Summary
Blackbeard swivels on a heel, prowls closer, and says “Answer the question, Hands.” There’s a knife in his hand suddenly, appeared as quick as smoke. It’s the kind of knife, the kind of stance that says that knife may well soon be in the wall beside his head. He tilts his head, considering. “We could make juice.”
“That’s fuckin’ stupid,” Izzy says before he can even think.
“No, it’s what they’re for - what’re you for, Izzy? Taking fruits and not making ‘em up? That’s what’s fucking stupid.”
This conversation is getting off-track, Izzy thinks.

Summary
"And.
Will Byers was going to hell, because he let it happen.
Because he was a bad person, Will let it happen. He let Mike kiss him, again and again, as he felt his insides turn into boiling liquid, as his heart began to slam against his ribcage; arms half-raised, hesitating between touching Mike and gently pushing him away. He let Mike giggle - fuck – into his mouth, and –"
Or, they're at Jennifer Hayes' stupid the-world-is-ending party, and Mike kisses Will while blackout drunk.

Summary
Now, someone walked into the room. A boy, awkwardly standing at the side of his bed, looking over him worriedly. His hair was brown and scruffy, and he had big baby doe eyes and a yellow-and-blue horizontally-striped shirt like a cartoon character. The window was lighting him up like he was important to Mike’s narrative. The curtains are blue, thought Mike, this boy is light. I love metaphors. Maybe he was high on the pain meds. Upon seeing him, Mike felt a great affection, a great peace. Plus, he had long eyelashes. Mike almost giggled to himself. He was definitely a little high.
“Hi.” breathed Mike.
“Hi.” he said, hesitating.
“We’re friends?” Mike asked hopefully.
Or: During the Party's final battle with Vecna, Mike is gravely injured and loses his memories. He wakes up in a hospital only remembering a handful of inconsequential little things, like how much he loves a boy who seems like light.

Summary
“What exactly are you proposing here?”
“A - partnership,” Will gets out. “Of sorts. A safety net. Companionship. Shared resources,” he repeats, harping on that phrase because he feels like it’s the most logical, pragmatic argument he has in his arsenal. And then he swallows, and his voice loses some of its rehearsed steel and blunt practicality as he says, “Affection. Support. A shoulder to cry on without judgement, if you ever need it. A hand to hold.” Deep breath in. Hot blood rushing through his cheeks. “Kissing, if you want it. Sex, if you want it.”As the AIDS epidemic runs rampant, and the Party is about to leave for college, Will makes a decision. He will not spend his entire life wondering over what-ifs. He needs closure. He needs an answer, once and for all. So he offers Mike a proposition: pool their resources. Split costs. Lean on each other. Rely on each other. Be faithful to each other - and, thus, be shielded from the threat of AIDS entirely.
Mike is straight. He thinks. But Will has some very good points, and if Mike went there with anyone... it would be Will. Plus, this isn't forever. It's just a temporary precaution. A mutually beneficial arrangement, for however long they need. Right?- Language:

Summary
Will has always loved Mike’s hands.
Like the rest of him, they’re long - his fingers especially. Too many times, Will has found himself distracted by the sight of an entire soda can seeming to disappear in one of those hands. Will knows those hands, he knows the shape and angles of them - the rectangle of the palm, the web of tissue between the base of the fingers, the half-ovals of his nails, the knobs of the knuckles, the delicate pull of a tendon standing out in his wrist when he flexes a certain way. The barely-there dusting of hairs across the backs. The pink blush of fingertips, distinct from the freckled cream tones of palm and wrist, touched by a tan in the summer months. That one specific freckle just at the base of his thumb. Will’s sketchbooks are frequented by likenesses of Mike’s hands, his fingers.
It doesn’t help that he knows what those fingers can do.
But Will doesn’t just love Mike’s hands because they happen to be very skilled at getting him off. No, he loved them far before that. Before any of that. And he still does, simply by merit of their being part of Mike.

Mike doesn't like his appearance. Will wants to help out with that.Bookmarked by Zeppelin_Belaying

Summary
Mike has been acting weird lately - making excuses, being evasive, smiling to himself when he thinks no one is looking. And the hickeys are the nail in the coffin. Will knows Mike has a new girlfriend that he hasn't told anyone about, and he's determined to dig up clues about this secret lady-love. Not because he's jealous. Will has moved on from Mike - really. He refuses to spend his whole life pining over someone who's never going to want him. He just wants to find out about this mystery girl, to make sure she's right for Mike and she's treating him well.
But when Mike invites his lab partner from biology along to a party, Will is a tad distracted from his mission. Because Emmett is pretty clearly gay.
(Spoiler alert: Mike isn't dating a girl.)(Note: I know not many people care about OCs (and I totally understand), but I promise this is very byeler-centered - it's much more about Mike and Will than it is about Mike's bf, and it is endgame byeler.) (Also: prompt from Tumblr. Thank you, sorry it took like a year oops!)
