“Can’t sleep?”
Will jolts up and the pen slips from his hands, and with a soft thud it lands next to him. Mike is sitting up on the bed and Will wonders how long he’s been sitting there because it looks like he’s been staring.
“No,” Will simply replies and turns to find his pen again. “And you?”
“Nope.”or
When the Cali gang stops at a motel for the night, Will and Mike end up sharing more than just the bed.

Summary
“That’s not true—“
“Then say it. Say it, Will!”
Will hesitates. “Say what?”
A beat. Then—
“Tell me that I’m wrong. Tell—”
He gulps. Will’s eyes dilate in shock.
“Tell me what’s going on with you, Will. For fuck’s sake, just talk to me!” Mike exclaims.
A stray sunbeam crawls up Mike’s cheek. At first, Will believes it to be another hallucination: that odd glassy sheen around his best friend’s waterline.
But when he concentrates, he notes that it isn’t a trick of the light at all. Rather, wetness brims in Mike’s eyelids, staining his eyes red.
Oh. Oh no.
OR
It's January, and Will Byers doesn't know how to act around his best friend anymore. But he has to hold strong. He has to keep his feelings to himself. If he doesn't, he'll lose everything.

Set after season 4 and before season 5. Loosely inspired by "you took my heart (I was sleeping)" by lameparties.

Summary
“So, I’ve been thinking," Mike throws his head back into the sofa’s head rest. “You know how I talk about girls all the time?”
The pencil in Will’s hand freezes for just a moment, something Mike wouldn’t have been able to tell at all if he wasn’t staring right at Will’s hands to avoid his gaze. “So?”
“Well, I’ve been thinking, right?”
Will looks up, but Mike isn’t looking back at him. He’s picking at a loose thread on the couch cushion. “What, about girls?”
“No,” Mike shakes his head, “about boys."
Will nearly chokes on his tongue. “You’ve been thinking about boys?”
or, mike conducts an uncomfortably elaborate semester-long personal inquiry project on how to be a better straight ally to his gay best friend. for educational reasons only. obviously

Summary
Mike opens the door to Lucas’s house, and everything is abruptly not perfect. Not even a little. Not at all.
Because Will—good, handsome, sweet, perfect Will—is sitting on the couch, which is not as good or handsome or sweet or perfect, but that’s okay, because it’s a couch, and couches don’t have to be those things.
But sitting next to him, smiling and laughing and slinging an arm around Will’s shoulders like it has any right to be there, is a man Mike’s never seen before in his entire life.
There’s only one logical conclusion.
Will’s brought a date.
