Summary
Will blinks. Mike is looking at him with an amused look on his face, wide-eyed and a little pink across the bridge of his nose, and God, okay, Will wants to–
“Um,” he says instead. “Huddling? For warmth?”
“For warmth,” Lucas echoes, and then looks back at Dustin again. “Huddling. For warmth.”
“Like penguins,” Mike offers, and then rests his head on Will’s shoulder like this is supposed to be helping, or something.
Will Byers and the harrowing experience of being snowed in with your mom, your almost-stepdad, all of your friends, and your (kind of) (secret) boyfriend.

Summary
“I just–” Mike interrupts, voice cracking as if the words are knives in his throat. “Why does everything have to be like this? Why does this have to be so hard? Why can’t we just–” he cuts himself off, frustrated, with a scoff.
Will knows Mike well enough to hear everything he's not saying: Why can’t we just be like everyone else? Why do I have to hide how much I love you?
And God, Will feels it too—every bit of it.

Summary
“Looks like I bit you.” Will tilts his head to get a better look. All Mike can do is stare at him. His fluffy hair at the front, clumped pieces at the back where he’d slid his fingers in a mere few minutes before. His pretty green eyes that look hazel or even brown in this light, the dark circles he gets when he drinks framing them like intricate paintings. A satisfied, bloody smile.
Mike isn’t satisfied. He swallows thickly, choking down the words 'don’t you want more?'
Or: Will dresses as a vampire for a college halloween party, but Mike thinks his costume isn’t bloody enough. Will lets him fix it. Mike goes into a crisis.

Summary
“What?” Derek breathes, and the glint in his eye that Mike had mistaken for mischief looks a lot more like panic now. “Are you kidding me—I swear I'm like, the only one who gives a shit about Holly.”
Mike’s eyebrows rise high on his head. Maybe this kid is annoying, but sometimes annoying people just…have to be that way, for their own reasons. And there are many good reasons.
aka holly's missing, and her friends are determined to find her and bring her home. one person in her friend group in particular is more passionate than the others about finding her, and soon mike finds out why that is. and why he felt so different about will to his other friends when he was a kid.

Summary
And if Will let his guard down, even for a second, he knew exactly what would happen.
He’d lose Mike.
And Will would be damned if he let anything happen to Mike just because he was foolish enough to believe he could have this freely. Because of course he couldn’t. Of course they couldn’t.
