Summary
-*-
All Mike and Will wanted was to remain best friends, living in the same old town, sharing the same old flannels, going to the same school and playing in the same arcade for the rest of their long, long childhoods.
Destiny had another plan... One that involved puberty and relocation and multiple dimensions and one bed and plastic flower heads and a few different types of lava lamps and a really big mindfuck and lots of trauma and lots of healing and lots of rocks and more tragedy and a couple tornadoes, and Jimmy and a blue tiger and a yellow frog who wasn't really a frog and--
It all happened so fast...

Summary
'In every generation, there is a Chosen One. They alone shall stand against the vampires, the demons, and the forces of darkness. They are the Slayer...'
In this generation, Mike is sick of all that bullshit.
He just wants to be a normal fucking teenager with a normal fucking life and it's all complete fucking bullshit because Jane's a vampire, Hopper is Mike's asshole Watcher and Will is the doppelganger of Mike's dream crush who he accidentally turned into some kind of magical were-coyote.

Summary
Will finally makes eye contact with him again, a smile playing on his lips. Mike’s eyes dart down to them for a split second, then back up. “Okay.”
“Yeah?”
“Yeah. I mean, whatever, right? We live together, for God’s sake, and we’ve known each other forever. Who cares if we have to hold hands for three days, too?”
“Exactly,” Mike says too quickly. As stupid as Robin’s plan had sounded when she’d proposed it, now that things were falling into place he found himself eager to get it underway. Treat Will like royalty. Easy.***
Three whole days Will’s heart hasn’t known whether to swell or break or rupture like his appendix. But he’s being discharged tomorrow, so it won’t be an issue for much longer, so for now he just pretends that the hand on his arm wants to be there. Because Will Byers-Hopper has never been chosen on purpose, and until tomorrow, he can pretend that this arrangement didn’t come about under duress.
OR:
New York City, October, 1989. Things have been better since Will moved away from Hawkins and Mike followed him. Until Will's appendix bursts and, in the chaos of getting him to the hospital and finding a medical proxy, Mike accidentally tells the doctors he's his boyfriend.

Great small moments. Way too much internal monologue.

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
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
Mike was sick of them. Sick of their double dates, their couple's costumes, inside jokes and plans they just have to make a 'couples thing'. Sure, the six of them still hung out together all the time, but Mike and Will would always end up ostracized by default, unable to communicate with them now that they only spoke the language of love and nothing else. And that summer, at the cottage, it definitely wouldn't be any different.
or
It's 1993. The party goes over to Lucas's family cottage for the summer; Mike and Will get bothered by how often they're excluded from all the couples stuff their friends do, which leads them to start pretending to be dating in the most insufferable way they can come up with. They just weren't counting on it completely blurring the lines of their friendship.
