Summary
“Shut the fuck up.”, Will whispers because he can’t, he just can’t deal with Mike’s confusing ass right now. The soft light is illuminating Mike’s features, jaw carved out so perfectly, cheekbones high, eyes so dark Will feels like they’re swallowing him. “You are, too.”, he adds.
“Prettier than your lame boyfriend?”, Mike ask, voice somehow careful and urgent at the same time.
“Mike…” Will shivers a little, not sure what to do with himself. It’s ridiculous for Mike to actually believe Will has a boyfriend; if that were the case, he would’ve never stepped a foot into this bed. But somehow, Mike’s need to come out on top compared to the guy he is supposedly dating makes Will break out in goosebumps all over.
“That’s not a no.”, Mike remarks.
“That’s not a no.”, Will whispers, scared to move at all and break the moment.
A soft grin plays at the corner of Mike’s mouth, “Oh, yeah?”
“Yeah.”, Will nods, “But you knew that already.”

Bookmarker's Notes
le college au + jealous mike avranno sempre un posto speciale nel mio cuore. questa ha soddisfatto quel prurito fin troppo fastidioso lasciato nel mio cervello dopo il finale alquanto discutibile di st. nella mia mente il mike wheeler che diventa la copia di suo padre non esiste, MA - al contrario - questo è ciò che mi immagino per lui in post canon. ho amato la loro dinamica, la scoperta dei sentimenti, la crisi esistenziale e l'uscita da quel dannato armadio, la gelosia, la crescita di will e il suo sentirsi finalmente così a suo agio con la sua sessualità.

Bookmarker's Notes
Penso, senza esagerare, questa sia una delle cose più belle io abbia letto qui sopra. Non riesco neanche a spiegare la moltitudine di cose provate, è stato come esser trasportata direttamente in questo universo, lo sentivo addosso. La musica, la scelta di parole, la descrizione così realistica di ogni sentimento e personaggio... LA MUSICA! Potrebbe essere tranquillamente un libro, ne ha tutto il potenziale. Mi ha lasciata senza fiato. Credo non riuscirò a dimenticarla facilmente, ho il cuore pieno ma vuoto allo stesso tempo.
++ I sentimenti di Will per Mike sono stati narrati in modo talmente toccante da far innamorare il lettore stesso, come se lo si stesse guardando proprio dai suoi occhi leggendo ogni suo flusso di pensieri. Difficile spiegare cosa intendo, dico solo WOW.

Summary
"Why him?"
Will couldn't breathe. Mike was so close to him: towering over him, looking down on him so harshly that it burned.
"I- Mike-"
"What does he do to you, Will?" Mike continued torturously, his voice rough and antagonising as it neared Will's ear. "What does he do to you that I can't?"
...
Will Byers had just begun to give up hope in chasing Mike Wheeler. However, when another boy enters his life and Mike starts acting weird, Will wonders if his world has truly turned upside-down. -

or
