Summary
“It’s supposed to be terrifying,” Will sighed, trying to concentrate.
“Terror is subjective, my friend,” Richie replied, leaning over Will's shoulder, their heads practically touching. He smelled aggressively of Jovan Musk. “Look at the curve of that snout! It’s sensual! Tell me, Will, when you paint, do you prefer a brush that’s firm, or one that’s a little more… flexible?”
Will froze, charcoal poised mid-air. He caught Mike’s reflection in the glass of the Street Fighter cabinet. Mike was staring daggers, his jaw working furiously.
“I—It depends,” Will stammered, suddenly dizzy from a sudden hit of memory from that summer.
“Variety is the spice of life, Byers,” Richie purred, his voice low and conspiratorial. He didn't move an inch. “Just like variety in companionship. You shouldn’t limit yourself to brooding intellectuals who haven’t admitted they’re bisexual since the first A-Team movie.”
Mike slammed his palm against the side of the Street Fighter machine. CLANG!
OR just Richie trying to steal Mike's boyfriend.

Summary
Seventeen months go by after the cracks tore through Hawkins and the lockdown set in, the Wheelers’ house becomes something like a refuge, full breakfasts, shared chores, familiar noise that makes the world feel a little less broken. For Will Byers, safety lives in routine, and in staying quiet about the things that matter most.
Especially Mike.
Will has learned how to survive by being careful. Careful with his words. Careful with his feelings. Careful not to want more than what’s already been given to him. As long as he stays awake, he can keep the truth locked away and pretend that the flutter in his chest means nothing, that Mike’s closeness is just kindness, that everything is still simple.
But one night, exhaustion finally wins.
When Will accidentally falls asleep in Mike’s bed, the things he’s spent months holding back begin to slip out in murmured half-sentences and whispered confessions he never meant to share as he’s asleep. Mike hears everything.
Now Mike is left awake in the dark, holding a truth he was never supposed to know, unsure what it means, or what tomorrow will bring, while Will sleeps on, unaware that the secret he’s guarded so carefully has already been broken open.

Summary
“Whatever," Lucas shrugs. "You’re just jealous that you aren’t getting any.”
Mike raises an eyebrow, like he knows something the rest of them don't. Will looks like he wants to drown him. He probably deserves it.
In which Will has a love bite, the Party freaks out about it, and Mike is jealous of himself.

Summary
"Why did you lie?"
Will felt gravity leave him, felt his body untether itself from this mortal realm and float directly into the setting sun. The room was casted in a yellow-gold, beamless and directionless - and because Will was a sinner, he replied, "About what?"
Mike's face creased. He shook the rolled up painting, tightening his fist around it. "About this, Will. Don't play dumb."
(AKA: Oh, you know - just your standard Mike-finds-out-about-the-painting confrontation.)

Summary
“Dude,” Dustin says, sounding kind of horrified but also kind of delirious with elation. “Oh my God, you like him. You like Will. Will. As in, our Will. Our best friend Will.”
“I do not–” Mike tries, even though he’d kind of just admitted to accidentally kissing Will Byers, a little, so maybe that’s an entirely fruitless road to go down.
Listen. No one should ever let Mike make decisions right after he wakes up from a nap, okay? Especially not decisions where Will is concerned. This is so not his fault.
