Summary
The first time it happens, Will classifies it as a little accident.
When he wakes, the morning sun is burning through the window onto their faces, and Mike’s cursing as he stands to close the curtains, stumbling all the way.
“Scoot over,” he grumbles, voice dry, and for a second Will can’t do anything other than sigh like a lovesick idiot. It’s a second too late for Mike, because he grumbles more words Will doesn’t catch under his breath and then physically pushes Will towards the wall to lay beside him, arm over Will’s middle. A second of silence passes, then Mike sighs, only to whine: “Fuck, my head hurts.”
Will can’t help it: he breaks down laughing, much to Mike’s offense.
---------------
Alternatively: five times Mike kissed Will, and one time Will kissed back.

Summary
Wherein Mike believes he’s being obvious, Will doesn’t know what he believes, and the pair of them could use a lesson or two in effective communication. Somehow all of this has both nothing and everything to do with five years' worth of school dances.
(This piece was written for the Stranger Things Big Bang)

Summary
Mike sighs, looking down at his hands. "I always thought I would end up with someone more similar to me, you know? Someone I can talk about, like, hobbies and music and stuff with, without them visibly losing interest halfway through.”
You have more in common with him than El, says the voice in Will’s head. He wonders, briefly, whether it would be weird to shove his face back into the pillow and scream.
Will is definitely not qualified to be giving out any relationship advice. For one, he's never actually dated anyone before. Second, one of the people in said relationship is his sister. And third, the other person is the guy he's sort of in love with. There's no possible way this could backfire. Right?

Summary
“We’re dating,” Mike says, and it takes every ounce of composure Will has not to choke on his next lungful of crisp, spring air.
The girl guarding the door to the party glances at their clasped hands, then back at Mike. “You’re…”
“Yup,” Mike cuts her off flatly, as if daring her to say anything else.
“Mike…” Will says his name under his breath, but he still says it like a warning.
“We don’t like to be so public about it but, well.” Mike lifts their clasped hands, shaking them at the door girl like they’re one giant fist. “You drive a hard bargain.”
Will raises his voice. “Michael.”
Mike turns to roll his eyes at him. “William, baby,” he scoffs, squeezing Will’s hand in his. “It's Valentine’s Day. Don’t be such a buzzkill.”
