    Summary

    Was…was Mike’s heart reacting to Will?

    Mike isn’t looking at him. He’s staring hard at his cards as if he hasn’t seen them before, biting his inner cheek, and accentuating his dimple. As Will looks closer, he notices the pink shade spreading over the shell of Mike’s ear, the red emerging from the black curls like a rose sprouting from the earth.

    Was Mike still nervous around him? Hadn’t they resolved that?

    Will decides to test it. He leans onto the bed and rests a hand on Mike’s uninjured thigh, his thumb swiping side to side over the covers, and waits.

    Mike's leg twitches into his hand, and barely a moment passes before the beeps speed up again, a rapid climb from steady to sprinting, and when Will looks, the blush has spread to Mike’s cheeks, his eyes unmoving and glued to his cards.

    Oh. Will gapes at the monitor, the green spiking line. That's not discomfort.

    Oh. He can have some fun with this.

     

    Or: Mike, while protecting Will, gets attacked by a demogorgon. Guilt-ridden, Will stays with him in the hospital, forcing them to resolve the awkward air that has surrounded them for months, and, along the way, uncover some truths.

    Summary

    But it wasn’t a monster that came out of the trees. It was a person. A boy.

    Mike froze.

    Then he was spotted, and the boy stopped in his tracks; with skillful movements, he quickly slung the rifle off his shoulder and pointed it at Mike’s chest. Mike raised his hands while trying to keep most of his weight on his left leg.

    “Whoa. Hey,” Mike said, his eyes wide as he stared at the tip of the rifle. “Just hold on. I’m not—I’m not going to hurt you.”

    Or: A crawl gone wrong left Mike stranded in the Upside Down. Hurt and alone, Mike stumbles upon someone everyone told him was dead.

    Will Byers was never found Au

    Summary

    Will is in New York City now. He’s graduated from art school. He has a new boyfriend. He’s accepted himself in ways he never thought he could. For the first time in his life, he’s happy—really happy. He’s moved on from Hawkins. Moved on from the past. He looks toward the future now instead of over his shoulder.

    He’s moved on from Mike.

    At least, that’s what he tells himself.

    But when Mike stops calling—when weeks stretch into months, and months into years without a single word from the boy he once loved—

    Will can’t help but feel it.

    That quiet, cavernous emptiness opening up inside his chest.

    — or —

    Mike does something that leaves Will feeling completely helpless, even though they are hundreds of miles apart.

    Summary

    Honestly, it wasn't fair. Dustin wasn't talking to him, El broke up with him, again, and now Will's mad at him. He doesn't even know what he did, so how does any of that make sense? Max and Lucas seemed to be the only ones on neutral grounds. Well, is it neutral if they agree more with the others than with him? He just wanted a moment of peace so he can try and solve one thing before moving on to the next and then the next, was that too much to ask?

    Apparently, it was because now he was stuck in a room with his friends about to watch something he didn't want to talk about. Ever.

    Summary

    “Mike! Shit-” If that gave any idea to Mike how the wound looked, Will looked absolutely horrified.

    “Is it bad?” Mike asked through gritted teeth. The adrenaline was already starting to wear down and the pain in his leg was growing steadily by the second.

    “We’ve got to go back to-” Will stopped as he turned towards the gate, a few feet away.

    The gate finished closing fully right as Will said that.
