    Summary

    But it wasn’t a monster that came out of the trees. It was a person. A boy.

    Mike froze.

    Then he was spotted, and the boy stopped in his tracks; with skillful movements, he quickly slung the rifle off his shoulder and pointed it at Mike’s chest. Mike raised his hands while trying to keep most of his weight on his left leg.

    “Whoa. Hey,” Mike said, his eyes wide as he stared at the tip of the rifle. “Just hold on. I’m not—I’m not going to hurt you.”

    Or: A crawl gone wrong left Mike stranded in the Upside Down. Hurt and alone, Mike stumbles upon someone everyone told him was dead.

    Will Byers was never found Au

    Summary

    Mike thinks it all started the day the Byers moved into their house.

    Having sold their house in Hawkins a year and a half prior and moved to California, when they came back, and the town got put in lockdown, they didn’t have a place to go.

    Mike had kindly offered up their place during dinner.

    Summary

    “You okay?” Will quirks one of his eyebrows, then looks down to Mike’s hand. “Your popsicle is melting.”

    Mike’s suddenly aware of the stickiness between his fingers as the liquid from the half-melted Jell-O Pop settles in the crevices of his hand. His brain feels completely blank, other than the image of Will looking utterly cock-drunk on a fucking popsicle, which takes center stage, pushing everything else out of the way.

    Mike blinks rapidly, hoping to chase the image away, but it’s stuck there now, under his eyelids, under his skin, carved deeply into the fabric of his very being.

    Fuck. He’s hard. Raging hard. He never gets hard. What is this?!

     

    or

     
    Mike Wheeler has spent years thinking something is wrong with him.
    Everyone else wants sex. Everyone else talks about it. Everyone else seems obsessed with it.
    Mike isn't.
    Not until Will Byers sits next to him at Lover's Lake and eats a popsicle in a way that turns his world upside down.
    Now Mike has a problem.
    And he's determined to prove it has absolutely nothing to do with his best friend.

    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?
