    Summary

    The first time it happens, Will classifies it as a little accident.

    When he wakes, the morning sun is burning through the window onto their faces, and Mike’s cursing as he stands to close the curtains, stumbling all the way.

    “Scoot over,” he grumbles, voice dry, and for a second Will can’t do anything other than sigh like a lovesick idiot. It’s a second too late for Mike, because he grumbles more words Will doesn’t catch under his breath and then physically pushes Will towards the wall to lay beside him, arm over Will’s middle. A second of silence passes, then Mike sighs, only to whine: “Fuck, my head hurts.”

    Will can’t help it: he breaks down laughing, much to Mike’s offense.

    ---------------

    Alternatively: five times Mike kissed Will, and one time Will kissed back.

    Summary

    Today isn't about him at all. It's Jane's perfect reunion with her boyfriend, and Will doesn't have a place within it. It doesn't matter that he's missed Mike, too. It doesn't matter that today is Will's birthday. He shouldn't even be there, not when their plans are only really for Jane and Mike. He's intruding, and he knows himself well enough to know that he's not going to be able to put on a happy face and let himself be excluded without showing just how badly it hurts him. He'll only ruin their time together if he sticks around.

    Will decides to go home by himself rather than go with Mike and Jane to Rink-O-Mania.

    Summary

    “You… um, smoke?” Will asks before he can stop himself, swallowing as he watches a boy lean against the dusty, cracking brick wall.

    Will doesn’t know much about the boy, except that his name is Mike and his father is the pastor.

    “What?” He replies, pulling the cigarette from his lips and lightly blowing the smoke from his mouth. “Just because my dad is the pastor, you think I can’t enjoy a cigarette?

    OR:

    Will Byers is no stranger to religious guilt. He carries it everywhere he goes, and it’s starting to weigh him down.

    When he meets Mike Wheeler, the pastor’s son, he realizes there is more to life than just fearing God, and it’s much scarier.

    Summary

    “Hopper doesn’t know I’m gay.”

    Jonathan squinted at him, mind prone to lag in the morning. “Why would Hopper not know? You told us as clearly as you could without using the word—”

    “He was already on the way to Radio Shack,” Will said in a rush. He gripped his bag tighter so his arms wouldn’t start to flail with panicky emphasis. “He wasn’t there when I came out.”
