    Summary

    “You’re not gonna forget me,” Mike pressed, heart pounding against his rib cage. His hands twitched, picking nervously at the cardboard. His voice wobbled. “Right?”

    Will shook his head quickly, crossing the space between them in a quick jog.

    “No,” he whimpered, and his arms hooked around Mike’s waist, face pressing into the crook of his shoulder. “No, Mike. I could never forget you. You won’t-?”

    “No,” Mike hissed, dropping his chin down on top of Will’s head. He was starting to catch up to his height, after years of having to look up or down at each other. He tilted his head down, nose squished against Will’s hair. He squeezed his eyes shut, and Will’s arms around him tightened, hands clasped behind his back.

    They’d call twice, the first month Will was gone, and then never again.

     

    After four years without contact, Mike chances a visit to the Byers' on his way to college. It changes everything.

    Summary

    "Tell me a secret?"

    Mike asks, like he's come to do every day, late at night, when the darkness can swallow the guilt and the regret rushing out of their hearts, when their sides press together, the floor long forgotten, ever since the first Will, please, come up here.

    Will is a terrible person.

    I'm in love with you. I'm having visions. I'm in love with you. I'm not really having nightmares, Vecna is tempting me with a version of you that loves me back. I'm in love with you.

    "I think my death is the easiest solution to everything. The Upside Down will die with me."

    Will can hear Mike swallow next to him.

    "Will, I would let the world burn down to ashes if it meant keeping you in it."

    or

    They're back in Hawkins, everything is the way it's always been, except - yeah, it's still the middle of an apocalypse, Will is having nosebleeds and Mike would sacrifice the world for his best friend but is still losing him.

    Summary

    “Any of it.” Will shrugs, embarrassed. “I don’t know how to ask someone out, or how to act on a date, or how to- kiss, or anything like that.”

    “Oh.” Mike’s expression clears, and he grins. “Well, like I said, you’re a catch, so I don’t think you’d need to worry about putting people off or something. And all of that stuff is way easier than it sounds, seriously.”

    Will makes a face. “That can’t be true.”

    “I’m serious!” Mike says, laughing a little. “Here, we can practice.” He shifts on the bed, arranging his legs beneath him and sitting up a little straighter, running a casual hand through his hair. “Pretend I’m a guy you like.”

    Practice makes perfect, especially when the person you're practicing with is your best friend.

    Summary

    Of the few things Will knows, he is certain about only one thing; He is broken. His mind is twisted, bent, the wrong way around. Despite Jonathan telling him he's fine, Will knows the truth. His time in the clutches of Martin Brenner and Henry Creel only made it worse. What hope is there for him? And why are there so many people suddenly on his side?

    Or: Will's slow and difficult road of recovery after escaping a conversion therapy camp.

    Summary

    To prevent Will from being a vessel for Vecna's spying through their shared link every time he gets a tingle in his neck, Mike has to be touching Will to ward Vecna's influence away. It could be a hand hold, a hug, or even a cuddling session. It's awkward for both Mike and Will, especially since Mike is still dating El and El is a big supporter of it if that's what it takes to keep Will safe. But being Will's temporary cure isn't the only problem of Mike's. He's hiding symptoms of being cursed.
