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.”

Summary
“That’s because she loves you.” Mike tells him “And she thinks you have a very lickable face.” he adds, teasingly.
“Does she?” Will asks, eyebrows raised “Or do you?” he teases, in a moment of bravery.
“You do know what they say…” Mike shrugs, before locking his eyes with Will's hazel ones “Like father, like daughter.” he tells him, boldly.
Will's face goes bright pink at the statement.
God, how is he surviving this at all?OR
Mike and Will rescue a little kitten from the rain. It leads to a lot of wondering, hoping, bickering and falling in love.

Summary
The feeling of being wanted is a powerful drug. Being wanted by the one you want is incomparable.
"Mike," Will says lowly. "You’re— You’re so close."
Too close, his brain supplies, a little hysterical. Too much.
Mike doesn’t pull away. "I know."
"Why?"
"Keeping up…" Mike exhales a short laugh that Will feels on his neck, "appearances."

A guy hits on Will at a party, Mike leaves with a hickey, and by morning everybody thinks they're dating.
Will knows it’s supposed to be pretend. He just doesn’t know how to act like he hasn’t wanted this for as long as he can remember.

Summary
Her gaze dropped to Mike’s hand on Will’s wrist. “Don’t hurt Papa!” she begged desperately.
For a split moment, Will didn’t understand, the thought so far-fetched, improbable, and ridiculous that it didn’t even cross his mind, but then the realization hit him like a bucket of cold water being dumped over his head.
She thought Mike was going to hit him.
Mike must’ve understood it at the same time, because his hand fell away, quick, like he’d been burned.
.........or: When Will and Mike’s four-year-old daughter walks in on an argument, she mistakes raised voices and hands for something far worse: she thinks Mike is going to hurt Will.

Summary
“Just think about it, William," Henry continues, likely after he's decided Will has ruminated on this for an appropriate amount of time. "All the things we could do together. We could build a new world, clean up the muck in the one that exists. No one has to get hurt. Think about it. I’ll be waiting for your answer.”
Henry’s arm lurches out in front of him, and all Will can do is stare in horror as one bony finger moves in towards his forehead. His eyes squeeze shut as a fingernail breaches his skin, and his vision goes white, then black.
“Will?”
That is definitely not Henry’s voice.
It's 1987, the Upside Down is infiltrating Hawkins, and Will's new home is Mike Wheeler's basement. As if that isn't bad enough, Will starts having odd dreams. At least, he thinks they're just dreams -- but if they're only dreams, why is he waking up in the Wheeler's front yard?
