Summary
"You're..." Mike shifts again, closer, his breath fans across Will's neck. "You're my only best friend."
Even though the words squeeze his throat to a painful extent, he mutters, "For— for now."
"I don't want another one," He glares. "I want you."
Just a few months before graduation, when the rest of the party has been moved from Hawkins after the-almost-end-of-the-world, Mike and Will are left to complete their senior year together. Mike, who's been giving off mixed, vague signals for far too long, and Will, who can't seem to shake the remnants of his nightmares and the last six years of misery. As the New Year grows closer, Mike and Will must reckon with each other and the distance thrust between them before it's too wide to cross.

Summary
"He's way too young for you," Mike muttered, whipping his head away from Robin and tucking his knees up to his chin. For some reason, he thought this conversation might go a lot worse for him if he looked her in the eye. "And you took him into the woods— where he got taken, I mean, I don't even—" and he shook his head, frowning deeper. "You went against his mom's orders! Can you not even respect his parents?"
A choked noise snapped Mike back to reality. "You— what?" Robin blinked at him, her mouth hanging slack. "I respect Joyce Byers. Very much."
With Will unconscious, Mike and Robin find time for a tense chat.

Summary
Right after Will’s powers awaken, the Party hides out in the old radio station trying to make sense of everything. As Will explains what happened, with Mike glued protectively to his side, Robin watches them and realizes something Will hasn’t said out loud yet.
Mike isn’t Will’s Tammy Thompson. He’s his Vicky.

Summary
“Looks like I bit you.” Will tilts his head to get a better look. All Mike can do is stare at him. His fluffy hair at the front, clumped pieces at the back where he’d slid his fingers in a mere few minutes before. His pretty green eyes that look hazel or even brown in this light, the dark circles he gets when he drinks framing them like intricate paintings. A satisfied, bloody smile.
Mike isn’t satisfied. He swallows thickly, choking down the words 'don’t you want more?'
Or: Will dresses as a vampire for a college halloween party, but Mike thinks his costume isn’t bloody enough. Will lets him fix it. Mike goes into a crisis.
