Summary
He flipped open the yearbook and slid it across the table.
"Every junior and senior at Hawkins High is in this book. I need you to go through the photos and find out which guys could be interested in Will."
El stared at him. "You want me to look into people's heads to find out if they are gay?"
His face lit up. "Yes! Exactly. I knew you'd understand."
"Mike. I can not do that." El frowned at him, looking genuinely let down.
Mike's smile dropped. "What? Why not?"
Determined that Will deserves someone who loves him, Mike enlists El to use her powers to scan the Hawkins High yearbook and identify every gay guy in school. She gives him three names. Mike gives himself a week to find Will the perfect boyfriend.

Summary
There stood Mike, frozen like a statue. In front of him, Will was bent over, digging through the fruit drawer of the refrigerator. After a moment, Will straightened up with a ripe peach in hand. Ted watched his son continue staring at the exact spot Will’s backside had just occupied, wearing an expression of pure, hopeless longing.
Ted considered quietly backing out of the room.
"For God's sake, Michael," He said, instead. "Either take something out or close the door. I'm not paying to refrigerate the whole neighborhood."
Will turned around, blinking in mild confusion.
Mike’s face bloomed bright red. The blush was quickly overtaken by a scowl. He slammed the refrigerator door hard enough to rattle every magnet on it. “I was getting something! Sorry it took more than two seconds-"
“When exactly did your mother start storing the snacks in the back pockets of Will’s jeans?”
“Oh my God.” Mike spun on his heel and stormed toward the stairs. “You are so-" The rest was lost to thundering footsteps and the inevitable slam of his bedroom door.
Or, Ted realizes sometimes you need to be locked in the closet before coming out of it.

Summary
“Just be honest! You’re trying to dim my sparkle!” Mike argued.
Will rolled his eyes. “I am not trying to dim your sparkle, Mike.”
Mike crossed his arms, pouting. “Bullshit! You so are!”
“Exhibit A,” Will said, cocking his head as his point was just proved. “I’m just saying…Rowan has been talking a lot more now that he’s about to turn two, so I think it's time for us to really start trying not to swear in front of him.”
“You say ‘we,’ but we both know you're only talking about me here,” Mike said plainly, getting into his side of the bed.
“I didn't say that, Mike.”
Now it was Mike’s turn to cock his head in victory. “You didn't have to.”
Mike Wheeler's wallet is in trouble when Will decides they need to implement a swear jar to discourage swearing around the kids. Here's 5 times Mike (and the party) slips up, and 1 time Will does.

Summary
Slowly, he rolls onto his side, curling inward without meaning to. His palms settle against his lower stomach, fingers spread wide, hands bigger than they used to be. Or maybe all of him is bigger, and he's aging, and his body is just more his now than he can remember.
He feels so empty.
Just one heartbeat, only his voice in his head, one lonely body curled up in bed.
---
“Will, come on.” The doorknob rattles. “You're freaking me out.” Mike sounds closer now, worried. “I'm sick of you pushing me away. I'm not joking around.”
Will imagines him standing on the other side of the door, one hand gripping the frame, eyebrows drawn together. Waiting, the way he always is.
“At least let me know you're alive in there.” Mike's voice cracks, and the sound makes Will's throat tighten immediately. “Will, I'm serious, and I mean it. I'll break this door down.”
or, my take on Will's trauma from Henry's assault and the slugs, post canon. Read tags!!
