Summary
“So, I’ve been thinking," Mike throws his head back into the sofa’s head rest. “You know how I talk about girls all the time?”
The pencil in Will’s hand freezes for just a moment, something Mike wouldn’t have been able to tell at all if he wasn’t staring right at Will’s hands to avoid his gaze. “So?”
“Well, I’ve been thinking, right?”
Will looks up, but Mike isn’t looking back at him. He’s picking at a loose thread on the couch cushion. “What, about girls?”
“No,” Mike shakes his head, “about boys."
Will nearly chokes on his tongue. “You’ve been thinking about boys?”
or, mike conducts an uncomfortably elaborate semester-long personal inquiry project on how to be a better straight ally to his gay best friend. for educational reasons only. obviously

“So… Have you and Mike fucked yet?”
Will nearly spits out his drink. “What?!”
Max rolls her eyes. “Sorry, I forgot how you two are.” Her lip turns up, as she draws out her next words in an exaggerated fashion.
“Have you made love yet?”
The one where Will is sexually repressed, and he's quite literally losing his sanity over it.

Summary
For their senior year spring break, the Party sets sail on a 7-day cruise to celebrate the next chapter of their lives. Not much has changed since their last reunion, as long as you don’t count Mike and Will breaking up two years ago, which fractured the friend group permanently and made it so neither of them could stand to be within ten feet of each other.
It’ll be a trip they never forget - that much Will is sure of.

Summary
“What in the absolute fuck are you doing here?”
“I—” Mike tries, but the words die in his throat. Will’s the first to pull away, but Mike wants to stay tucked into his warm, dry arms and neck and scent forever. “I missed you.”
“You — you missed me?”
Mike flushes crimson and tears his gaze away from Will — suddenly he’s feeling a little too seen, a little too looked through. “I — yeah.”
or, the four days in which mike runs away from hawkins and shows up on the doorstep of will's east village apartment without telling a soul he was coming - including will himself

Summary
Ever since their return to Hawkins in the previous spring, Will has kept a careful distance from Mike, keeping himself busy with school clubs to avoid spending time with Mike one on one - because every time they're in a room together, he finds himself on the verge of saying things he shouldn't, asking questions he knows are only going to hurt him. But then a snowstorm wreaks havoc in Hawkins, trapping him and Mike in the Wheeler house while the rest of the family are gone. And now Will has no choice but to confront everything he has tried so hard to ignore.
