    Summary

    Steve is drunk.

    He doesn’t know what time it is, anymore. He remembers Robin leaving, reminds promising her he’ll be okay, but that must’ve been hours ago, now. He watches as the condensation on his beer drips onto his thigh, making the light wash denim darken, and pretends he isn’t listening in on the conversation across the room.

    It’s hard to make out with the party in full swing, with U2 still blaring from the speakers and a hoard of people between them, but Steve’s gotten good at reading body language. At reading expressions. At knowing who is a threat and who isn’t, and the three talking to Eddie Munson right now?

    Are threats.

    Summary

    “Is he barking up the wrong tree?”
    “I … What? Will and I are best friends.”
    “Another fact. You’re good at those. Let’s aim for a feeling, next.”

    OR

    Mike is trying his best to be quiet while Will takes a nap.

    Summary

    Mike turns around and freezes in place, staring straight at Will from across the room that’s now lit up yellow. His eyes roam up and down Will’s body with a certain curiosity—a discovery, maybe, like he’s learning something new. His throat bobs as he swallows, lips parted, and his eyebrows twitch almost too subtly to see. Just a little flick upwards.

    “I, uh,” Mike begins, “I can see you now.”

    Will smiles. It’s a so-very-Mike thing to say. “I can see you, too.”

    or, six times Mike gives Will mixed signals, and one time it comes through clearly.

    Summary

    Probably the sharpest knife in his chest about this whole shitshow? Eddie thought they were doing good.

    Like: so fucking good.

    Eddie thought they were building something.

    He’s such an idiot. Such a…

    A heartsick fucking idiot.

    But if he steps back, is as logical as he's capable of being: there hadn’t been any signs that they weren’t laying the foundations of something lasting; that they weren’t in this deep and rooted and committed, serious in a real, tangible way and, just…

    Forever. Eddie was…he was playing for keeps, here. He thought, he just—

    He really thought he wasn’t alone in all this.

    Again: idiot.

    --

    Or: Eddie never thought Steve would stop wanting him. He maybe went in reticent at first, but Steve had loved hard out the gate—so as soon as he knew he was allowed, and welcome? Eddie didn't hesitate to meet that love beat for beat.

    He just never imagined his love would ever be unwelcome; that that's how his heart would break.


    But that's just one side of the story, isn't it?

    Summary

    It’s the first time in a while that he doesn’t know what comes next. He’s dove into the water hundreds of times. Screamed as his flesh was torn apart, heard Master of Puppets in the distance and held back tears. Felt Max’s cold, small hand in his as she laid in the hospital bed. There are things that always happen, no matter how hard he tries: El doesn’t arrive in time. Eddie dies. Max is put in a coma.

    Steve fails. They lose.

    “Steve, how many loops have you been through?”

    His head is nodding, and his eyes are watery, and Eddie has approached him like a spooked animal.

    “I lost count.”

    AKA: The one where Steve Harrington is stuck in a time loop, and Eddie Munson is really fucking hard to save, or: fuck Volume 2, these bitches are in love.

    Summary

    Mike Wheeler knows this shouldn't be his main concern but he can't help but be jealous of Robin and Will's friendship. He realizes that asking Will directly may vanish his anger, but knowing that anyone can be taken at any minute, he realizes he needs to do something bigger about that.

    Summary

    "I thought you and El were broken up," is what Steve says as soon as Mike closes the van's door, like it was a burning question that he just couldn't keep in any longer.

    Mike pulls a face. "We are?"

    "You sure about that?" Steve remarks incredulously.

    Rolling his eyes and sighing to the invisible audience Mike wishes were here to witness this, Mike simply replies "Yeah pretty sure dude, since I was like, there."

    "I don't know man, you didn't seem that broken up to me."

    "We were just playing a game? Because we're friends?" And not awkward exes who can't even spend a normal car ride together. Mike doesn't get everyone's insistence that they know more about his relationship with El than he does.

    "Well if you want to get her back I can give you some advice…"

    Now it's Mike's turn to stare incredulously. No wonder Jonathan can't stand this guy.

    OR

    Mike's struggling with his feelings post MAC-Z battle. Who knew it would be Steve Harrington's words of wisdom that could help him come to terms with them?

    Summary

    Eddie can’t believe it. Steve Harrington, the object of all of his fantasies, inviting him to his party. Never, since he moved to Hawkins, did he believe that he would be.

    Finally it seemed that everything was going his way.

    Maybe 83’ was going to be his year.

    Or

    What if Eddie and Steve had a relationship pre Stranger Things plot line?

    Summary

    Distantly, he hears the Wolf snarling and grappling with the demogorgan.

    And then his blurry eyes pick up a third figure joining the fray.

    A familiar figure, armed with a crude spear, jabbing furiously at the demogorgan’s head.

    Steve’s head swims and he loses sight of anything after that, the sound of his rapidly-slowing heartbeat thudding in his ears.

    “Steve, you with me, big boy?”

    *****

    In the aftermath of Eddie’s death, of the gates opening, Steve is struggling. His bat bites refuse to heal, he can’t let go of Eddie’s bloodied vest, and his dreams are plagued by visions of Eddie, by the Upside Down, by a creature that stalks him through the night.

    Until one night, at the end of his tether, Steve returns to the Upside Down to search for the man he’d left behind.

    Summary

    “Wait,” Lucas takes another glance at Will, specifically at the sweater he’s wearing. “Is that Mike’s?”

    Here’s the other thing about the last eight or so months of Will Byers’ life: he’s been spending his nights, on and off, secretly, semi-occasionally, very frequently, kissing Mike Wheeler.

    He’s confused about it too, don’t even worry.

    Summary

    "Stop looking," Mike seethed.

    "What, I'm not allowed to look at you?" Will snapped just as angrily.

    "No!" Mike cried out.

    "Why the hell not?" Will stalked closer, his smell of oranges so sweet and so tempting that Mike had to bit on his lip to stop a whimper.

    "Because - " Mike stuttered, feeling like he was losing his mind as Will cupped his jaw. "Because - you're - you're driving me crazy, and I can't breathe around you - "

    "Yeah?" Will whispered, his eyes intense and his voice even more so. "Then what do you think you're doing to me, Wheeler?"

    ***

    Others liked to describe Dr. William Byers as the most brilliant surgeon that had graced St. Hawkins Hospital's history.

    Mike liked to describe him as hotter than the fucking sun.

    Summary

    His brain finally catches up with Mike’s words, and Mike is saying things like, “C’mon, Will—you can do it,” and “I’m so proud of you,” and “Don’t rush, it’s okay.” In the softest tone imaginable, and if Will maybe pretends to still be a little more out of it than he actually is just to keep hearing Mike talk to him like that—well, that’s his business.

    Summary

    “What else?” Eddie goads, once he’s done rolling his eyes all over Steve. “Who else is mean to poor baby rich boy, Steve Harrington?”

    “You,” Steve points out, voice high, teetering on the edge of something he doesn’t fully understand. “All the other counselors, for that matter. I see how you guys look at me.”

    And I see how you're looking at me right now, he wants to add.

    Summary

    “I love you,” Mike mumbles sleepily into his hair, wriggling closer. His arm winds across Will’s stomach, and Will feels the ghost of a kiss being pressed to the junction of his shoulder and neck.

    Will blinks his eyes open, warmth flooding the length of his body. He shifts, twisting around to peer up at Mike, squinting. “You- what?” he murmurs, lifting an eyebrow, and Mike jolts up, peeking over his shoulder sheepishly.

    “Oh,” he says, blushing as Will nudges his way to roll over onto his back, Mike hovering over him. “Sorry, I thought you were asleep.”

    Will stares up at him. “You were gonna say you loved me for the first time while I was asleep?”

    Mike lets out an undignified squeak, and drops his head down onto Will’s shoulder. “No.”

    A series of 'I love you's, both spoken and unspoken.

    Summary

    Why wasn’t Mike looking at her? His back was still trembling, and she could hear small hitches amidst heavy breathing. Then, he suddenly swiped at his face, turning around to face her.

    El froze. “Mike?”

     

    OR: Where El hates tears and thinks that touching them is disgusting. But when Mike cries in front of her, she doesn't hesitate to wipe them away and kiss his cheeks dry.
