Summary
The thing was, Will loved Mike. He had always loved Mike. Loving Mike felt less like a choice and more like gravity. Something he’d learned to live with, something constant and unyielding, even when he’d tried, desperately, to move on.
“Your… your what?” Will managed finally. His voice sounded distant to his own ears, thin and unsure.
Mike swallowed. “My boyfriend,” he repeated, a little quieter this time, like maybe if he said it softly enough, it wouldn’t sound as insane. “I need you to be my boyfriend."
💕💕💕💕
After coming out, Mike asks Will to pretend to be his boyfriend for a trip home to Hawkins. It seems simple enough.
Except pretending is harder when you’ve already been in love for years.

Summary
"Why do you keep saying that?"
"Saying what?"
"That you're a virgin," Will says forcefully, like he's in pain.
"Because...I am?"
"No, Mike. You're not."
Everything changes at Stacey's party between Mike and Will, who share more than just a first kiss. But by morning, Mike has forgotten their special night. Will, thinking Mike is taking the easy route and pretending their night hadn't happened, moves to New York and packs his forever crush in hopes he can move on. But the boxed up feelings twist and turn into hate toward his former best friend and he vows never to speak to him again.
Mike can't remember Stacey's party for the life of him. But he does remember one thing: telling Will how he truly feels. But now Will has left town and Mike is left to believe it's because his feelings aren't reciprocated.

Summary
Summer break, two years after graduating high school. Will and Mike almost kiss, and everything changes. They find themselves on a journey together after a mysterious clue. They have no choice but to finally confront what’s been going on between them for years.
“I keep showing up,” Mike says. His voice doesn’t break, but he feels like it should. “Even when you try to throw me away.”
Will flinches, and Mike hates himself for it immediately.
“I didn’t- ” Will says, and his eyes drop. “I didn’t throw you away.”
Mike’s mouth twitches. Not a smile. Something sadder. “You threw the letters away.”- Language:

Summary
Will doesn't know how he’s ended up in this situation, truly. He’s toying with the possibility that he actually tripped over and died when he got up to answer the door and this is some pre-death hallucination, because there’s no way that he’s really in a situation where Mike Wheeler is sitting on his bed and asking Will to kiss him.
“You- you want me to what?” Will chokes out once he’s stopped coughing – because Mike had chosen to ask that particular question when Will was taking a sip of water, and he almost fucking drowned on it.
“Kiss me,” Mike repeats, confirming that Will wasn’t hallucinating the first time. “For practice.”or;
