    Summary

    “I don’t think that it has to mean that you’re into guys,” Lucas says. His words are accompanied by a casual shrug, and said in the tone of someone who has clearly already given this subject some thought. Will doesn’t know what to do with that information. Jump from a building, maybe. “I mean, we’d all get flustered if Spider-Man carried us in his arms.”

    Mike points to him enthusiastically. “Thank you, Lucas.”

    Dustin looks between the two of them, his eyes narrowed.

    “...Would we?”

    “Sure,” Mike concludes. “He’s attractive. That’s not a weird thing to think.”

    Will just barely resists the urge to bang his head against the table. He feels Dustin’s eyes glued to his burning face, and sinks even further down his chair.

    In which Mike tells Spider-Man that he has a crush on his best friend, and Will jumps to some very wrong conclusions.

    Summary

    No, he knew why he was reacting this way. He felt this before. Back when the Byers moved. And back when El kissed him and told him he loved him.
    It was guilt. Shame.

     

    or: instead of Will seeing Rovickie kiss in season 5, it's Mike

    Summary

    Mike pushes into his hands, but Will keeps him still.

    "Ask again," he says. Because he's greedy, and he wants Mike to want him.

    He stares at Will's mouth. "Please."

    "Again."

    El is gone.

    Will tries to figure out how to move on in New York, and Mike follows him. Their apartment is haunted not by ghosts, but by the two of them.

    Or: Catastrophically traumatized boys cling to each other and accidentally figure out how to be close—too close—while moving through their grief.
