Mike & Will unknowingly are both:
1. Gay
2. Hopelessly in love with each otherTheir friends who are determined to fix the party, and repair the friendship between them, Make sure they end up roommates!
Mike and Will try to regain a friendship they both miss, and protect their hearts/Secrets while they try to move on from their (presumably) unrequited feelings for each other. A balancing game they BOTH struggle with and FAIL at.(Canon till S3 - only moved the timeline forward 2 years so Will is kidnapped at 14 not 12 - Adjustments for S4 will be addressed - Eddie W/ Mike instead of Chrissy so hellfire not blamed. Eddie Lived, Nancy Killed Vecna S4 Attic)

Summary
Mike is nothing if not prepared, after a few conversations with his mother and some concerning looks, Mike wonders if she has clocked his ass and his potential love for his best friend. Why is that relevant? well he is standing at the Byers/Hoppers residence knowing full well that Will isn't here and he isn't looking for him. He needs a back up in case things go south once his family knows, and living with the maybe love of his life (Again) that only had a fleeting crush on him that is decidedly over isn't the greatest choice, but its kind of his last option.

But then, Mike discovers some things about himself. He starts to find the pieces that he was looking for. And... what is Will supposed to do with that?
(aka: a post-canon "mike finds his way back to will eventually" 90s college fic, in which will byers gets to scream at mike a lil like he deserves, and mike gets to prove himself in return)
