Summary
Three weeks after his breakup, Will Byers finds out Carlton has already moved on.
Mike Wheeler takes it personally.
What starts as a dumb joke about fake dating spirals into faceless Instagram posts, café dates, fake flirting, and a relationship that starts feeling a little too real way too fast.
For Will, it’s a disaster waiting to happen—because he’s been in love with Mike for years, and pretending Mike is his boyfriend feels dangerously close to everything he’s ever wanted.
For Mike, it’s confusing in ways he can’t quite explain.
Especially when he realizes he likes the pretending far more than he should.
OR/
Mike and Will start fake dating after Will's breakup to try to make Carlton jealous.
Unfortunately, neither of them are very good at pretending.
