    Summary

    Will’s not supposed to be hiding in corners, forcing a fake smile when Mike asks him if he’s okay. He’s not supposed to brush off insults like they're jokes. He’s not supposed to vanish for six hours during a school day, leaving Mike feeling like he’s slipping away all over again.

    Whoever said that beating Vecna’s going to fix Hawkins’ problems, Will’s problems, Mike’s problems—they deserve an earful. They deserve to feel this weird, hollow dissatisfaction chewing away at their chests.

    aka mike begs will to escape their small town after too many run-ins with homophobic small-town bs. he knows will's meant to find himself elsewhere, but he never expects to find an answer to the age-old question of his own fate. prom, gay bars, sleazy hotels, train stations, two lesbians and their not-so-legal marriage - they aren't the traditional sources of wisdom, but he can't complain.

    Summary

    “Mike?” he questioned, the name that had lingered in his mind for years, finally on his lips again.
    Max let out a small breathy laugh, “well, yeah. It’s Mike.”

    Will nodded despite his confusion, and once the realisation hit, the confusion turned to hurt.
    “You guys still talk?” he asked, voice strained.

    Lucas looked at Max, then back at Will. As if he’s shocked to hear the question.
    “You don’t?” They said in unison again.

    “No. We don’t.”

     -

    Mike and Will haven’t spoken since Will left for New York in 1989.

    In 1995, during one of their visits from Hawkins, Max and Lucas ask Will to be a groomsman at their wedding. When Max mentions that Mike will be a groomsman too, it hits him like a sucker punch.

    Mike is still friends with the whole Party, just not him.

    Now he has to stand beside him at the altar. Pretend everything is normal. Pretend this is how it was meant to be for them.

    He certainly didn’t expect that the first time he would meet Mike’s eyes in five years would be to the sound of Whoomp! (There It Is).

    Summary

    The world is ending, which means for the time being, Will is living at the Wheeler’s house with Mike and El. Which means his life is once again a third-wheeling roller rink nightmare, and he’s basically invisible to Mike.

    Until Jonathan gives him $20 to go to an art sale, and he meets Tobias, a guy just as into art as he is.

    It’s not long before him and Tobias start dating.

    And then suddenly, Mike’s paying attention to him after all.

    or

    Will gets a boyfriend. Mike doesn’t like it.

    Summary

    What happened during the 18 months the Byers' and Wheelers had to stay together under one roof?

    Mike and Will's friendship is still fractured under the stress of a shared household. It seems Will would rather do anything but spend time with Mike or even begin to try to mend their relationship.

    Around Christmas time, Mike's sleep is constantly interrupted by not only his guilt but also the muffled sounds of distress that come from the basement.
