    Summary

    “Will,” The name falls softly from Mike’s lips, pained. “I don’t think I will ever really like anyone who you’re with, if it’s not me. Especially not if it’s… him.”

    “I know,” Will mumbles, adjusting the way he’s lying down so that he’s even closer to him than he was a couple of seconds earlier. Mike continues to play with Will’s hair, delicately wrapping the strands around his fingers. “I just wanted to hear you say it.”

    OR:

    Mike and Will reunite at a wedding after years of not speaking, where they learn that time can’t bury emotion.

    Summary

    “Don't,” Will warns, his voice trembling. “He’s good to me. He doesn't look at me like I’m broken, Mike. He doesn't look at me and see a monster or a victim. He just sees me.” Will huffs as he wipes a tear from his cheek.
    “And that’s enough for you?” Mike’s voice drops to a whisper, his eyes glassy and fierce. “Just being ‘seen’ by some stranger who doesn't know a thing about you? He doesn't know what you’ve been through. He doesn't know what it’s like to lose everything. He just sees the version of you that’s easy to love,” Mike bites out, angry and vengeful.
    Will flinches as if Mike had slapped him. The anger drains out of him, replaced by a raw, aching hurt. “Fuck you, Mike. Maybe I want to be easy to love. Did you ever think of that? Maybe I’m tired of being difficult.”

    Or, A year after the party goes their separate ways, Mike visits Will, only to find he's moved on.

    Summary

    “I bet your boyfriend's funny, huh?” he said, before he could stop himself. His eyes flicked back to the piece of jewellery on Will’s neck. “Nice necklace by the way.”

    Will froze.

    Mike wasn’t stupid. He knew it wasn’t just a necklace. It was a signal. A claim.

    Six years after everything, Mike Wheeler has built a life of routine and avoidance, convincing himself that silence is the same as healing. Will Byers has done the opposite – he’s left, grown, and learned to love without apology.

    When they meet again at Lucas and Max’s wedding, the truth Mike has spent years avoiding, finally demands to be faced – especially when he sees Will with someone else.

    As he finds out, sometimes yearning doesn’t fade with time. It grows, until punches are thrown.

    Summary

    He felt hands on his waist, wrapping around him and squeezing, pulling him in so their bodies were flush against each other.

    “Mike,” Will pulled back, panting, lips red and pupils blown wide. “We shouldn’t—“

    “I don’t care,” Mike muttered, desperately pulling Will back in. He needed this.
