    Summary

    “I love her like I love Lucas, or Dustin, or Max. Like a friend.”

    Will nodded slowly. “Like me.”

    “No,” Mike said before he could stop himself, “not like you.”

    --

    Holly gets taken by Vecna and Mike knows he has bigger problems than his unrequited feelings (or so he thinks) for Will Byers. That doesn't stop him from spilling his guts anyway and avoiding the ensuing conversation by diving headfirst into the mindscape to save his baby sister, and maybe find Max along the way. But Will isn't going to let him get away with a confession that easily. AKA Mike is clocked by more than one person in the midst of the apocalypse and figures he might as well go for broke.

    Summary

    “I think it could be fun. It would be pretty cool to, y’know, be around other people who are… Like me.” He’s avoiding Mike’s eyes as he finishes his sentence.

    Mike nods. If only he knew he’s around people like him a lot more often than he realizes. “We can definitely do that.”

    or

    Mike and Will attend their first Pride event together.

    Summary

    Mike can not do it.

    "Mike please, we don't have much time."

    But he also can't let Will die in front of him.

    "Will, you know what I am. I won't be able to stop. I can't—"

    Or: Will is shot by the military in the upside down. And it's almost impossible for Mike—who has recently turned into a vampire—to resist as Will bleeds freely in front of him.

    Summary

    One thing Will knew for sure was that he wasn't going to turn Mike. Absolutely not. Never.
    Will remembered waking up dead and he would never willingly give that to someone he loved.

    Especially not Mike.

     

    Or: That was what Will had thought two weeks ago.

    Now, standing in a hospital hallway, he couldn't help thinking about how life didn't care much about his plans.
