Summary
“Late on the first day? Way to make a first impression, Wheeler.”
Mike turns his head grumpily, only to see Will mirroring his stance against the wall, smirking at him. His heart thumps in his chest dramatically, like he’s already started running the miles.
“We were only like… one minute late,” Mike defends weakly.
“Oh? Who else were you with? So I know who to cut,” Will says plainly, and Mike can’t tell if he’s joking or not.
“Uhh… you can’t cut legacies though, right?” Mike winces.
Will levels him with a look, scooting close enough that Mike’s breath hitches, and his ears are almost certainly pink.
“I can do whatever I want.”If Will doesn’t inch away from him soon, Mike’s gonna have a pants problem. He flits his gaze to Will’s lips, then back up in a panic, praying he didn’t get caught. He doesn’t need to start confirming any ideas on his first day. He gulps. Will’s gaze lingers for another drawn out moment before he backs away, calling all the pledges’ attention without having to yell.

Summary
In which Mike just doesn’t think it’s right that Will doesn’t get to experiment with a guy, but luckily Mike’s a guy, and a good friend, so. Featuring closet hookups, hickeys, really good cuddles in the midst of all the sexual experimentation, sneaking around, a canon-typical amount of boys crying, the Painting Lie!!!, conversations about feelings that don’t actually address any of the important feelings (until they do, and then ohh boy), and the happy ending that they goddamn deserved.
Takes place during the eighteen month time gap before they all graduate, then continues past the ending of the finale.

Summary
In which Mike follows Will to New York University for completely normal and emotionally healthy reasons, and then they try drinking together for the first time and Mike realizes pretty quickly that there were other latent feelings involved in his decision. Featuring truly Gen X levels of casual alcohol use, cranky hours at the Met, laundry in a haunted basement, a Psychedelic Furs concert, the gang reuniting for a party at Jonathan’s apartment, one scary incident reflecting the grittier realities of late 80s NYC, love confessions obviously, and rather a lot of hickeys. (And they were roommates!)

Summary
After two months of sweating over the checkout counter, Will was more than ready to get away from Hawkins. He was, admittedly, a little excited to spend some one-on-one time with Mike, too, who had spent most of June and July in Michigan teaching math to brainiac summer camp kids. With them both going away to college in just a few weeks, these last few moments of summer were precious.
or, will goes on vacation with mike's family. they get....bored.
