    Summary

    “Any of it.” Will shrugs, embarrassed. “I don’t know how to ask someone out, or how to act on a date, or how to- kiss, or anything like that.”

    “Oh.” Mike’s expression clears, and he grins. “Well, like I said, you’re a catch, so I don’t think you’d need to worry about putting people off or something. And all of that stuff is way easier than it sounds, seriously.”

    Will makes a face. “That can’t be true.”

    “I’m serious!” Mike says, laughing a little. “Here, we can practice.” He shifts on the bed, arranging his legs beneath him and sitting up a little straighter, running a casual hand through his hair. “Pretend I’m a guy you like.”

    Practice makes perfect, especially when the person you're practicing with is your best friend.

    Summary

    Mike breathes out sharply, sinking to his knees in front of Will without conscious thought. Every bone in his body is turning to jelly, because Will is here, but he's also- not. His form is made up of the same dusty gold that fills the air around him, flaking off him and dancing around. Mike wants to reach out and catch the light in his palm. Will looks not entirely solid, like this is some poor imitation of him rendered in light particles, like his physical form is somewhere else, and for a horrible moment Mike thinks that Will is a ghost after all. That this is an illusion, brought about by Mike's hopeless yearning. If it weren't for the pebbles digging sharply into his legs as he knees on the ground and the crisp chill of the spring air on his face, Mike would be sure he was dreaming, but he doesn't think he could dream up something so simultaneously as magical and horrifying as the specter of his maybe-dead friend hovering before him.

    "Will," he whispers, reaching out until his fingers are centimeters from Will's arm, and Will's eyes fly open.

    on march 29th, 1986, will byers vanishes for a second time. 366 days later, he reappears.

    Summary

    “Can I ask you something?”
    Will laughs a little, shaking his head with an expression of complete bewilderment. “You already have.”
    “Something else.”
    Will shrugs. Mike wonders what he’s thinking. “Go for it.”
    “It might be weird,” Mike warns in a stage whisper. He isn’t sure what’s weird or not anymore. He has a feeling this question crosses the line, but the feeling isn’t strong enough to stop him from asking. Not with Will standing so close, looking so glowy and perfect.
    “Whatever, Mike,” Will laughs. “It can’t be weirder than what’s already happened to-”
    “Have you ever thought about us?”

    In which Mike Wheeler gets drunk, tries to kiss his best friend, and is generally an idiot. What else is new.

    Summary

    A wide smile breaks across Mike’s face and not even a moment later, Mike’s on the ground in front of him, wrapping his arms around the back of Will’s neck and his back and pulling him into a hug so tight that it makes his wounds ache, just a little.

    “Holy shit,” Mike says into the crook of Will’s neck. He sounds just as breathless as Will is feeling. “Holy shit, Will.”

    “Yeah,” Will laughs lightly, “Holy shit.”

    Or, Will and Mike after battle.
