    Summary

    There are three things Will and Mike learn on a random afternoon after high school graduation:

    - Teen magazine quizzes are way more intense than expected.
    - They are wildly unprepared for college.
    - Taking advice from anonymous “fever confessions” is a terrible idea.

    Unfortunately, they only realize the third one after they’ve already started acting on the first two.

    Or:

    Will and Mike accidentally read a very inappropriate teen magazine and decide the best way to prepare for college is to practice being less inexperienced… on each other.

    Summary

    Mike turns around and sees Will standing in the middle of the hallway and stops.

    "Hey," he says. "Can I help you find something?"

    His voice in person is slightly different from the radio. This is the version before the edit. Louder, and a little breathless from arguing, and entirely unaware of how often Will had listened to him.

    "I'm here about a logo commission," Will says. He sounds, he thinks, almost normal. Even with his brain operating at half-capacity.

    Mike's eyebrows go up in surprise. "We're getting a new logo?"

    Summary

    Will and Mike accidentally overhear a couple talking dirty over the walkie, and start repeating some of the filthy phrases to each other for shits and giggles. What starts as a joke, soon turns into something they can't stop doing – and can’t tell anyone about.

    Or:

    Mike and Will start talking dirty to each other for fun. What they don't consider is that it would accidentally turn them on.

    Summary

    “Well, maybe you should drive next time, if you’re such an expert!” Mike whines, jabbing Will’s side with his index finger.
    Will yelps and smacks Mike’s hand away. “As if you’d let me drive, or just lift a finger in general.”
    “I let you do plenty of things!”
    “That’s so kind of you. Thank you for letting me.” Will shakes his head, but he fails to hide the smile blooming on his face.
    “Why, you are so very welcome, my liege.” Mike snickers, his nerves finally settling down now that they’re back to their usual squabbling. “I can be reasonable.”

     

    -or-

     
    In exactly one week, Will Byers is leaving Hawkins for college.
    Mike Wheeler is handling this development very normally.
    Unfortunately, "very normally" apparently involves becoming physically incapable of spending more than five minutes away from Will at a time, aggressively avoiding any discussions of the future, and slowly failing to keep his hands to himself.
    How long can he keep pretending everything's fine?
