Summary
“I- I don’t like girls.”
Mike freezes in the doorway and feels the air catch in his lungs. Whether that’s on purpose or not, he’s unaware. Maybe blocking his airway is his body's way of doing him a favor, making him invisible to this conversation that he was very much not invited to. He takes a stumbling step back as quietly as he possibly can, which is difficult in his growing state of panic. He needs to make his escape immediately before being spotted, but all too soon, it’s too late. Joyce redirects her gaze to the doorway at the sound of his shuffling footsteps, and the shock in her expression inevitably prompts his best friend to turn around.

Alternatively, a rewrite starting at the coming out scene and attempting to implement my favorite fan theories and fix the hot mess the Duffer Brothers created.

Summary
-----
"Is a kiss a possible signal or...start of a...snowball?"
"A kiss isn't a signal nor a snowball." Will frowned immediately, confusion knitting his brows together, his mouth turning down at the corners.
"What is it then?" The question came out quiet, almost afraid of the answer, but needing it desperately anyway.
"An avalanche."

Summary
"You're- You're not a bad memory. You're not something I want to forget, and trust me, Will," Mike said breathlessly, almost laughing, "there's a lot of shit I want to forget."
Hawkins is still full of ghosts, and on the night before Lucas and Max's wedding six years after graduation, old wounds reopen, memories that were forgotten resurface and Will Byers learns that distance and getting older doesn't mean outgrowing your first love - it just teaches you to lie about it.

Summary
January 1990. The world is changing, but Mike Wheeler feels stuck in the same old loop. When Will calls from his new life in New York City to announce he has a boyfriend, Mike’s world tilts on its axis. He tells himself he’s just being a protective best friend, but the bitter taste in his mouth says otherwise. A spontaneous weekend trip to the city was supposed to bridge the distance between them, but between the neon lights of Manhattan and the quiet corners of Will’s dorm, Mike is forced to face the truth: he doesn't just miss his best friend. He’s starving for a version of Will he’s never allowed himself to have.
