Summary
“You’re not coming this summer. I haven’t seen you in a year and a half and I know it’s-it’s pathetic—“
“It’s not pathetic,” Will interjects quickly, shaking his head, “It’s not—“
“It is, Will,” he hears Mike’s voice break over another hitched breath, “I know you’re… I just want you to be happy. I never want you to come back to Hawkins, but I’m fucking selfish. I’m so selfish, and I’m sorry.”
Will lets the tears spill over and he lets that want that’s always itching under his skin show itself.
“My whole life I’ve missed you every second you’ve been away from me,” Will confesses quietly into the receiver.
If you’re pathetic, I’m wretched.

Not long after the final battle, Mike and Will were inseparable– until Will moved out to New York.
Despite the weekly calls and the freedom of living their lives without terror, there’s no world in which they could last so long apart without it feeling like torture.
Will gets a call, and three days later, Mike is at his doorstep.
It only takes a day for them to fall back together again.

Summary
“You want us to foster a kid?” Mike finally asks, disbelieving. Will is half convinced that El will laugh in their faces, clearing up the misunderstanding with a, “No, silly. I want you to water my plants.”
“It doesn’t have to be forever,” El says. “Just until I can find another home for him. I can’t stand him living in the shelter anymore. Not right now. He needs emotional support. And don’t lie to me— I know you two have been wanting kids. This can be a trial run.”
—
Will and Mike are tasked with fostering an emotionally distant, judgmental, sassy twelve-year-old boy from El’s shelter. As hard as they try to win his heart, they seem to be making no progress. After all, how could two strangers earn the trust of a boy who’s been hurt time and time again?

Summary
“What?”, Will huffs, shaking his head in disbelief. “You know blue does not only equate sadness, right? It is one of the blatantly obvious meanings, sure, but it can also imply tranquility, loyalty, trust, peace, and—"
Shut up, shut up, shut up, the voice in his head screams by now, but one cannot interrupt Will in the middle of one of his art rants. Impossible. No chance. “And with the vastness of the sky or sea, blue is also often associated with distance, longing, yearning, and— stuff.”
“Distance”, Mike echoes, and only then does Will truly understand what he has just admitted into the air freely, completely unprovoked and voluntarily. “Longing. Yearning.”
Obviously, this is the exact moment Robert Smith decides to sing about the fact that it is Friday, and that he is very much in love.
Five times Mike distracts Will from his art assignments with his stupidly flirtatious ways, and one time Will actually needs his help to complete a coursework.

Summary
How do you spend your birthday, when you actually really fucking hate your birthday? — A question Willow woke up with the morning of her 19th birthday.
Turns out that would be the day she got everything she’d ever wished for.
The box revealed two small pink heart-shaped ‘Sweethearts’ candies in a small plastic bag, with “XOXO’’ and “Be Mine’’ written on them. The muscles around Willow’s eyes squinted together in confusion, “You got me two ‘sweathearts’ candies?’’
Michelle chuckled, “You would think, wouldn’t you? It’s actually two doses of the very powerful and sensory-altering drug, with slight psychedelic properties— Also known as Ecstasy.’’

Summary
“He had moles on his forehead, okay? And curly fucking hair!” Atsumu covers his face with his hands while resisting the urge to roll around in the paint he is most definitely ruining his hoodie by lying on. “How is that even fair?”
“Okay, so he has moles.” Kageyama takes a sip of his drink and looks away from his canvas to observe the Atsumu lump on the floor in the middle of their studio. “Sho has a mole on his ass and I’ve never swooned over it."
or,
in which atsumu orders an americano with seven shots of espresso from a pretty barista, gets made fun of by kageyama and hinata, and definitely does NOT get emotionally attached to said barista.
