Summary
“I panicked, Max. Like, full-body—couldn't breathe."
"Maybe you just need to find someone who can pay attention to you," Max tells him. "Someone who would notice if you were about to freak out, or something."
They're not talking about Mike, obviously, even though he'd be so good at that job.
OR
Mike overhears Will talking about a failed bondage attempt with his boyfriend. Mike becomes obsessed with the idea that he could do better.

“You want me to dance?” he asks, bringing a tumbler over for him.
“Don’t I always?”
“You look different tonight. Like you’re not actually here.”
Atsumu studies him for a moment, the intensity of his gaze making Kiyoomi feel more naked than he’s ever been. Finally, with a sigh, Atsumu leans back and rubs his face. “Just got a lot of shit going on. It’s why I wanted to see you.”
“Do you want to talk?”
Atsumu laughs. “You offer therapy sessions for all of your clients?”
Kiyoomi shakes his head and rounds the coffee table to sit on it. “Just the special ones.”

u/MWpaladin commented on “Can’t tell the difference between sorcerers and…” posted by u/LionsandTigers7 on r/DnDu/MWpaladin: Are you an actual idiot? Sorcerers and wizards are hardly even comparable. It’s not ‘the same thing’ in the slightest. A sorcerer’s magic doesn’t even come from a book of spells, their powers are INNATE. Maybe go back to third fucking grade before you ever try and DM a campaign of your own. Jesus Christ. Another important differentiation to note is… [expand]
Or: a long, very long, retrospective of Mike’s reddit history.

Summary
“You should’ve seen the way you ran in here, man. I don’t think I’ve ever seen you move so fast.” His roommate takes a long pull of the joint dangling in his fingers. “You’re fuckin’ whipped, bro.”
Mike knows he looks stupid, unable to control the way his eyebrows furrow and his lips curl in complete confusion. Then his roommate rolls his eyes and makes a gesture like he’s cracking a whip, complete with sound effect. His cheeks heat up, the realization suddenly dawning on him.
He thinks Mike was on the phone to his girlfriend.
He thinks Mike has a girlfriend.
He thinks that Will is Mike’s girlfriend.
Everyone at college thinks Mike has a girlfriend. There's just one problem. The 'girlfriend' in question is Will Byers. Mike's best friend. Platonic with a capital P. He's so screwed.

Summary
“’Morning,” Mike grumbled, voice low from sleep.
“Noon,” Max corrected, as if she hadn’t only woken up thirty minutes before him.
“Wow,” he replied, squinting at the light. “Nobody thought to wake me?”
It happened casually after that, so casually it almost didn’t register at first. El laughed at something Lucas said, then turned toward Mike and leaned in, instinctively, easily, pressing a kiss to his lips like it was the most logical way to say good morning to him.
.........
Or: Mike and Will have been together for a year and a half when El comes back. The problem is, El assumes she and Mike are still together. The bigger problem is that Mike doesn’t realize Will thinks he might choose her.

Summary
Mike has kissed exactly one girl since El: Gracie Jenkins, at a party Stacey Albright threw a few weeks ago, before everyone went off to college. He hadn’t liked it, but he’d assumed that was more or less to be expected, that moving on from El would be easier said than done. He was making peace with the possibility that he might never move on, really—that any future romance was just doomed from the start.
Eric kisses him and, immediately, he likes it.
It takes one week of college for Mike to drunkenly make out with a boy at a party, and even less time for him to connect the rest of the dots.

Summary
William got to his feet and turned around, prayer book clutched to his chest. Michael was standing in the center of the chapel, obviously just come from sparring practice. He was still wearing his dented cuirass, a leather pauldron on his right shoulder. The moonlight through the stained-glass windows painted him in blue and gold.
“Forgot to leave your armor behind in the gymnasium?” asked William lightly, skirting around him to set the prayer book back in its tabernacle.
“Something like that,” said Michael. He stepped out of the shaft of light, joining William at the perimeter of the circular room.
William closed the ornate wooden door of the tabernacle and turned to face him. “How did you know I’d be here?”
“I know you,” Michael said simply. I love you, he might as well have said, for the way it sent William’s heart skittering inside his chest.
Michael has been betrothed to the princess since their infancy. But it’s her brother he really wants.

“No. No, that can’t be right.”
“You don’t know anything about yourself, why is this so hard to believe?”
“Because I’m gay.”
Will freezes.
Mike is confused. He doesn’t know what he’s talking about. He barely knows his own name.
“Mike, you’re not gay.”

Summary
“We need to get less mainstream. We need more rumors. We need controversy.”
“Okay,” Will says. “So what, you wanna share a microphone again?”
“No,” Mike says, shaking his head, expression deadly serious. “No, we need to escalate.”
Will swallows hard. “What do you mean?”
Mike shrugs, suddenly lowering his gaze, shifting his weight a little. “I think we should kiss.”
Mike and Will are in a band together and decide to make out on stage. To be controversial, of course. No other reason.

Summary
“Your boyfriend?” she prompted, speaking quite slowly and carefully as though she was talking to a toddler, “You know, the fake boyfriend you use as an excuse every time someone asks you out?”
Will blinked surprisedly, then cracked up laughing, “What?” he said, “Fake boyfriend?” he repeated, grinning, “You do realise — you know my boyfriend isn’t fake, right? I do have a boyfriend. For the past year and a half, actually.”
Will Byers’ boyfriend is something of a myth amongst the residents of RISD. Nobody has met him, he supposedly helped to save Will’s life, and he goes to Brown. Seriously… who is this guy?
Or; Byler from the perspective of Will’s college friends.

Summary
Will thinks this was what he’d been anticipating all night. Sure, he doesn’t feel an actual need to scent-mark, or to experience it… but he thinks he’d like to with Mike. And if Lucas’ smell was bothering Mike that much…
“Okay, fine. Let’s do it.” Will flicks up the sleeve of his shirt on his wrist and holds it up.
Mike’s expression wavers.
“Or, if you want to back out…” Will asks worriedly, letting his hand fall.
“No, I—I guess I just assumed. The neck’s the best place to do it, right?”
On the cusp of presentation, is Will really ready for the changes heading his way? Especially the uncertainty regarding his... friendship with Mike. Or was friendship even the right way to categorise them, anymore?

Summary
“It’s not like I don’t drink at college too, you know, I mean, just because I don’t go to frat parties, if you’re worried I’m going to judge you or something—”
“That’s not what—” Will huffed out a laugh, staring up at the ceiling. He turned around. “I go to gay bars, okay? It’s—just, not your scene. Obviously.”
Will’s face twisted on that last word, half a grimace. For some reason, it was a punch to the gut. Something defiant rose up within Mike.
“Well, do you have to be a card-carrying member to get in, or something?” he asked, eyebrows raised. “I mean, a bar’s a bar, right?”
Will’s face broke into an uncertain smile. “Mike…”
“I came here for the Will Byers New York experience,” Mike said, earnestly. “Am I going to get it, or what?”
Mike visits Will in New York and realizes a few things.

Summary
“Just saying, if you’re taking another hit, you should share it with me,” Mike says, and Will slowly tilts his head, drinking in every word. “It just makes sense. Like, mathematically.”
Will’s reddened eyes narrow, bewildered. “Mathematically?”
“If there’s two hits left, we’d each only get one,” Mike explains. “But if we shotgunned, we’d both get two.” God, this is the best idea he’s had in ages. He should’ve stolen Will’s weed, like, months ago. “That’s like, bang for your buck. This is simple math, Will Byers. Keep up.”
In which it’s well past midnight in New York, Will can’t sleep, and Mike feels like they barely know each other anymore.
So, they get a little high. Mike is very normal about all of it.

Summary
“Uh-huh,” Mike says faintly, and he yelps when they narrowly avoid the edge of a shining skyscraper, and his hands clutch onto Spiderman instinctively. “Oh – my fucking God, that –”
Spiderman’s fingers press a little firmly into Mike’s shirt. "Just – hang on!"
"What do you mean just hang – was that a pun," Mike sputters, clutching onto Spiderman for dear life as they swing through the city, and he can hear the superhero laugh through the racing wind in his ears, the rumble of it under Mike’s arm wrapped around his middle.
In a city of superheroes, Mike keeps running into Spiderman, much to his dismay.
On a completely different and unrelated note, Mike also attempts to woo and charm his neighbor into a date.- Language:

Summary
Will’s eyelashes flutter as he sinks further, pushing Lucas backwards, hands pressing tighter into the fabric of Lucas’s shirt, bunching it up just slightly at the waist. Mike aches and aches. He doesn’t know how he must look, slack-jawed and wide eyed, face burning at the sight of Will’s satisfied hum into another boy’s mouth.
Or: Will won’t stop kissing other boys, and Mike has no idea what to do with himself.
