Summary
“Aren’t you cold, Will?” Mike keeps going, studying his face. “You’re always cold.” He doesn’t even wait for an answer.
“Here, give me your hands,” he says quickly, already holding his own out toward Will. “I’ll warm them.” He looks at Will a second too intensely, like this matters far more than it should. Robin snorts quietly.
“Oh, thanks Mike,” Will says, flustered. “I’m okay, but maybe—” he fumbles with his coat pockets, distracted, searching for something, finally pulling out a pair of blue gloves. “You might need these. You can have mine.”
or; Mike is painfully obvious about his feelings for Will, yet he’s convinced no one has noticed; no one at all, except for Robin Buckley.

Summary
After being forced into playing seven minutes in heaven, Will and Mike find themselves trapped in a closet, for much longer than just seven minutes.
If they want to get out, they need to hear each other out, and maybe for a short moment, go beyond boundaries to come to terms with their own feelings.

Summary
"Are we still friends?”
“Yeah, of course we’re friends, Will.”
“We used to be best friends.”
Mike doesn’t reply immediately, and Will feels that familiar drop in his stomach. Part of him expected Mike to defend their friendship straight away, but the hesitation reminds him that it isn’t one sided, and that Mike does know. His distance is intentional.
In other words, Mike and Will grow apart in the 18 months living together, and Will is determined to find out why his best friend can't even look him in the eye anymore.

Summary
After losing Joyce and Jonathan in a car accident he can barely remember, Will Byers is left living with Lonnie and trying to survive a life that feels permanently broken. A new school brings familiar cruelty especially from Mike Wheeler, a boy hiding his own fear and desire behind violence/homophobia. When a class project forces them together, hatred turns into something far more dangerous: truth.
This story is sad asf BUT has a happy ending! You will feel so sorry for poor Will :((

It turns out, Will Byers is a bit more than he appeared to be.
Everyone has some opinions on that, especially Will himself.

Hopefully I'll be able to update this semi-consistently until Vol. 2 releases, at which point this entire thing will be non-canon.

Summary
Mike just had to survive one summer.
One summer of shared rooms.
Shared clothes.
Shared glances.
Shared touches that lasted one heartbeat too long.
How hard could it be?
Will was his best friend. His best friend. Nothing more. Nothing he should want more than that.
No matter what his gut whispered, no matter how his pulse stuttered every time Will smiled at him… that was who Will was. That was who Will had to be.
And nothing—nothing—could be allowed to change that. -

Summary
Will can’t figure out what triggers his new powers. El tries her best to help but maybe the answer was in himself all along. Also his head hurts a lot and he’s hearing voices. Probably not related but Mike needs to be there for every second.
