mike’s eyebrows sink down, almost to the top of his nose.
“Will, right?” Jeremy supplies, forever trying to be helpful. “He’s at CalArts?”
