Summary
Once, when they’d been kids, they’d been inside Castle Byers, and they’d pretended they were a knight and a cleric. Would you save me? Will had asked. If I was in trouble?
And Mike had answered, Always.
But now he’s the danger. Will’s at his mercy. What a cruel twist of fate it is, and Mike is the cruelest monster of them all.
Mike discovers a lot about himself in the scope of six months. Mainly, that he’s a terrible and selfish person.

Summary
Mike’s mouth is warm.
Warm, and a little chapped, and pressing against his with an uncertainty that makes something in Will’s chest ache. He should pull away. He knows this. He knows it in the same way he knows not to touch a hot stove, not to stare too long, not to let himself imagine impossible things. His body seems uninterested in logic, though, and he supposes he can’t blame himself, not really.
Mike shifts slightly, trying to figure out what to do with his limbs. His lips move against Will’s with more intention, and Will’s breath stutters out of him in a way that is deeply embarrassing and entirely involuntary.
Oh, his brain supplies unhelpfully.
It’s something he’s imagined countless times before, kissing Mike Wheeler. He imagines it so often, in fact, that he cannot even recall the first time he imagined it. It’s an ever-present fantasy, always lurking in the back of his mind.
And yet, despite his thorough experience in imagining this moment, he somehow never imagined it quite like this.
Or: Five times it doesn't mean anything, and one time it finally does.

Summary
After they save the world, Will gets a boyfriend and a haircut. Mike loses his mind.
A bunch of random words and feelings flash through Mike’s brain but they won’t settle down to form a sentence. He just can’t fathom the idea of Will…with a boyfriend. Will’s boyfriend. A boyfriend who is Will’s. It won’t make sense no matter how he squints at it. “Dudes kissing or whatever is cool,” Mike says eventually. “It’s just… Will…”
Will picks up a pillow and throws it at Mike’s face. Mike catches it. “That’s not fair,” Will says. “Dustin has Suzie, and Lucas has Max.”
“But you’re Will,” says Mike. Doesn't everyone else feel this way, too? Dustin and Lucas are looking at him with twin expressions of horrified fascination, like Mike is some kind of slow-motion train wreck. “I mean– I mean, you’ve always been–”
My Will, Mike’s brain finishes. Shit, he’s not saying that out loud.
“The baby?” asks Will, glaring at him. “Shut up, Mike.”
“No,” Mike says again, miserable, but he can’t say I don’t want there to be some other guy you like more than me out loud where god and Dustin can hear him and never let him forget it as long as he lives.

Summary
“You would know, I guess,” Mike agreed, holding his hands over the headphones. Closing his eyes. The wind nipped at his nose. November had swept away the snow, but it was still chilly out, and he was just wearing a button up and Dustin’s sweater.
Will, somehow reading his thoughts, draped a jacket over his shoulders.
‘Everything I’ve ever done, everything I ever do, every place I’ve ever been, everywhere I’m going to-‘
‘It’s a sin.’
Mike peeked one eye open, peering over at Will. He had a soft look on his face again, unabashedly staring at Mike while he thought he wasn’t looking. The wind was blowing at his hair, tousling his overgrown bangs, and he was just… ethereal.
Mike and Will’s journey into adulthood, and toward each other, with just a couple bumps along the way.
