Summary
“I mean it,” Mike says quietly, looking down at his lap, and oh, their hands are still touching, so he gives Will’s a gentle squeeze. “I mean it. We’ll stop him.”
“Together,” Will adds.
“Yeah, together,” Mike repeats, and that’s really all that matters.

Summary
“We are more similar than you realize, Will. Both of us were...sensitive children. We were different. Seen as freaks. But we are special. You are special.”
Will takes a shallow breath, tries to swallow his nerves. He speaks flatly. “And?”
Henry blinks, seemingly surprised by Will’s coldness. “I chose you that day, you know.”
And Will sees himself, small and alone, riding his bike through the darkness. He sees the silhouette of something tall and not-human. He sees himself crashing his bike. Running home. But the creature unlocks the door. It follows him into the shed. It gets him.
“It was you,” Will whispers, a hand coming up to the back of his neck. The monster that took him. The possession. The visions. “It’s always been you.”
(or the one where will’s connection to the upside down is a crucial part of season 4 instead of him getting sidelined, and how it changes everything)

Summary
“When I saw you… there. From the Demo’s perspective. You were gonna –” Will’s voice breaks, and Mike’s fingers twitch where they rest on the fabric of Will’s jeans. There’s no conscious thought process, but he gently rubs back and forth. “I thought of you,” Will whispers, breath catching slightly.
“Of us. When… um, when we first met, and you asked me to be your friend. I thought of that and… you know. It happened."
Mike’s eyebrows lift. Me. I did it. “Oh.”
Will glances and seems to realise all at once how much he just revealed.

Summary
“How’s your boyfriend?” Mike asked, screwing up his brow as if he didn’t know his name, as if he didn’t fucking hate him. “Carlton or something?”
“We broke up,” Will said. “About a year ago, actually.”
Mike sat up straight, so quickly he nearly knocked his beer bottle off the side of the building. He fumbled for it, catching it at the last second. Will pretended he didn’t see, though he didn’t turn his head fast enough for Mike to miss his grin.
Mike and Will return to Hawkins for their high school reunion.

Summary
Does Carlton gel his hair? Mike wanted to ask. Do you run your fingers through it when you kiss him? Do you pull on it when you–
What came out was: “No, it’s okay. I trust your opinion with stuff like that.”
That seemed to be the right thing to say because Will blushed hot and ducked his head slightly, giving him the same frantic, flustered look he’d become used to before Will went to college and got a boyfriend and became so unbearably pretty it kind of choked the life out of Mike to be alone with him.
Will won't shut up about his new boyfriend. Mike is totally Normal about it.
