    Summary

    “But I like Will so much…” Mike groans, burying his face in his hands. He’s going in circles. Saying the same things over and over as a strange and ineffective way of deflecting. “This guy’s making me crazy.”

    “No, you’re crazy,” Max corrects bluntly.

    “You already were,” Lucas adds, “and then you met a guy.”

    Okay, harsh, but he doesn’t feel particularly inclined to say that they’re wrong.

    When Mike Wheeler finds himself smitten with a boy from the drama club, an arts department showcase at school brings them unexpectedly close — sparks fly, catastrophe strikes. Mike goes a little insane. Not really. Maybe.

    Summary

    Something like pain crossed Mike’s face, and Will used to be able to read him like his favorite comic book, but those days were long gone. “I just needed to talk to you,” he said, voice dying out a little towards the end, like he knew his mission to the Hopper-Byers house had already failed.

    Will blinked at him, then crossed his arms again. “Then talk.”

    ***
    will hasn't talked to mike in a long, long time. he wishes he could keep it that way. mike, though, has other plans.

    Summary

    Mike grabs Will’s hands and tangles them with his own, blinking up at him through his long, dark lashes. His eyes are endless. Solid black, like the night above them. So shiny that Will can see himself, tipsy and happy, in the reflection. “I want to be stuck with you,” Mike whispers, like it’s a secret. “I don’t ever want to leave.”

    Will sucks in a sharp breath, squeezing his hands. “Then don’t,” he whispers back, punched-out and honest. “Stay.”

    Senior year in Hawkins. Will and Mike figure some things out.

    Summary

    Will loved ordinary things, an uneventful existence was something he craved. Sadly, when Mike Wheeler walks into his life, Will’s easy going path snaps right in half. A passion he could never imagine overtaking his whole being.

    It was too bad their friend groups hated each other and his sister had a huge crush on the musician. Off limits.

    Fantastic.
