“Oh Michael! I have been looking for you” A voice shouted from behind mike
“What?” Mike had gone out to take an piss and the woods and now he was being harrassed by this random ass-
Holy. Shit. Right in front of mike was- what looked like will in his….will the wise outfit? But he looked different. And he had just seen him inside like 5 minutes ago inside so it couldn't possibly be him…right?
“WIll? What the hell are you doing?”
“Michael! It's me, William!”
“Mike? Are you okay you've been out here for a while-” A voice shouted from behind him, and he recognised the voice. Nancy.
“Shit um Nance, can you come here really quickly?” Mike asked
“Yea? Whats u- Holy shit”
Mike could've sworn he saw her pupils dilate, but her jaw physically dropped
“Who the hell are you? Why do you look like that? Will-”
“Nancy, calm down.Its will…..but it's not?”
“Why are you talking about me like I'm not right here? Michael it's me.”
“Okay. ‘Whoever the hell you are’ come inside with us” Nancy said
This strange man started to walk back with them, and while he did Mike took the opportunity to admire his features. He had a scar across his face, not like will. But his hair was almost identical to wills. He had a long purple robe on and a pointed hat. He had deep brown eyes, just like Will. And he would never admit this out loud, but he was beautiful, just like will.
Maybe he was lying. Maybe this was will. I mean they had fought monsters, is the idea of someone traveling to an alternate dimension really that shocking.
When they opened the door to the WSQK the first person to notice them was Max.
“Holy shit.”
“Maxine! Why are you dressed like that? Nevermind that. Tell these people it's me. William Byers. For some reason they refuse to believe me”
The next people to notice were Dustin and Lucas, who were just as shocked, if not more, as max.
“Oh my god.” Lucas said
“Son of a bitch.” Dustin said
This ‘Will’ guy seemed to recognise them as well
“Why are you guys dressed like that”
“Dressed like what? I could as you the same question” Dustin sneered
Lucas rolled his eyes
“I have a theory” Mike said
The 5 of them surrounded him as he explained how this could be a cause of Vecna, or even a tear in time and space, but they needed to get him back because clearly he is not from our world.
“Wait. So you're saying you are not my michael?”
“No. I'm Mike from this world. ‘Michael’” mike mocked “Is probably somewhere else in this world, hopefully somewhere near here.”
The next person to walk in the room was Will.
“Who the fuck are you?” Will said. It had been a while since Mike heard him curse. He knew he hated it because of his dad
“I am William. I assume you are the ‘Will’ in this situation?”
Will's eyes looked like they were going to pop out of his skull.
“Will c’mere” Mike said
WIll walked toward him and mike grabbed his wrist, heart hammering, and pulled him in the room next door.
He explained what happened and his theory, and wills mouth continued to gape at him
And then will started to laugh. And so did Mike. They laughed so much they fell over on top of each other, they continued to laugh.
“Holy shit Mike!” WIll said in between laughs
Mike sat down next to Will. Their thighs brushed and that small touch caused Mike's breath to hitch.
Mike stole a glance at Will, who was already looking at him. Will put his hand on Mike's thigh.
Holy shit.
Why was it so hard to breathe?
Mike wasn't supposed to feel like this. Not with another boy. Not with will.
Mike placed his hand on wills and intertwined their fingers. Stealing another glance at Will, but this time he lingered. He looked over his features. His nose. His eyes. His lips. Those beautiful full lips that mike would love to k-
Holy shit
Was will leaning forward? Was mike? Yes he was. They were both leaning forward. They got so close that Mike could swear he felt Will's hot breath on his top lip. They continued to lean forward when-
Shit.
The door swung open and Mike shot away from Will, unintertwining their fingers and backing away from him.
“Guys” Jonathan OF COURSE it was Jonathan. “Your gonna wanna come see this”
“Okay. yea” Will shot up from where he was sitting and what looked like ran out of the room.
Jeez. Did he not like that? What the hell was that?
Mike followed and Jonathan went behind him. Right in front of him was-
Holy shit
It was him. It was Mike. But he had armor on. He looked kinda- good. Maybe he should try out that hairstyle. Maybe will would like it?
“Oh my god” Mike said,
“Hello” Mike? Said “You must be- well me”
“Yea…”
They began to talk, and it turns out this mike was an asshole. Well not really, but will seemed to like him and enjoy his presence more than him so yea, he was an asshole. But it was different from the way the other will, from his world, looked at him. Like he wanted to kiss him quiet.
God how Mike wanted to do that to his Will. He almost did.
Wait.
What?
He…wanted to kiss him. He was…. No. He dated El? That should be enough. He can't like boys. He can't like Will.
“Um I need to go to the bathroom I-I’ll be right back”
Mike shot up out of his seat and ran for the bathroom.
Jesus christ he was a mess.
He locked the door and looked in the mirror.
God he felt like he was going to-
Oh no.
Mike just threw up. Into the sink. He turned the water on to clear it out and splashed some cold water on his face
Jesus christ
He needed to get a hold of himself.
He took a few breaths. Thought of Will.
Maybe he was gay. I mean was that such a bad thing? WIll was. He loved will- He cared for will. Will was gay. Maybe he was. Like that time he thought about kissing david bowie. Or when he jacked off to his poster of Tom Cruise.
Whatever. He would deal with this later. Right?
Mike's breaths quickened. His eyes started to tear up. He couldn't breathe.
No no no not right now I can't do this.
Finally, Mike broke down. He started to cry. Like full on shoulder shaking sobs. He couldn't breathe, but he began to accept that. Maybe he didn't deserve to breathe
There was a knock on the door.
Shit
“Mike? Are you okay? You have been in there for a while.” It was Jane.
Shit. No. Not now. Especially not her.
Mike stood up and decided
Well im already fucked so-
And opened the door
They stood there looking at each other for what felt like forever until Mike broke the silence.
“Im sorry El im so sorry i tried not to but i really cant” Mike fell to the ground sobbing, shoulders shaking
“Mike, what are you sorry for?” She closed the door and sat down with him, wrapping her arms around his shoulder
“I-I can't tell you….” Mike looked up at her
“Is it will?”
Mike nodded
They just sat there, mike crying into her shoulder in the deafening silence.
“It's okay….”
That just made mike cry harder
—--------------------------------
After what felt like an eternity, Mike pulled away, eyes puffy and face red.
“Can you tell me what happened” Jane asked
“We…almost kissed. It felt wrong, but also so right.”
“Mike…It isn't wrong. You know, when we were dating, I kinda figured you had a crush on will-”
“Wait…when we were dating?”
“Yea. I always kinda figured.”
“Oh.”
Jane pulled him up.
“Come on. Wash your face. They're going to get worried.”
Mike nodded. He splashed cold water on his face and took a few deep breaths.
He left the bathroom, ready to face the nightmare of his dreams. Will
“How long were we gone for?”
“At least 30 minutes. Cmon mike lets go”
They made their way to the front entrance, where everyone was gathered. Okay. This wasn't so ba-
Shit
There was will. He looked so-
“Alright its getting late, we can finish planning how to get you two back to your world tomorrow” Hopper announced
Night was always….Interesting.
Mike and Will had to share a room. Which should be normal-in retrospect, but after everything that happened, not so much anymore.
Mike quickly raced up the stairs, desperate to get to the bathroom before everyone else. But while he was running he noticed something, The other mike and will were ... .close. Too close. They were still best friends in this universe, right? Mike could've sworn they were holding hands, but he decided to ignore it and run into the bathroom.
He quickly brushed his teeth and got changed, desperate not to run into will. Not after everything that just happened
Mike started to get under the covers when he remembered. Shit.
He left his walkman in the room other mike and will were staying in
Well fuck
He really did not want to have to deal with other mikes anymore, but whatever.
On his way to the room, who better to bump into than will.
“Oh- Um- Hi” Mike fumbled out
“Oh. Hey. I was just- I forgot something-”
“Y-yea me too”
They both walked to the room in silence
When they made their way to the room, they both reached for the doorknob, so their hands brushed. Mike immediately pulled back, heart beating out of his chest.
Will opened the door, and there was Mike and Will, but they weren't just holding hands this time, they were much, much closer. This time Will's hands were in Mike's lap, and they were there, kissing. This Mike was kissing Will and Will was kissing Mike back. Mike and Will stood there, gawking. But the other Mike and Will didn't even notice them. Obviously not because Will began to climb into Mike's lap and straddle him and all you could hear was there quick gasps and light moans-
Will quietly shut the door. They quickly glanced toward each other and silently made the decision to head back to their room.
The second the door shut behind will, he broke down laughing
Mike started laughing too
“Holy….shit…” will muttered between laughs
“Oh my god….” Mike spat out
“Were they….?” Will began but soon trailed off
“I think they were…” That just made Mike laugh harder.
Mike and Will both fell onto the bed, laughing.
Eventually their laughter died down and they turned to face each other
“So.” Will said
Mike could hear his pulse vibrating through his veins. He could point out every feature on Will's face. That mole right above of his lips. God mike could write a sonnet about his lips.
“Shall I compare thees lips to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more soft:
Thous lips do make me want to kiss the hell out of them in May,
And his lips softer than my wildest dreams;
Sometime too hot he shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature’s changing course untrimm'd;
But thy eternal softness shall not lay on me (anywhere),
Nor lose possession of his tongue in my mouth
Nor shall death brag thou wander’st in his kisses,
When in eternal makeout sessions:
So long as men can breathe or (his) lips can kiss,
So long lives his lips, and this gives life to thee.”
Sorry William Shakespeare
“So” Mike said
It was quiet. But not a bad quiet. Like the kind you would sleep to. With the love of your life. God Mike was hopeless. He continued to stare into Will's big, beautiful eyes as Will stared back.
Mike slowly crept closer.
At this point he could feel Will's hot breath on the tip of his nose.
Mike closed his eyes as he pushed his face forward, clashing his lips into wills.
All mike felt was will slowly tense and then melt into the kiss
Thank god
Mike slowly melted with him, moving his lips around. Will slowly shifted so he was soon on top of mike (OH MY GOD) and slipped his tongue into mikes mouth.
Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end, and will soon pulled away.
“Mike” Will began
“Will I-”
“Are you sure you want this?”
MIke quickly nodded and immediately dove back for his mouth, this time he let his hands explore his body as his tongue explored his mouth.
Will moaned into Mike's mouth, causing Mike to let out a low hungry growl. Mike quickly flipped their positions, making Will go under Mike which caused will to let out a small gasp. The sudden shift caused Mike's hips to roll. The sudden increase in friction caused both Mike and Will to let out a low moan into each other's mouths. Mike let out a low hum as he unbuckled both their belts and slid down their pants. Now it was light fabric on light fabric action.
Will let out a soft whimper
“God Mike-”
Hearing Will saying his name like that couldve just sent him over the edge.
Mike continued to thrust on top of him.
“Please- Mike!”
Mike tore off both their boxers, causing both their hard lengths to spring free. Now the friction was oh so good. God Mike was a virgin but he never expected something so simple could feel so good. Mike continued to rub their hard erections together, allowing them both to moan at the friction.
“God Mike im gonna-”
Will couldn't even finish his sentence before he came all over him. Mike didnt last long after that.
Mike rolled off from on top of him.
“That was-” Will began
“I love you” Mike blurted out
