Summary
“Will, do you think I am boy crazy?”
Will blinks at her question, “Why do you ask?”
“This magazine says I am,” she says, holding it up, “But I still have more questions to answer. What is ‘falls fast’?”
Will opens his mouth. Closes it. Opens it again, “Um.”
Joyce calls down the hall, “Are you two even doing your homework? I’m hearing a lot of chatter!”
“Yes, Mom!” they answer in perfect unison, grinning at each other all the while.

Summary
"Daniel came in this afternoon," Will starts, looking up at the painting of the party so he doesn't have to look in Mike's dark eyes.
"I remember," Mike interrupts in agitation. "I wish he'd try to burn the place down just so I could ban him."
"Right.." Will continues, with a great amount of hesitancy now. "Well, he asked me on a date. A movie date, tomorrow night, and we're going to get dinner. But I didn't think that was safe, so he suggested we bring someone so we look like a friend group, but it would have to be someone we trusted and I trust you, so I guess I'm asking if you'll go on a date with me?"
Will pauses his rambling, breathing unevenly and waiting on Mike's answer. The other boy sits up slowly, keeping his back to Will and looking contemplative, if a bit unreadable.
This was his chance for a real relationship, a chance for all those teen firsts he'd never had, and he knows he can like Danny. He's not going to blow his chance.
/OR/ Will gets asked out on a date, and asks Mike to come along to make it less obviously a date to outside people. Ft. Dramatic 17 year olds, rain fight parallels, jealous Mike Wheeler, and unrequited affection (but its not between byler)

Summary
It's 1997 and the ghost of Mike Wheeler walks back into Will Byers' life twice in one day: first in a Midtown coffee shop, then as the writer assigned to his graphic novel. Eight years of awkward distance now have a deadline. Collaboration is a special kind of torture when the person you're building a world with is the one who broke yours.

Summary
Then the chair next to him shifts, and before Will can even turn to see, Mike is there, extending his hand. No trace of nervousness, not even a hint—just small, genuine smile tugging at his lips as his eyes lock onto Will’s. Instinctively, Will takes Mike’s hand before a word is spoken.
“Dance with me,” Mike says softly.
“Are you—”
“Yes,” Mike interrupts, just as Will starts to protest, about how they don’t have to if he’s not comfortable. “I want to, if you want it too,” he adds.
Will smiles so wide it makes his cheeks ache for a moment. He rises from his seat, and in that instant, all the worries and nervousness from earlier dissolve. Everything heavy, everything bad, fades the second Mike’s hand is holding his.

Summary
“Well, Mike seems to think it matters,” Robin mutters. “You should see how he’s staring at us. At you.”
Will shouldn’t look. He really shouldn’t. It’ll only make things worse. But the second she says it, his body moves without asking him first.
He turns toward where he saw Mike last.
El’s still talking, animated, but Mike’s eyes aren’t on her at all. They’re locked on him. Dark, unreadable, jaw clenched. It sends something white-hot and dizzying through Will’s chest.

Every time Mike and El break up, Mike acts like him and Will are dating, and Will doesn't know how much longer his heart can handle it.

Summary
“I don’t think that it has to mean that you’re into guys,” Lucas says. His words are accompanied by a casual shrug, and said in the tone of someone who has clearly already given this subject some thought. Will doesn’t know what to do with that information. Jump from a building, maybe. “I mean, we’d all get flustered if Spider-Man carried us in his arms.”
Mike points to him enthusiastically. “Thank you, Lucas.”
Dustin looks between the two of them, his eyes narrowed.
“...Would we?”
“Sure,” Mike concludes. “He’s attractive. That’s not a weird thing to think.”
Will just barely resists the urge to bang his head against the table. He feels Dustin’s eyes glued to his burning face, and sinks even further down his chair.
In which Mike tells Spider-Man that he has a crush on his best friend, and Will jumps to some very wrong conclusions.

Summary
NOVEMBER 6TH, 1986
In the three years since Will Byers went missing, the town of Hawkins has been under constant threat of the creatures from the Upside Down. But now, eight months after Vecna has ruptured a giant rift through the town of Hawkins, that threat is about to reemerge. Unaware of Vecna's true plans and trapped under a military quarantine, our heroes will not only be forced to face the greatest evil from the Upside Down, but also overcome impossible odds, in order to save their town, and each other, one last time.

Summary
The point is, Mike is pretty much content with going to the grave with his secret.
Or, at least, he used to think so, because, truthfully, foolishly, selfishly—
Will is smiling, his face flushed a lovely red, as he leans the slightest bit into her, with that soft carelessness that speaks of intimacy. On his side, too close to him, Robin Buckley shares a long look with him until they start giggling again, leaning against each other.
Mike hadn't contemplated the possibility of Will getting a girlfriend.
Or, Mike is jealous of Robin.

Summary
“Do I,” Will starts, haltingly, eyes darting back and forth between Mike’s own like he’s already searching for the answer, “make you nervous?”
Mike exhales, his shaky breath too loud in the space between them. It’s hard enough to sort through his own feelings where Will is concerned; it’s another thing entirely to attempt to explain them to Will himself. He looks at Will’s face, the planes of it softened in the darkness, and tries to draw forth the answer closest to the jumbled mass of the truth. “Yes,” is what he lands on, followed by, “maybe. I don’t know.”in which will visits mike at college and mike has an agenda that yields... mixed results

“What are you doing?” he asks, dumbfounded.
“Isn’t it obvious? I’m climbing through the window.”
“You know that people created the doors just for this precise purpose?” Will rolls his eyes, but cannot stop himself from smiling.
“Yes, but it’s not that romantic, isn’t it?” Mike smiles, putting his hands on the windowsill, voice breaking on the romantic.
“Romantic?” Will says, confused, not sure if he heard him correctly.
“Romantic,” Mike frowns, trying to push himself to climb into the window. Will is just standing there, expectedly, observing his failing attempts.
“You don’t have an athletic bone in your body,” Will rolls his eyes and leans against the window still. “Are you sure you don’t want to try the door?”
“And risk being caught by your mother? I don’t know about you, but I would rather not explain to her why I decided to drop by almost at midnight with the expectation to spend the night in her son’s bedroom."
Or: Will comes out. Lucas and Dustin handled it pretty well. Mike Wheeler's reaction is a bit harder to read.

“Hey Will?” Mike breaks the silence a moment later. He keeps drifting to the right, although their hands still keep them tethered together. Will pulls him back every time.
“Hey Mike?” Will parrots back.
“He… he’s not your… boyfriend, right?” The questions out before he can stop it, and it sounds far judgier than Mike intends.
He thinks it’s the wrong thing to say, because for a long moment, Will is quiet. Then he says, “No, Mike. Chance is… definitely not my boyfriend.”
Mike lets out a breath he didn’t know he was holding. “Good.”

Mike barks a laugh. “I’m, unfortunately, requesting your companionship Thursday night to see Child’s Play 2 with Will and I.”
She sends him a look of bewilderment. “How did I get dragged into your date with Will?”
“Y’know, it’s really great that I can count on such discretion from you and Lucas. Super awesome that you don’t tell each other everything.” Max ignores him and he continues on. “Well, I tried my best, but he kind of looked at me all-dumbfounded and wasn’t saying anything, so I panicked.”
“Well, duh. He’s liked you since, like, birth. Did you even give him enough time to answer?”
“Of course I gave him enough time to answer.” Mike grits out, voice tight. “I know how to have a fucking conversation with someone, Maxine.”

Dustin hums in agreement while he swallows his bite. “It’s like, against his factory settings to say no to you. What do you need him to do, model for you or something?”
Will shoves his face back into his hands. “I’m going to fail.”
Max rolls her eyes. “You’re not going to fail, you’re going to paint Mike.”
Will lifts his head up from his hands, eyes wide, and shakes his head. “You don’t understand.” He pleads with his awful, awful friends, voice low. “He’s been, he’s using my-he came out of my bathroom in just a towel last night.”
