    Summary

    "Before the break, we asked our contestants: who was your first love? Richie, what did you write?"

    Your mom

    "Heh. That's what we get for inviting a comedian on the show," Chet snorts. "Very mature, Mr. Trashmouth. Maybe your partner can illuminate us. You guys were childhood friends, right? So fill us in, Eddie. Who was Richie's first love?"

    Rolling his eyes, Eddie flips over his card.

    My mom

    Richie and Eddie go on a game show for couples. Nobody expects them to be such a dream team. And nobody suffers as much as the host.

    Summary

    “Are you offended that people think we’re dating?”

    “No,” Mike says immediately. “Of course not,” because, again, he should be so lucky.

    Will’s baffled expression does not change. “Then why would I be?”

    “So– okay, fine, whatever. Should we, like, tell them to get their heads out of their asses and that we’re not– um– dating, or–”

    “I think,” Will cuts in, “well. You know what would be funny?”

    Honestly, Mike doesn't know what he thought being Will Byers' fake-boyfriend would entail, but he definitely didn't think it would involve this many ugly Christmas sweaters.

    Summary

    At first, Mike was unsure how to approach him when he got like this. But they’ve been living together for months now, never further than five feet apart in their dorm beds, so Mike’s learned what works and what doesn’t.

    It works when he wakes Will like this, with gentle hands and words, telling him he’s safe. It works when he climbs into Will’s warm bed, turning him on his side and curling up against his back, an arm over his waist and his cheek pressed against his shoulder. They lie together like that until Will’s hiccupping gasps soften into steady breaths, until Mike feels him go limp in his arms and he knows he’s fallen back asleep. It always works.

    or: Will has nightmares and Mike is the only one who can console him. Not even Will's boyfriend can. Mike takes great pride in this fact.

    Summary

    Will attends a baseball game with his friends and struggles with jealousy over the coworker Mike has been talking to a lot lately. But when the Kiss Cam highlights Mike and their coworker, Mike doesn't kiss her. He kisses Will.

    Update: I have since started posting chapters of an extended version of this fic. It is not completed, but I will be posting chapters regularly. I start it back to when Will moves after losing his job.
