    Summary

    The thing was, Will loved Mike. He had always loved Mike. Loving Mike felt less like a choice and more like gravity. Something he’d learned to live with, something constant and unyielding, even when he’d tried, desperately, to move on.

    “Your… your what?” Will managed finally. His voice sounded distant to his own ears, thin and unsure.

    Mike swallowed. “My boyfriend,” he repeated, a little quieter this time, like maybe if he said it softly enough, it wouldn’t sound as insane. “I need you to be my boyfriend."

    💕💕💕💕

    After coming out, Mike asks Will to pretend to be his boyfriend for a trip home to Hawkins. It seems simple enough.

    Except pretending is harder when you’ve already been in love for years.

    Summary

    Will’s eyes sting with tears, and his nose prickles with heat. He feels like he’s burning, like he’s on fire. But Mom’s right—he doesn’t have to be afraid. She knows, and she loves him, and she’s not leaving. All that’s left is the words. And he shouldn’t be scared of words. After all he’s been through, if what takes him down is the English alphabet, then the world has a really fucked up sense of humor.

    He just needs to rip off the bandaid.

    Alternatively: Five times Will Byers came out, and the one time someone came out to him.

    or

    Seven nights in which Mike and Will have to sleep in the same bed, even though they’re barely friends anymore.

    Summary

    Eddie wakes up from his coma on a Friday afternoon with Robin at his bedside, because of course he does.

    “So… this is really weird” Eddie says.
    “So weird!” she agrees.
    “I don’t even know what to do now, because I’m supposed to stay with you for like another hour or something, but I never even thought about what I’d say to you if you woke up while I was here.”

    “What do you mean you’re supposed to stay with me for another hour?” He asks, looking more than a little mortified, his voice a loud theatrical whisper as he asks “Do you… you’re taking turns sitting with me?”

    ---

    Eddie forms new relationships with The Party while he recovers in the hospital.
    Now if only Steve would stop being so fucking sweet to him, then maybe he wouldn't be setting off his heart monitor constantly.

    Summary

    God bless low rise jean shorts, Chrissy thinks, as she squirms under Robin’s ministrations.

    Robin shifts so that her lips are right up against Chrissy’s ear, and Chrissy can’t help but squirm again, back into Robin. “You’re driving me crazy,” Robin husks into her ear, and Chrissy shivers at the sound.

    “Why, sugar,” she says, in her best Tennessee accent. “I’m just a sweet innocent country girl!”

    Robin laughs and it’s lower, full of promise. “Somehow,” she mumbles, and her pinky dips down below Chrissy’s waistband, brushing back and forth over the lacy edge of Chrissy’s thong, “I don’t think that’s true at all.”
