Summary
Jane parked herself in front of the table. She was still learning how to match colours (“She’s experimenting and finally feels free to be herself,” as Will would’ve put it): she was wearing one of Jonathan’s dark green-and-ocean-blue plaid shirts, a pair of pants that was definitely too big, and a pink headband with an obnoxiously large bow.
Lucas, bracing for the worst, shrank down behind the table. Dustin was preparing for the impact. Mike, meanwhile, was staring at Will like an idiot, completely hypnotized by his sweet smile.
«What is Valentine’s Day?»-
A bet, a kissing booth. What could possibly go wrong? -

Summary
«It’s like he lost his compass. I thought it was about that accident, but I don’t think that’s the full story. There’s a missing piece and I can’t find it. It’s in the way Mike moves and speaks and… the way he looks at Will. We both know he’s always had a sort of attraction to Will, but now… I’m worried.»
( ... )Will couldn’t see it, but Mike was smiling: a slow, almost predatory curve.
«I-I’ll call… We have to call your parents, Mike, or Hop, I think—»
«It’s not my blood.»
«W… What?»
«It’s not my blood, Will.» Mike’s tone softened suddenly, gentle now, almost teasing. He spoke in that characteristic Will’s voice, as if he was addressing a child who couldn’t yet understand.
A long silence settled over the room. -

Summary
Mike has always been good at creating stories. He brought entire worlds to life and hidden paths bloomed on the tip of his tongue; 𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑑𝑠 𝑤𝑒𝑟𝑒 𝘩𝑖𝑠 𝑚𝑎𝑔𝑖𝑐 𝑙𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑢𝑎𝑔𝑒. His voice lifted, bright with enthusiasm, as he imagined their adventures in Faraway Land.
Will used to watch him, full of awe and wonder: 𝘩𝑒 𝑤𝑎𝑠 𝘩𝑖𝑠 𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑠𝑡 𝑙𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑛𝑒𝑟. 𝐻𝑖𝑠 𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑠𝑡 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑑𝑒𝑟.
Will was quieter than Mike. He was used to taking up as little space as possible. The only people with whom he truly felt safe were Mike and his older brother Jonathan. 𝐻𝑖𝑠 𝑙𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑢𝑎𝑔𝑒 𝑤𝑎𝑠 𝑐𝑜𝑙𝑜𝑢𝑟: Will was good at drawing, at bringing Mike’s stories to life with colored pencils, with crayons. When speaking made him too anxious, he drew: Will drew his dreams, his nightmares.

«Sunflower.»
Mike smiled. He memorized that detail.
Michael Wheeler memorized everything about William Byers.𝐖𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠: 𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐬, 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐮𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐝𝐞.

Summary
It's 1992, and Mike and Will are juniors in college and living together in a tiny NYC apartment. Life is great. It's everything Mike could ever want: his best friend, an incredible city, and the world at his fingertips. The only problem? He's in love with said best friend and has no idea how he could ever tell him.
Luckily for him, he's presented with an opportunity to get much closer to him every Friday night, as long as he promises not to get all weird after. How hard could that be?
Or: Mike and Will become friends with benefits and the universe laughs because they're both ridiculously in love with each other.

Summary
“Will?” Mike whispers tentatively.
“Hmm?”
"I love you," Mike breathes against his neck, the words imprinted on Will's skin where they will haunt him nightly.
"Liar." Will snaps, voice tight as Mike's hands desperately thread through Will’s hair, needing to feel more of him.
"I’m not. I'm so in love with you, Will," Mike whispers, voice trembling.
Will stiffens, clutching Mike's shirt tighter, knuckles white with strain.
"If you're not lying, you're so fucking cruel."or Mike has a girlfriend but always goes back to Will, no matter who he's dating.

Summary
“So. Logical conclusion?” Dustin grinned down at him, pleased. “You’re in love with Mike and heartbroken that he and El made up. You’re welcome.”
Will sighed. “Dustin, I already knew I was in love with Mike.”
Will Byers is not avoiding his friends—he’s just busy.
Busy avoiding Mike Wheeler, busy lying about homework, and busy trying (and failing) to get over the boy he’s been in love with for years.
Unfortunately, Dustin Henderson has noticed. And he has a plan.

Summary
“That is dumb.” She blinked. “I do not care if Will brings a boy. Will is Will. He is kind. He should be able to go with us and a boy and have fun.”
“Exactly!” Dustin snaps. “Which is why I’m asking Will to be my prom date!”
Or
Dustin Henderson has a plan.
It is a good plan.
The fact that it may cause emotional fallout, accidental matchmaking, and unforeseen consequences is not his fault.- Language:
