    Summary

    April 7th dawns like every other day, and it's not until Will throws a Kit-Kat at him that he realizes there's something amiss. He blinks the sleep from his eyes and stares up at where Will's standing, watching him with something like expectation in his face.

    "Happy Birthday," Will says. There's the faintest hint of a smile on his face, barely reaching his eyes.

    Mike blinks. Once, then twice, and when the third time brings no more clarity, he manages to force out a "What?"

    or

    Three birthdays where Mike's life is vastly different, but one thing always stays the same.

    Summary

    His brain finally catches up with Mike’s words, and Mike is saying things like, “C’mon, Will—you can do it,” and “I’m so proud of you,” and “Don’t rush, it’s okay.” In the softest tone imaginable, and if Will maybe pretends to still be a little more out of it than he actually is just to keep hearing Mike talk to him like that—well, that’s his business.

    After Season 5 Vol.1, Mike refuses to leave Wills side.

    Summary

    "The first time Will really noticed it was when he was nine and quarters mysteriously found their way into his pocket at the arcade.

    He had left Mike alone with his jacket and returned from the bathroom with two whole dollars more than he'd started with in his jacket pocket. Will had looked at Mike suspiciously, but his friend had insisted that he didn't know what Will was talking about.

    The next time they were at the arcade, Will was prepared. He had counted his money three times before he left his house and kept track throughout the day. Then, during an intense round of Space Invaders, Will had felt Mike bump his arm. He hadn't thought anything of it in the moment, distracted by the game. But the next time that Will shoved his hand into his pocket, he found seven new quarters waiting for him.

    He was sure then: Mike was secretly slipping him quarters."

    Summary

    Then he heard kissing.

    Loud, wet, enthusiastic kissing.

    Oh. He stared at the ceiling while his brain caught up to his precarious situation. After living in New York for so long, he'd forgotten how well sound traveled here. How little insulation there was between his room and Will's. He'd lived with that fact his whole life and it had never once mattered, and he would have lived a long happy life having never thought about that fact again.

    He heard a short bit of creaking, then the soft rustling of fabric.

    “Fuck, Will…most perfect ass I've ever seen.”

    Oh God, NO!

    In which Jonathan Byers has the worst night's sleep of his life, and learns several things about his brother he had no business knowing.
