    Summary

    Mike is waiting for Will in the basement, a look of suspicious, nervous excitement on his face. He cleared the table and laid out upon it are two card games.

    "Now, I know you’ll resist," Mike blurts out, stepping toward him. "But I think this will be good. For both of us! For when we... you know,” Mike trails off, “When we get partners.”

    Will scoffs, stepping closer to inspect the titles.

    Spill or Sip and Truth, Dare, or Strip.

    Or: Mike suggests a spicy card game to help Will loosen up before college. It works a little too well, and suddenly they’re gambling with unresolved feelings, and clothes, that were meant to stay in place.

    Summary

    Will could not help the question that burst from his lips, it had been ricocheting around his brain like a stray tennis ball and was simultaneously causing him the most excitement, distress and exhilaration he had felt in his entire life.

    “Are you my husband?” he blurted. Mike blinked in surprise.

    “What?”

    Will lost his nerve slightly. He wondered if he had been horribly wrong about this, and maybe in this strange timeline he was just a friend staying over and maybe he’d made a mistake and the daughter wasn’t really his daughter and—

    Will faltered. “Um, I — well, I just thought you were — I mean, you are my husband, right?”

    Mike looked very alarmed. He was staring at Will as though he had grown a second head.

    “Obviously…?” he said, “Are you feeling alright? Did your mom make you try her D-I-Y coffee again?”

    When nineteen-year-old Will Byers wakes up to find himself in his forty-three-year-old body, he must—with no experience whatsoever—play the part of world-renowned freelance painter, father of two very troublesome teenagers, and most strangely of all: Mike Wheeler’s husband.

    Summary

    “Is it cause you used to have a crush on me?” Mike asked, abruptly.

    “What!” It was Will’s turn to blush harder, giving him a glare reserved for Mike Wheeler and Mike Wheeler only. “No. God. That was ages ago. I’ve been past that for a long time.”

    Mike motioned like he’d made his point. “See? So? It wouldn’t be weird.”

    So, Mike likes guys. Fine, Will can live with that. Except now Mike's worried about having fallen behind and would really like some help practicing how to kiss a guy from his also-into-guys best friend. And Will is trying really, really hard to be a good mentor to him, so what is he going to do, say no?
