    Summary

    "Welcome! How can I help you today?" she asked, her eyes scanning his face, perhaps sensing the loneliness that lingered there, making him feel strangely vulnerable.

    "I’m just looking around," Buck replied, his voice low, unsure of what exactly he was seeking. "I… I think I’m ready for a companion."

    or,

    Eddie goes to El Paso with Chris, and Buck adopts a dog to fill the space. Healthy coping mechanism? Maybe. Either way, Buck ends up spiraling.

    Summary

    Will has had to watch Mike and Eleven for years, and as much as it kills him, he's learned to accept it.

    He's also accepted that for the time being, no one has really shown much interest in him. And he's fine with that.

    Until they pull off at a gas station and a random guy hits on Will.

    or

    The one where Mike finally gets jealous.

    Summary

    Will looked around the room to see if anyone else noticed what was happening, but then he immediately froze as his eyes reached the front door.
    Standing in the doorway was none other than Mike. Fucking. Wheeler.
    Will pushed Chance’s hands off of him, but it was too late. Mike had seen everything. Before Will could do anything, Mike stormed off into the kitchen.
    Shit.
    Shit, shit, shit.

    or

    Will, Dustin, Lucas, and Max go to Stacey's party without telling Mike. Mike shows up to find everyone, especially Will, having a much better time there then they did at his D&D campaign earlier that night... and he starts to feel *things* about what Will is doing at said party...

    Summary

    “In the church,” she adds. “It’s shielded and old... quiet. He won’t look for you there.”

    Mike’s fingers curl slightly into Will’s jacket, instinctive and protective. “I’ll stay with him,” Mike says immediately, not even looking at Hopper this time. “The whole time.”

    El nods. She doesn’t question it, like she knows that’s where he’s always been meant to be. Will exhales slowly, then looks at Mike. “You don’t have to—” he starts.

    “I know,” Mike says quietly. “But I want to.”

    or; Mike stays with Will in the Upside Down as the group splits, and when Will faces danger in the church where they're hiding, Mike realizes this is his final chance to bring Will back.

    Summary

    Will Byers loves Mike Wheeler.

    It shouldn’t be a big deal. Of course he loves Mike. He always has. But it’s never felt like this. It’s never hurt to think about it, but it also never felt like a revelation rather than a fact. It hurts, and there’s nothing he can do to ease the pain. He looks across the room at Mike and all he sees is beauty where minutes ago he only saw his best friend. He notices entire constellations in the freckles strewn across his nose, stars glittering in his eyes, and it all seems inevitable. He loves Mike. He loves him and it’s a foregone conclusion, a wish on a shooting star destined to burn out. He loves him and he can’t ever have him, not in that way, and there’s nothing in the world that can ever hurt him again quite like this.

    OR: When the party dares Mike to tell someone he loves them for one hundred days, Will doesn't expect to be the unlucky recipient. He definitely doesn't expect it to consume his last three months in Hawkins. But like most things in his life, absolutely nothing goes to plan.
