    Summary

    “Guys, Mike’s not like me, he just can’t name characters.” They both give him a pointed look, clearly not believing a word. “I’m serious, every character is a reference to someone we know.”
    “Are they now?” Dustin raises an eyebrow at him.
    “Yes!” Will is perhaps a bit exasperated, “Stephen and Jay are clearly Steve and Robin, and James is Hopper,” at the blank look they give him, he clarifies, “his first name is Jim.”
    This somehow only makes Lucas seem more unimpressed, “okay, but you do see how that’s more suspicious right?”
    “What? That Mike can’t come up with names?”
    “No,” Lucas shakes his head and clasps Will in the shoulder, “that the first name Mike thought to cannibalize when coming up with a boyfriend for you was his own”.

    The party grows closer after Will moves in with the Wheelers, picking up D&D again. It all goes well until Mike introduces a new character, Sir. Gabriel Whepler, whose sole purpose seems to be flirting with Will.

    Summary

    “So… how did you know you liked boys?” Mike randomly asks Will one afternoon.

    “How did I what?” Will swivels his head toward Mike, who’s looking back at him expectantly over the top of his comic book. He’s got on that thinking-face he does— the one that tells Will that Mike has definitely been staring at him for the past ten minutes minimum, trying to wrap his brain around some idea or another, like he’s working out a particularly difficult puzzle.

    “Like, what do you like about them? Oh, come on, don’t look at me like that,” he complains, and Will assumes he must be making a face somewhere between skeptical and bewildered. “We never talk about it. Why is it boys for you?”


    Mike wants to know why Will likes boys— in a completely straight, heterosexual way.

    Aka Byler talking about boys for 7k words.

    Summary

    “Oh. I wish I could talk to her about so much, like,” he swipes a hand over his face, “before things got real, she was training all the time for her crawl, or she was hiding out with Hop. I never got to sit down with her. Every time I see that painting—awesome painting—I wonder why I never thanked her for commissioning it. I mean, it was…”

    Mike trails off, and it allows a few seconds for Will’s heart to sink into his feet and drag him into the dirt.

    Or, Mike finds out the truth (paintinggate).

    Summary

    At first, Mike was unsure how to approach him when he got like this. But they’ve been living together for months now, never further than five feet apart in their dorm beds, so Mike’s learned what works and what doesn’t.

    It works when he wakes Will like this, with gentle hands and words, telling him he’s safe. It works when he climbs into Will’s warm bed, turning him on his side and curling up against his back, an arm over his waist and his cheek pressed against his shoulder. They lie together like that until Will’s hiccupping gasps soften into steady breaths, until Mike feels him go limp in his arms and he knows he’s fallen back asleep. It always works.

    or: Will has nightmares and Mike is the only one who can console him. Not even Will's boyfriend can. Mike takes great pride in this fact.

    Summary

    Will blinks again. Their noses bump. Mike is so close. “I, um. What?” he hisses out, voice hoarse. It can’t be- there’s no way Mike means-

    Mike looks mortified, but he’s also not moving away. “Do you think there's a universe,” he repeats, slow and shaky, “where you and I are- you know.”

    “Mike,” Will says, verging on exasperated, but too shaky to fully accomplish the tone he’s going for. He can feel Mike’s heart racing where it’s pressed against his own. “Use your words.”

    “I want to kiss you,” Mike blurts, dazed and harried. A strand of hair falls into his eyes, and it tickles Will’s cheek with their proximity.

    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

    “Wait,” Lucas takes another glance at Will, specifically at the sweater he’s wearing. “Is that Mike’s?”

    Here’s the other thing about the last eight or so months of Will Byers’ life: he’s been spending his nights, on and off, secretly, semi-occasionally, very frequently, kissing Mike Wheeler.

    He’s confused about it too, don’t even worry.

    Summary

    When Will needs to get his thoughts out of his head, he writes a letter he never intends to send. He addresses it to Mike, and tells him everything.

    Feeling lighter than he has in weeks and buoyed by the adrenaline of writing it all out, Will acts on an impulse and ends the letter with, "If you’d be willing to give me a chance, I’d be really happy to date you. If you’re open to trying it, please meet me in Castle Byers this Saturday at 2:00pm. I’m not asking for any promises, I’m not asking for forever or anything like that; all I’m asking is that you give me a chance. Come if you want; if not, I completely understand, no hard feelings, and I’ll never, ever mention this again."

    He forgets all about the letter, and the distinctive red envelope he stowed it in, until he turns around to find it missing. Now, Will has to think of some way to stop Mike from reading that letter - or should he wait at Castle Byers on Saturday at 2:00pm and pray for a miracle?

    Summary

    The very foundation of the universe has cracked. No, not the Upside Down; something even more catastrophic. Something so unbreakable that its destruction can lead to the end of life as they know it.

    “I just can’t believe they’re fighting,” Lucas muses with a sigh.

    “This is a bad one,” El emphasizes. “They fought in California too, but it wasn’t like this.”

    “In the ten years I’ve known them, I’ve never once seen them sit more than six inches away from each other. This is worse than the summer of ‘85.”

    When Mike and Will get in an argument, the Party comes up with a plan to get them back together again (as purely-platonic friends, of course).

    Summary

    Will leans in, lips twisting into a smirk. “What’s your beef with Robin?” he asks, amused. He’s looking up at Mike through his lashes, his face dimly lit by the basement lamp.

    “I…” Mike trails off.

    Will quirks a brow. “Mike?”

    Mike blinks rapidly. He shifts in his seat, awkward and obvious. “You two have been like… best friends.”

    Summary

    “You’re thinking,” Will says, skating a finger down the line of Mike’s nose, under his eye, over his cheekbone, then resting, finally, just at the corner of his lips– “about me.”

    Oh, Jesus. Mike’s throat is very, very dry. “What?”

    Will opens his eyes – slow, a little hesitant – and smiles. “You are,” he says, way, way too smug for Mike’s liking. “You’re turning red!”

    “Shut up,” Mike mutters, and Will’s smile grows. “You– I’m just nervous!”

    It should be illegal for someone to look this pleased with themselves. “Yeah?” Will says quietly, index finger still hovering at the corner of Mike’s mouth, thumb pressed gently under his chin. “I make you nervous?”

    Mike thinks Will might be psychic. (Kind of.) Will is being very irritatingly vague about the whole thing.

    It’s winter in Hawkins, and Mike and Will aren’t speaking anymore. Living in Mike’s house, Will tries to be invisible, spending most of his time in the basement.

    Then the power goes out — and if there’s one thing he dreads more than facing Mike, it’s the cold.

    “So I stopped fighting. I stopped being scared of the connection. And then I just… I thought about what I had to protect. My mom. Jonathan.” Another pause. Will's voice drops even lower. “You.”

    Mike’s heart performed a slow, heavy roll in his chest. “…You thought about me?”

    Will looked at him like he’d asked if water was wet. A faint, almost sad smile appeared. “Of course I did.”

    It feels stupid, throwing pebbles up at Kris’s window. Like something from some lame old rom-com.

    Maybe it is stupid, definitely is, but shitty music is blasting from the living room, and there’s no way Kris could sleep through that. And.

    Susie doesn’t, exactly, want to go home tonight.

    “I don’t like my hair being touched.”

    That’s certainly news to Akira. There’s something heavy in the way Goro says it, the words weighted with some meaning that Akira can’t even begin to understand.

    “It never seems to bother you when I touch it.”

    “...I don’t mind when it’s you,” Goro admits, voice quiet.

    or;

    Akira's been best friends with Goro since he was ten, and they've had their fair share of stupid bets and high-stakes challenges. Even so, when the next contingency prize is having Goro grow his hair out, Akira gets more than he bargained for.

    His own birthday? Is that kind of thing even possible?

    "How so?" Ivan inquired, turning to try and study Till's full expression. He looked... considering. Deep in thought, like he was working on a composition or a drawing that wasn't turning out exactly right.

    "Just pick a day and say it's your birthday. No one could argue with you if no one knows when it is."

    Summary

    “Ooh, ooh! I want to go to that huge curry bowl looking place we passed on the way here!”

    “What? How didja get curry outta Dome town?” Ryuji blurted, completely ignorant of how loud he was yelling at Goro’s not-cat (and Goro by proxy) in the middle of the T.V. station hallway.

    “It looks like a giant bowl of curry!” Morgana the not-cat exclaimed, digging his claws into Goro’s shoulder as he leaned closer to growl at Ryuji.

    “Yeah, maybe if the bowl was upside down,” Ryuji fired back, flicking Morgana’s nose.

    Morgana yowled, but it was Goro who hissed louder.

    “Mona, your claws,” Goro said between clenched teeth.

    “Oh, sorry,” Morgana said, retracting them from Goro’s now stinging skin, sounding not very sorry at all.

    “You won’t find any curry at Dome town I’m afraid,” a low, smooth voice interjected.

    All four of them whipped around. Standing in the junction where the two hallways met was a boy—his age, or perhaps a little younger than Goro himself if he had to guess—looking like he had just stepped out of a magazine. He leaned casually against the wall in an all black ensemble, watching them with interest.
