Summary
Mike let his fingers slide from Will’s cheek to brush lightly against his bottom lip. The other boy’s lips parted almost immediately, making a thrill run through Mike. He had a stupid theory, something he’d half-jokingly wondered about, that maybe Will enjoyed having something in his mouth. And he couldn’t resist testing it.
or: One time the boys sleep at Mike’s, the other time they’re at Will’s, and both times they explore Will’s mouth.

Summary
When Max is sent away for a month for advanced out of state hospital treatment, Lucas is left with way too much time and way too many feelings. So when he notices the unresolved tension simmering between Will and Mike, he decides to do something about it. But before he can even process what that truly entails, he’s already knee deep in secrets, feelings, and “friendships” that are a lot more complicated than he signed up for.
OR: What starts as a distraction from missing Max turns into the most complicated plan of Lucas’s life as he shifts from helping Will get over Mike to setting them up together (because he’s the bestest, most supportive friend ever, obviously!)

Summary
Will stirred sleepily to the sound of voices and a heavy weight beside him.
“Whazup?” he mumbled, lifting his head off the pillow and blinking in the darkness.
“Shhh, it’s fine,” replied Mike’s soft voice, breaking through the stillness that had followed Will’s muffled question, “I’ve got this one. You can go back to sleep.”
Mike and Will take turns staying up with Holly, who has begun to have nightmares about the monsters in Hawkins. Things take a curiously domestic turn.

Summary
“Do you not want to kiss me because you think it’s gross?” he said, and Mike’s eyes widened.
“What?” he said, “No! Of course not! I don’t — why would you even—“
“Well, I can’t think of any other reason that you’d be opposed, since you had no problem coming in here with Lucas—“
Suddenly, Mike slipped on a loose board and grabbed Will by the waist to steady himself, sending him wobbling backwards until he was pressed bodily against the shelf. The rattling of the pail drowned out his muffled squeak of surprise. Will stared at him, his pupils blown wide. The infinitesimal space between them seemed cavernous.
“Will, I don’t want to kiss you because you’re in a relationship,” said Mike carefully, his breath ghosting over Will’s lips in the dark.
Will has a (useless) boyfriend. Mike takes it as a challenge.

Summary
The painting on his wall is framed in simple wood. Nothing ornate, because Will had never liked ornate things. He used to say fancy frames distracted from the painting itself.
Mike reaches up slowly and pushes the glasses higher on his nose.
He knows what it looked like when Will was painting, hunched over the canvas, hair falling in his eyes, chewing the inside of his cheek while he worked like the act of putting color on a surface might somehow split him open.
His chest tightens, a sharp little twist beneath his ribs.
Maybe El didn’t like ornate things either, or maybe, she would have liked something big and gold. Or purple. Maybe a seventy thirty split of it, or maybe just nothing all together, no frame at all.
He doesn’t know.
He never asked, not once.
And Mike realizes with a strange, aching clarity, he’s going to die the same way she did. Unknown and unseen. Never properly loved the way he wanted to be.
or, Mike is in love with Will, and he's hit with the realization that if he were to die, no one would know.
