Summary
“I need like– actionable steps. ‘Act normal’ is too vague.”
Will sighs and reaches over to turn the radio down even quieter.
“Ok for one, stop staring at my mouth,” Will says.
Mike glances over at him automatically.
Will laughs. “See? That’s exactly what I mean. You’ve been doing it for years, but now it’s like…it’s a lot, Mike. People are gonna notice.”
“But I wanna kiss you,” Mike whines.
It’s been a week since Mike and Will got together – one blissful week, like a honeymoon before the wedding. Now they’re in Montauk for Joyce and Hopper’s, surrounded by friends and family, and trying to fly under the radar. Somewhere along the way, Mike realizes he doesn’t want to hide anymore.
Or, two horny idiots in love struggle to keep their relationship hidden.

Summary
After Eleven dies, Mike Wheeler starts needing Will Byers in a way that has teeth.
Same bed every night. Mike counting Will’s breaths, Will’s shivers, every place his mouth has been allowed and every place he has forbidden himself to touch. Will keeps asking what they are. Mike keeps not answering.
A fight in Will’s studio goes too far. When he wakes, the world has gone quiet.
Years later, Will is learning how to live without waiting for Mike Wheeler to choose him. Mike is learning, badly and late, that loving Will with everything in him was never the same as loving him the way Will needed.
or:
Mike Wheeler is being eaten alive by his OCD, Will Byers has spent too long mistaking need for love, and neither of them knows when the thing between them became a compulsion. What's left is distance, and therapy, and the slow, quiet work of building a life in the silence. A psychological slow burn about the difference between loving someone and needing them to stay.

Summary
Mike puts the car into park, but doesn’t tear his gaze away from the windshield. “Say it.”
Will splutters. “Say what?”
“Like we’re what, Will? Say it. Why do I make your boyfriend so nervous?”
“You’re being a jerk.” He looks down and picks at a loose thread on his sweater.
Mike is being a jerk, but he’s just tired. And Will is here in Mike’s car in the middle of nowhere, protected by the growing darkness of the evening, and goddamnit, Mike wants to hear him say it. He wants to hear Will say Mike isn’t better.
Or: Mike and Will have been Mike and Will for sixteen years. Mike is not going to Will let someone else ruin that.
