Summary
"Tell me you want me to get in my car, start the engine and never come back here again. Tell me and I’ll do it.” Their lips brush ever so slightly, in a way that is so cruel, Will feels that familiar, painful desire building in his chest, the one he had tried so hard to get rid of.
“Hm?”, Mike asks again, angling his head a little and pressing a slow kiss right above where Will actually needs him to, hand finding Will’s waist with the ease that comes from routine, from doing something a million times and more until you don’t even have to think about it anymore. It’s painful.
“I-“, Will breathes out, his dry throat being the traitor that lays his feelings bare for Mike to see. He wants to push Mike away, slam him against the door and kick him down the stairs outside until he ends up with more bruises than he could ever count. But he also, and more desperately so, wants Mike to kiss him stupid, until their lips feel like they’re about to fall off.
-
Mike shows up at Will's door unannounced, looking for more stolen kisses, more touches in the dark. But Will can no longer bear the burden of Mike's complicated feelings - not at the expense of his own happiness. Mike needs to fix it. -

Summary
This is the first girl who’s ever asked Mike out — something he had, in the not too distant past, been terrified would never happen. And Mike just stands there, feeling like his dining hall dinner is about to crawl back up his esophagus.
Jeremy, Saint Jeremy, nudges him with an elbow. “He’s kind of private about it, but Mike actually has someone back home.”
Mike turns his head to look at Jeremy, expecting a knowing smile or the hint of a wink. But Jeremy actually looks sincere, which makes Mike’s eyebrows sink down, almost to the top of his nose.
“Will, right?” Jeremy supplies, forever trying to be helpful. “He’s at CalArts?”

Summary
They’d graduated and Will had disappeared — not just to Mike, to everyone. It’s not like it was mean-spirited. He needed to leave Hawkins in the rearview, to figure out who he was without the ghosts of monsters at his heels. Mike had stayed in Indiana. Dustin and Lucas and Max had ended up in Chicago. Will had gone the farthest, all the way out to California, and he’d tried to become a different person.
In some ways, he insisted, he was. He was different from all of his friends — always had been. There was a reason he’d been singled out on the playground, and they would never get that. They would never know what it felt like for Will to realize, one day, that all those bullies and his own dad had been right. They didn’t have friends and mentors dying right now. It wasn’t their fault — they were just normal. They’d never understand.
Except, well, now Mike is sitting here, at a gay bar, getting elevator eyes from two bears and a leather daddy.

Summary
Will Byers was raised to have the only correct opinions on music ever, actually, and he’s proud to show this off in the music review section of his university's queer student artists’ collective’s relatively popular zine, zine of the times. He actually really enjoys this position–that is, until the president of the zine informs him that he has to review his least favorite band on this earth: The Fellowship of the Ring.
At least his incredibly attractive neighbor in his U.S. history class is gonna go with him on the assignment, right?
Or: A music snob and the frontman of his most-hated local band walk into a bar for a date. It’s either the beginning of a really good joke or a really shitty love story.
