    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

    The anniversary effect is very real; they’ve all felt it. Especially Will, as another shiver racks through him, stronger than the last. This time, Will takes a step closer to Mike and presses their shoulders together. Whether it’s for body heat or comfort, Mike doesn’t know, but he isn’t going to complain.

    If he can’t protect Will from the horrible memories and sleepless nights, he can at least protect him from the autumn breeze. He quickly tugs off his leather jacket and holds it out for Will to take, who looks down at it in surprise.

    “What?” he asks, glancing between it and Mike, like he doesn’t know what to do with it.

    “You’re cold,” Mike states, no room for question. He knows that Will would lie about it if he could.

    Mike and Will attempt to navigate Halloween together while struggling with the anniversary effect.

    Summary

    Will wiped his damp eyes with the back of his hand and then looked back at Mike. He said, with a wobble in his voice, “I just don’t want to go. I know it’s stupid, it’s only a month and I’ve done it before, but Jonathan was always there, and now he won’t be. And I’m going to miss you so much. I’m going to miss everyone.”

    Or:

    Will spends every July at Lonnie’s due to his parents’ custody agreement from their divorce. Fueled by a heartsickness that he doesn’t quite have a name for yet, Mike does his best to make things better.

    Summary

    “Are you just not speaking today?”

    It was a genuine question.

    His throat felt drier than usual. Will forced himself to swallow, shakily nodding.

    El nodded as well, turning back to her food. “Then I will not as well.”

    Will stared at her after that one, a little dumbfounded. Was she.. serious?

    In which Will Byers is selectively mute, and out of everyone throughout his life to be apart of him, El makes him feel the least like a freak for everything.

    Summary

    Will blinks. Mike is looking at him with an amused look on his face, wide-eyed and a little pink across the bridge of his nose, and God, okay, Will wants to–

    “Um,” he says instead. “Huddling? For warmth?”

    “For warmth,” Lucas echoes, and then looks back at Dustin again. “Huddling. For warmth.”

    “Like penguins,” Mike offers, and then rests his head on Will’s shoulder like this is supposed to be helping, or something.

    Will Byers and the harrowing experience of being snowed in with your mom, your almost-stepdad, all of your friends, and your (kind of) (secret) boyfriend.
