Summary
Knock knock knock
“Jesus Christ! Hold on,” he mumbles, floating down the steps. He flicks on the porch light and yanks the door open. “What the hell are you–” He freezes.
For a moment, he really does believe he’s dreaming. You know, given that not a single fucking thing about this situation makes any goddamn sense. Because on the short trip from his bedroom to the front door, Mike made a list in his head of all of the people that could potentially be on the other side. It was a rather abbreviated list, to be fair: The cops. Nancy. His landlady, Freida. That one drunk guy he occasionally gives a cigarette to if he happens to be smoking on his porch when he walks by.
But it’s not any of those people. It’s Will. A year older, soaking wet, shivering with a waterlogged duffel bag slung over his left shoulder. Yeah. He’s dreaming. Because he had spoken to Will on the phone not even ten hours ago. He was about to go on his three year anniversary date with his long term boyfriend in New York City.
OR:
Will needs some space from his boyfriend, James, and for whatever reason, he decides to take that space at Mike's townhouse in Boston. Mike is going to be so normal about it.

Summary
Mike Wheeler is an overly nostalgic, highly anxious teenage boy with attachment issues. Junior year hits him hard as he watches his friends make post-graduation plans and he can't help but feel left behind, unsure of what he wants his future to look like. To deal with this perpetual existential dread, he starts self-medicating with weed that he buys off of Hawkins own Steve Harrington. It does wonders staving off his anxiety, but his best friend Max seems to think that it has completely shot his personality in the face. When he's caught by his mom, the course of his summer changes for the better, hopefully, when he and Max run into two very interesting figures from Max's past. One of which Mike thinks is so handsome and charming that he hates him. Or loves him, maybe. What's one more crisis?

Summary
Will and Mike are college roommates and they love hosting Max and Lucas for movie nights. Lucas and Max are sick of watching Mike pathetically yearn for Will when they know for a fact that if he'd just confess his feelings, he could have what he wants. Mike is, unfortunately, stubborn and jealous and is much more comfortable wistfully admiring Will and bullying his annoying boyfriend, Carlton.

What the fuck is happening? Why are you so upset over this? You should be happy for him. For him and his-
His stomach twists at the thought.
Fiancé. You need to move on. He has.
The sudden realization that he's 5 years too late has him heaving again. He let Will slip through his fingers like water, evaporating before Mike even knew he wanted to find purchase.

Summary
Mike is like a cat.
A feral cat.
The kind of cat that you have to pet with welding mitts, or a stick with a glove on it, lest it tries to bite you or lash out at the slightest ounce of affection.
