    Summary

    "Mike."

    "Yeah?" Mike pulls back slightly and Will's eyes flicker down, watching as he sucks his bottom lip into his mouth.

    He doesn't know what to say; he's not sure he even knows how to breathe.

    "Strawberry," Mike says after a moment, his voice wavering.

    "What?"

    "The flavor… is it strawberry?"

    or:

    Mike and Will play the chapstick game, the line between friendship and something more blurring as they do whatever it takes to win.

    Summary

    Will and Mike left for college armed with a beat-up station wagon, a box of Will's art supplies, a mixtape that Mike spent three days curating and hearts full of love.
    Without the shadow of monsters and regrets, they jump ahead towards a life full of dinner dates, cozy days, domesticity and their own rules in a world they built themselves.

    A short, sun-drenched look at Byler thru the years, where every milestone is marked by a lyric, a map coordinate and the quiet certainty of holding each other's hands.
    Byler's journey together, paired with the lyrics of Lover by Taylor Swift

    Summary

    But Will was looking up at him with that soft, patient, exhausted expression, the one that always undid Mike completely, and Mike found himself leaning down before he'd properly decided to, pressing a quick, clumsy kiss to Will's forehead, right at his hairline, the way his own mom did to him sometimes when he was sick, except it didn't feel like that at all, it felt like something else entirely, something warmer and more complicated that Mike didn't have any real words for yet at twelve and didn't feel any particular need to find words for either. It was just a thing he did now. Just a thing that felt right.
    "I'll be back tomorrow," Mike said, quiet, against his hair. "Right after school. I promise."

    Will's still in the hospital after the events of the Upside Down. Mike never leaves his side.

    Summary

    First Date Rules:
    1. Be a gentleman.
    2. Woo him.
    3. Get a second date.

    Mike's got ideas of how prospective boyfriends are supposed to act, and he is determined not to ruin this chance with his usual attitude (or Will Byers obsession). When all's said and done, Will sets the record straight.
