Summary
“Look, I just, I don't know- want to help you. You know, with your art. Kinda.”
“Okay,” Will says slowly, “How?”
Mike lets out an audible groan, expressing annoyance, likely more at himself than Will, “I heard that there's this… exercise, that like, I don't know- help you draw better.”
“Yeah, isn't that what most exercises do?”
“Uh huh. We could do that.”
“How is that going to be fun? For you especially.” Will quirks his brows up at him.
“You could do it with touch.”
“What-”
(Or Mike comes up with a brilliant plan to help Will practice his skills.)

Summary
“I—I would tell you.” He says reflexively, but he doesn’t take it back. The words are true. He hears Mike’s breath catch and his hand twitches. “I just wouldn’t want you to– to pity me. Or see me… differently.”
“I would never.” The response is instant. “You’re strong. I’d never pity you. I… god, how do I explain?” Mike turns his body to face Will head on and grabs his hand properly. Will feels a shiver run through him, but he squeezes back all the same. “I’m sorry. I’m so fucking sorry, for what you’ve been through, whatever it is. But it would never, never make me look at you differently.”
“Promise?”
“I promise."
Or: Will breaks down after the events at the MAC Z and trusts Mike to help him pick up the pieces.

“How’s school going?” Joyce asks.
“Good. It’s…going good,” Mike replies. She nods and sips her hot chocolate.
“Mrs. Byers.” She looks up at him and Mike feels his heart beat faster. “Why did you make three hot chocolates?”
She takes her time to answer. “I don’t know,” she replies after a while. “It felt like the right thing to do today.”
Today. Today’s weird, Mike thinks.
“It’s March 22nd today.”
“I know.”or

Summary
Dustin wasn’t done. “You’re cheating!” he accused, pointing at Mike. “No one gets that lucky!”
Mike leaned back in his chair, grinning like he knew exactly how wrecked Will was beneath the table.
“Maybe you’re just salty ‘cause your bard keeps failing stealth checks. I’m just closer to my sorcerer.”
His thumb swiped through the wetness clinging to Will’s skin, slow and deliberate, before he lifted his hand to press two fingers against his own mouth. His tongue darted out, tasting, eyes locked on Will’s flushed face. The game board blurred.
OR: Mike fingers Will under the D&D table and then ruins him on top of it. That's all.

Summary
“Do you really not love me anymore?” Mike’s brows arched, pleading, thumbs pressing softly on Will’s bottom lip, parting it just enough to feel the wet heat inside. “Tell me.”
“Mike, stop. I have a boyfriend,” Will whispered. But he didn’t pull away. He stayed—staring at Mike’s mouth, wanting, aching. His tongue darted out to wet his lips, unconsciously mirroring Mike’s touch.
“That’s not what I asked.” Mike leaned in until their lips ghosted—barely touching, electric. His hands braced on the wall on either side of Will’s head. “Do you still love me?”
OR
Where Mike Wheeler shows up to the Party reunion already screwed—because Will Byers walks in looking like every repressed fantasy Mike’s buried since college.

Mike buries his face in Will’s stomach, hugging his waist. “Please, please, please.”
Vulnerable to the point he lets himself indulge in physical contact he has never dared to do before.
Will puts his hand on the back of Mike’s head, patting his head gently. He is astonished, lips falling open, he tries to register what is fully going on.
Mike Wheeler on his knees, begging and crying for him to give him a chance—as Max intended.
Holy shit, crying on his knees.

He was focused on a stain on the wall, trying to decipher what it most resembled, when he heard a shaky exhale next to him, and then his name.
“Dustin..”
He turned to look at her, catching the pass of vulnerability in her eyes, the tremble of her bottom lip.
And then her fingers met his on the wooden floor, cold and interlacing gently with them. His stomach flipped.
“Jane..?” He felt his own voice shaking now, not daring to remove his eyes from her face to look at their hands together underneath them.

Summary
A charged silence hung between them, the only sound being that of Will sketching. Mike had a tendency to fumble through moments like this, finding comfort in little quips to shift the vibe. It's expected of him, really, he can't help himself.
Mike's suggestion this time, however, was completely unexpected. Before Mike could even decipher it, the thought had reached his lips and just tumbled out.
"You'd look good as Luke Skywalker."
or
Mike asks Will to dress up as Luke Skywalker for Halloween for totally normal reasons that aren't linked to Mike's huge gay crush on Mark Hamill—or his huge gay crush on Will, but he doesn't need to know that yet.

“Oh, God, you two are so oblivious,” Jonathan rolls his eyes. “I don't know how you two can exist next to each other without knowing there's something going on. Everyone knows.”
“Oh,” Mike whispers. That definitely wasn't in all the scenarios he thought about. “And are you- do you, um, have something against- that?”
“You two liking boys or you two liking each other?” Jonathan smirks.

Summary
“Guys, Mike’s not like me, he just can’t name characters.” They both give him a pointed look, clearly not believing a word. “I’m serious, every character is a reference to someone we know.”
“Are they now?” Dustin raises an eyebrow at him.
“Yes!” Will is perhaps a bit exasperated, “Stephen and Jay are clearly Steve and Robin, and James is Hopper,” at the blank look they give him, he clarifies, “his first name is Jim.”
This somehow only makes Lucas seem more unimpressed, “okay, but you do see how that’s more suspicious right?”
“What? That Mike can’t come up with names?”
“No,” Lucas shakes his head and clasps Will in the shoulder, “that the first name Mike thought to cannibalize when coming up with a boyfriend for you was his own”.The party grows closer after Will moves in with the Wheelers, picking up D&D again. It all goes well until Mike introduces a new character, Sir. Gabriel Whepler, whose sole purpose seems to be flirting with Will.

Summary
Mike’s hand reaches for the doorknob and Will’s eyes grow wide in apprehension—he can’t go out looking like that. Not that he’s not cute. He just doesn’t look like Mike. At all.
The brunette grabs his boyfriend’s wrist, pulling him back softly.
Mike smiles, surprised when he finds himself in front of Will, “Hey, pretty.”
His words get muffled by Will’s mouth in an instant.
After half the summer of being a witness to this horrible haircut, Will has come to the conclusion that there is no other solution.
