Summary
"What are you… are you, like, okay?"
It's a pretty normal question, even if her delivery was a little bit clumsy, and Mike should give a really normal answer in return.
"Do you think we had a bad father?"
That's not a normal answer. That's a terrible answer. Jesus fucking Christ.
Nancy sits down beside him, putting the Smirnoff down on the table so heavily he can feel the thunk through the floor, and sighs deeply.
"When did you have this epiphany?"
"What?"
"When did you realise Ted sucks?"

Summary
“Sure, dude,” Lucas said, rolling his eyes like he always did when Mike said something stupid.
“Wha-,” Mike’s jaw dropped open. “I’m serious!”
“And I’m Barbara Streisand,” Dustin snorted. “You know April Fool’s day isn't for another seven months, right?”
“I don’t know,” Lucas pauses, looking thoughtful. Mike held his breath. This was it, this was when they’d realize he was serious. “You do kinda look like Barbara Streisand.”
…
Lucas and Dustin don’t believe Mike when he comes out as gay, so he goes to a gay bar to prove it. Enter: Will Byers.

Summary
“I—I would tell you.” He says reflexively, but he doesn’t take it back. The words are true. He hears Mike’s breath catch and his hand twitches. “I just wouldn’t want you to– to pity me. Or see me… differently.”
“I would never.” The response is instant. “You’re strong. I’d never pity you. I… god, how do I explain?” Mike turns his body to face Will head on and grabs his hand properly. Will feels a shiver run through him, but he squeezes back all the same. “I’m sorry. I’m so fucking sorry, for what you’ve been through, whatever it is. But it would never, never make me look at you differently.”
“Promise?”
“I promise."
Or: Will breaks down after the events at the MAC Z and trusts Mike to help him pick up the pieces.
