    Summary

    What initially begins as Mike and Will calling each other exaggeratedly cheesy pet names to mess with Max and Lucas starts spiralling into something a lot more intimate and dangerous. Will isn't really sure where they managed to lose the plot, or how far they can go before there's no turning back.

    Or: Max and Lucas go through a late honeymoon phase. It's excessive. It's gross. Mike and Will (well, mostly Mike) decide to engage in exaggerated bouts of PDA to demonstrate how disgusting the couple are being. It starts to get out of control pretty quickly.

    Summary

    “You seem like a good guy,” Chance said with a smirk, voice low. “I-”

    “Hey, Will?” It was Mike, of course it was Mike, interrupting the only time a hot guy may have ever flirted with Will.

    “Uh, give me a sec, I just-” Will stumbled.

    “Don’t worry about it, Byers, I better get to class,” Chance motioned vaguely down the hall. “I’ll see you around,” Then he had the audacity to fucking wink.

    Will didn’t have the time to short-circuit because Mike was glaring suspiciously at Chance as he walked away. “Why, pray tell, were you talking to him?” Mike asked stonily.

    Will clenched his jaw. “Why do you care?”

    Mike sighed and shook his head. “I don’t.” He thrust a flyer in front of him, looking suddenly embarrassed. “We have a show tonight. Seven o’clock at this cool venue downtown.”

    Will took it, silently.

    “I want you to come,” Mike said softly, and for a moment none of the bad shit had happened at all, and they were just two kids staring at each other in a school hallway.

    Will might think it's really hot that Mike's in a band. Mike might've written a song about Will. Unfortunately, they're both total idiots and have been set on ignoring each other for months.

    Summary

    “So. The church?” Miike asked.

    “The church.” Will said firmly.

    The building radiated with a sort of holy innocence, looking almost untouched and definitely out of place in the Upside Down. Will jiggled the front door handle and groaned. “Locked.” He thought for a moment. “Stand back, Mike.”

    Mike did, watching Will back up a few feet. “What are you-”

    Will began in a running start before throwing the weight of his body against the door with a bang. The door swung open but Will kept his balance, wincing. “That was loud. And kind of stupid.”

    “Are you kidding me?” Mike stared at him in a sort of awe. “I’ve only ever seen people do that in movies. Holy shit. That was epic.”

    “Oh shut up.” Will blushed. “It was nothing.” As they made their way into the church, Will took off his jacket, slinging it over his shoulder and stretching out his arm. Mike watched the muscles in his back strain against his t-shirt, his biceps and lats bulge from the simple stretch. Mike swallowed, hard.

    “Hey, it’s not too bad in here.”

    Summary

    Will picks up the book, gently, like he’s afraid of bending the spine. “This is the second one.” Will’s eyes light up as he says it. “I didn’t know it was out already.”

    “You-, you’ve read the first one?” Mike stutters out, still standing frozen by the dining table.

    Will laughs softly. His eyes move from the book to Mike’s face. Mike feels exposed in a way he hasn’t in a long time. “Read it? I loved it, Mike. It’s one of my favorite books ever. I’ve read it, like, three times.”

    Mike secretly publishes a story about courage, monsters, and a boy he loves. He panics when he realizes Will might recognize himself in the pages.

    Summary

    "No," Will said quickly. "It's okay. He's going to be okay."

    Nancy turned, the shock freezing her features into something horrifying. "He doesn't have a pulse."

    Will held up his hands as he shook his head. "I know. But it—he—will be fine. You'll see."

    Nancy choked on a sob. "He's dead! How is he going to be okay?"

    Or: Four years after graduation, they're back in the Abyss, where a failing fight leads to Mike being bitten and losing everything about himself, except his love for Will Byers.
