Summary
“Are you just not speaking today?”
It was a genuine question.
His throat felt drier than usual. Will forced himself to swallow, shakily nodding.
El nodded as well, turning back to her food. “Then I will not as well.”
Will stared at her after that one, a little dumbfounded. Was she.. serious?
—
In which Will Byers is selectively mute, and out of everyone throughout his life to be apart of him, El makes him feel the least like a freak for everything.

Summary
It doesn’t matter that Daniel bounded up out of the ocean fine and dandy, hardly a scratch on him. Daniel dying is the memory Jack's brain likes to replay, over and over and over again.

Summary
“How’d you manage it, anyway?” Mike asked, trying to sound casual and failing a little. “I mean, I knew you could do it, but,” he gestured vaguely with his hands. “How did you actually do it? Tap into the hive?”
Will’s cheeks flushed pink at once. He glanced away, eyes dropping to the tiled floor.
“I thought about my mom,” he said softly. “And Jonathan. About when I was a little kid. And…” He hesitated, then looked back up. “And you.”
💕💕💕💕
In the aftermath of season 5 episode 4, Mike cleans the dirt from Will’s skin and realises he’s been in love with his best friend for years. The world can wait. Just for a moment.
Inspired by the episode 5 clip.

Summary
This is what Mike’s been thinking about, in between worrying whether they’re all going to die, which definitely suggests that his priorities are a little out of whack, but he can’t help it. The past year has been bizarre, to put it lightly, but he thought that one of the better things to come out of it is that he and Will are friends again, like, real, close friends. He’s wondered, once or twice, in the midst of his own relationship’s crumbling status, whether Will has ever had any romantic entanglements, whether he plans to. Previously, Mike had ruled it out, because he thought if Will was interested in someone that he’d tell him about it, or at least not hide it. But Robin mentioned a date, and Will’s the only guy she’s been around lately except for Steve, who’s pretty obviously still hung up on Nancy (ew), so, like, what else is Mike supposed to think?
Will has made a new friend. Mike feels normal about it, really.

Summary
Gently, gently, Mike urges him forward.
This is it; this is happening.
He can hardly breathe and Will’s nearing face is the whole world. His eyes are still open, startled and huge, the last thing Mike sees. Their noses brush, chilled from the water that gushed over them in the bathroom and from the frigid November air, but the first press of their lips is so warm.
“Oh,” Will sighs into the tiny space between their mouths, tremulous with their breathing. “Oh, Mike—"
Will saves Mike's life, and there's nothing to be afraid of anymore.
