Summary
Thomas has always been prone to bouts of melancholy, since he was a child. Unfortunately, that particular problem stays with him even in death. What’s worse, there’s the addition of physical pain from the blasted bullet wound.
Two hundred years of pain later, he gets some help.
Basically, I’m convinced that Thomas has depression and I want to write some hurt/comfort about it.

DAVE: you should meet him someday i can take you home with me, but he would get soooooo jealous seeing you cause youre such a cutieHuh? Is this some kind of joke? It’s not like Strider’s above that sort of thing, but on the other hand, he seems too far removed from his typical irony antics to just be joking.

Summary
"Mike," Will says quietly, with the intention of saying something like 'it's okay' or 'crazy together' or 'you can tell us', and none of the things the jealous, bitter part of him is yelling, which are all variations of 'why wouldn't you tell me' and 'what could possibly be wrong and why are you so weird about everything, good Lord,' but the warring intentions cancel each other out and he winds up falling silent, simply tightening his grip on Mike's shoulder and widening his eyes meaningfully.
Mercifully, this seems to help anyway, because Mike takes a shaky breath and gives him a small smile, eyes locked on Will's as he straightens his spine and shifts a little on the couch. "I- um," he starts, and Will gives him a small nod. "I like boys," he chokes out, still staring right at Will.
Will freezes.

Summary
Will stirred sleepily to the sound of voices and a heavy weight beside him.
“Whazup?” he mumbled, lifting his head off the pillow and blinking in the darkness.
“Shhh, it’s fine,” replied Mike’s soft voice, breaking through the stillness that had followed Will’s muffled question, “I’ve got this one. You can go back to sleep.”
Mike and Will take turns staying up with Holly, who has begun to have nightmares about the monsters in Hawkins. Things take a curiously domestic turn.

Summary
“So,” Mike starts, drawing out the word, and Will turns to him. “Any ideas on how to spend the next fifteen minutes?”
It’s teasing, suggestive when he wiggles his eyebrows, and it’s so unexpected that Will lets out a surprised laugh, unabashed, and it’s so easy, how the tension falls away, and it’s only them again.
“You’re ridiculous,” Will shakes his head, smiling, but Mike looks proud of himself anyway.
He points out, “I don’t hear you complaining.”
Will scoffs, nudging at him with an elbow. “Whatever,” he smoothly replies. Mike grins.
Will, Mike, and the numerous attempts at their first kiss.

Summary
“And - and we’ll go to Scoops Ahoy and I’ll get you your favourite ice cream.”
This is all starting to suspiciously look very close to a date, but Will brushes it off - it wouldn’t be the first time he’s read too much into things.
Mike starts fidgeting with his hands, when no answer comes.
“You - you know, like a proper date? I know I’ve done something wrong, because you’re not speaking to me, but we haven’t been on one in ages, so. And then, I was hoping - maybe - if it goes well, I was - uh. I was going to ask if I can kiss you again. Properly, I mean. It’s fine if not though!”
Will doesn’t hear anything else Mike might say afterwards, because his brain short-cuts.
or
Mike confesses to Will - then kisses him. They don't talk about it, but maybe they should.

Summary
“Are you, like… are you trying to break up with me?”
Will gapes at him. There is no possible way Mike just said that to him. Penciling in a mental note to get his hearing checked in the distant future, he continues to look at him, at the hurt shimmering in his pupils, the slight wobble of his upper lip as he turns away.
Will has a boyfriend. Will doesn’t know he has a boyfriend. Chaos ensues.

Summary
“But it was like—looking at a piece of art, you know? Like, just looking at someone and thinking, how do they even exist? That level of… awe, almost.”
Will thinks about Mike in the back of Argyle’s van. About the jut of his cheekbone, the glimmer in his eye. The curve of his lips. Still, even through all that—hiding something. Just like Jonathan said. A beautiful mystery, wrapped up in one of the most complicated packages Will’s ever seen. “Yeah,” he murmurs, resting his chin in his palm. “Yeah, I get it.”
“Wheelers, huh?” Jonathan murmurs, with a slight smile. “Got some kinda spell over us, man.”
“God, tell me about it,” Will groans.

mid-apocalypse, will comes out to his brother, then makes a move on mike. all in all, it goes better than expected.

Summary
"So," Will says, swallowing and forcing back the pettiness coating the inside of his throat, "There is a girl, then?"
Mike glances away sheepishly, blushing and raising a hand to rub nervously at the back of his neck. "Um. Not exactly."
Will frowns. What else could it possibly be, he wonders, what with the hickeys and the evasive behavior and the coming home late, all of which Will is totally normal and not annoyed about. Maybe it was - he winces at the thought - a hookup that ended poorly, or a series of unrelated incidents, or-
"What is it, then?" he asks, if only to distract himself from this obviously destructive train of thought, and Mike meets his eyes nervously.
"There's not a girl," Mike repeats, sounding a little pained, "But there is- a boy."
The world stops.
In which Mike has a boyfriend who is not Will, and Will is totally, super, very much okay with this turn of events.

Summary
“Jonathan…” His voice was high and resigned. “You know there’s no way I could do that. There’s no point—he likes girls. Plus, he’s going through a break up. And all this Vecna bullshit…” He sighed heavily, voice crumpling up like a tin can the more he spoke. “The last thing he needs is me burdening him further with my lame crush.”
In a blink Mike snatched up the walkie with trembling hands, shoving the plastic brick’s speaker hard against his ear.
So. El was right. Will did have a crush after all.In which Mike hears something he shouldn't.

“Yeah, you said that but I’m having trouble understanding.”
“What’s there to understand?” Will asks him.
Mike contemplates, then says “Why you’re so quick to defend me.”
Oh, he’s so fucked. Beyond fucked, even. If there’s such a thing.
