Summary
“You should’ve seen the way you ran in here, man. I don’t think I’ve ever seen you move so fast.” His roommate takes a long pull of the joint dangling in his fingers. “You’re fuckin’ whipped, bro.”
Mike knows he looks stupid, unable to control the way his eyebrows furrow and his lips curl in complete confusion. Then his roommate rolls his eyes and makes a gesture like he’s cracking a whip, complete with sound effect. His cheeks heat up, the realization suddenly dawning on him.
He thinks Mike was on the phone to his girlfriend.
He thinks Mike has a girlfriend.
He thinks that Will is Mike’s girlfriend.
Everyone at college thinks Mike has a girlfriend. There's just one problem. The 'girlfriend' in question is Will Byers. Mike's best friend. Platonic with a capital P. He's so screwed.

Summary
Years after the Upside Down, Will is mostly okay. Mostly.
But lately, the back of his neck has started betraying him again, prickling with goosebumps and old fear even though the Mind Flayer is gone. When Mike notices, he refuses to let Will keep treating that part of himself like something ruined.
Or
The back of Will’s neck has been extra sensitive ever since everything with the Mind Flayer. Mike helps him realize that doesn’t always have to be a bad thing.

Summary
Steve looks between the four identical faces. “You’re not even a little curious?” he asks. “About how your other lives are going?”
“No,” Mike answers, immediate.
Too immediate.
Mike with the eyebrow ring snorts. The one in the tracksuit glances at Will again—just a flick of the eyes. The knight folds his hands behind his back and looks at the first Mike like he’s deeply disappointed.
[Or: The one where several Mikes exist simultaneously, and every single one of them is Will’s problem.]Series

Summary
“His eyes might as well be on his forehead.” Holly muttered.
“Hm?” Will stifled a laugh.
“He’s an id- I mean, Mike's not very good at, um, seeing obvious stuff, Will,” Holly whispered loudly, clearly censoring herself for Will’s sake. “Don’t tell me you’ve never noticed.”
Will very much had. “Don’t tell him this, but you’re absolutely right.” Will admitted, matching her whisper.
Holly looked gleeful. “I won’t say a thing. Promise.”
“Good. You'd better not. He’d probably kick me out or something,” Will added dramatically.
“I wouldn’t let him,” Holly said. “Having you here is like having a second brother! It’s cool.”
Will’s heart actually melted a little. “Thanks, Holly.”
“And you actually like the stuff I like.”
“Mike likes art too!” Will tried.
Holly rolled her eyes again. “No. Mike likes YOUR art.”

Summary
Rupert can’t love her, not the way they both want. But iff she can’t be with him, maybe she could be something else. Something softer than a friend or confidant. Daughter didn’t feel quite right, the word sour on her tongue, but it was as close as she could get.
or, Taggie attempts to train Rupert into seeing her as a daughter figure.
