    Summary

    "Mike, come on," Will says, his smile still mid-bloom. "You don't think that's a little weird?"

    "No," Mike says simply. "Why would that be weird?"

    "Because I'm—" Will gestures vaguely to himself. "Gay. And you're…"

    Will trails off, stopping himself, as if it just occurred to him that he could be wrong about the way he planned to answer that sentence. Mike isn't sure how he'd answer it either.

    High, he thinks. Will is gay and I am high.

    OR

    The party does MDMA and Mike can't stop touching Will.

    Summary

    Mike kicks his feet into the space in front of them, as he looks down at the ground. There was a time, a year ago now, where Mike’s first thought would be dangerous, something that could get him institutionalized if anyone knew. Now, he’s mostly contemplating how it would be if he takes Will’s hand again, links their fingers together, traces the back of Will’s knuckles, and slowly pours each of his feelings out into the open. 

    (Or, It's summer of 1989 and Mike Wheeler learns that he's allowed to be happy.)

    Summary

    Dustin looks between them. “I’m sorry, how did you find out about this?”

    “Oh, wait till you hear about the bucket list game they’ve got going on,” Max tells Dustin, with zero subtlety and no intent of it anyway. Will glares at her. “They’re even one-upping each other now.”

    Just 39,000 words of Mike and Will going on dates that they're not calling dates, falling more and more in love, and learning about themselves and their gay journey in 1989 New York City.

    Summary

    When the lights go out, only speed remains - and one guy worth risking everything for.

    or: f1 au where four-time champion Mike Wheeler lost his spark years ago, until Will Byers came along. The problem is, Mike always thought he was straight and Will is the only one making him question it. The faster they go, the harder it gets to deny.

    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.
