Summary
Will and Mike are insanely competitive. Incapable of losing or letting the other win, it comes up in quite literally every aspect of their lives – whether it be one-upping each other while playing games, or drinking with their friends, or even arguments, neither side is ever willing to give up until it gets too tiring to keep going.
—
Will thinks for a moment, biting his lip and picking at his fingernails, before looking at Mike with a mysterious glint in his eyes. There's a rosy tint to his cheeks, and Mike has to stop himself from leaning over and biting them.
“Do you want to play Mario Kart again tonight?”
Mike and Will play video games. Just for fun. Totally, totally not as an excuse to get naked.

Summary
Mike and Will are not completely new to intimacy. They show each other affection constantly. Be it holding hands, bumping knees, kissing, compliments, pet names, leaving hickeys.
But that's where it stops.
They've talked about sex, discussed their feelings on it, agreed that they want to do it together, whenever they're both ready for it. And for a while, that was it.
It never came up again, and they both felt content with it. Maybe it'll come naturally, work out, like things usually do with the two of them.
Only lately something has shifted. Neither of them is sure when and how it happened, but things have started to heat up.
OR:
Mike and Will exploring more intimate parts of their relationship in their little New York apartment.

Summary
Will answers faintly, “I love you, too. So much.” And it feels like a prayer, like a soft-shelled wish falling from his lips that was never meant to exist in the real world.
This is the future where Will finds everything that he ever wished for. It’s still not easy.

The boy turns around, and Mike thinks he must be seeing things. Ghosts, maybe, because that would be the only rational explanation.

Summary
SHOW ME.
Will looks up from the notepad, eyes wide and blown. “Show you?”
Mike nods, small but undeniably firm. Dead fucking serious.
“Mike, you—” Will takes a quick breath to try to recalibrate his false confidence. His voice drops, feathery and intentional. “You want me to show you what a guy’s mouth feels like?”
or
Mike takes a 7-day vow of silence to win a bet. Will does everything in his power to make him break it.

Summary
What initially begins as Mike and Will calling each other exaggeratedly cheesy pet names to mess with Max and Lucas starts spiralling into something a lot more intimate and dangerous. Will isn't really sure where they managed to lose the plot, or how far they can go before there's no turning back.
Or: Max and Lucas go through a late honeymoon phase. It's excessive. It's gross. Mike and Will (well, mostly Mike) decide to engage in exaggerated bouts of PDA to demonstrate how disgusting the couple are being. It starts to get out of control pretty quickly.

Summary
“So,” Dustin announced as he brought back drinks for the whole table and very pointedly tipped his head in the direction of Mike and Will, who were mid-heated discussion where they’d left them. “Is anybody going to tell me what happened there?”
Max rolled her eyes and said, “Will had a real ‘don’t meet your heroes’ moment,” at the same time as Lucas said, “Mike got his feelings hurt.”
Miscommunication kings Will and Mike have a falling out in the aftermath of their first kiss. Three years later, Jane & Dustin are getting married in the Florida Keys, and they want the whole party there. Sometimes it's easier to pretend to kiss and make up than to face your problems.

Summary
For a fleeting moment he prays it’s him. That Mike could somehow be pining for him again after all these years. That Mike really has improved after five years away and maybe all they needed was time apart and everything could go back to the way it was. Go back to normal.
But things are different now. Will has a fulfilling life in New York, he had a boyfriend that he’s since broken up with. He had successfully moved on romantically. He made new friends, went to bars and kissed boys. He’s different. Mike couldn’t possibly fit now.
OR

Summary
The air in Hawkins was clear, clearer than it had been in a long time. Yet for Will, it had never been harder to breathe. Every breath felt like sucking in glass, cutting up his lungs and leaving the taste of blood in his throat. It's like he's surrounded by thick honey, each step an effort, each inhale a challenge.
It didn't take Will long to realise something was wrong. Not with Hawkins, not with the Party. No, this was all Will.
or
After the defeat of Vecna, Will gets sick. Really sick.

Summary
Something happened between Mike and Will during winter break of ‘89, and they haven’t spoken in four years. When Mike moves to New York for grad school in 1993, he is finally starting to figure himself out, and he wants to fix things with Will. He has no idea where to begin, so he writes a play about it.
Will has been building a life for himself in NYC as a painter. He has a boyfriend, volunteers with an AIDS housing program, and pays his rent by acting in other people’s plays – including, as it turns out, Mike’s.
A story about the damage of being loved before you’re ready, and about trying to make your way back (with a little help along the way from your meddling older siblings).

Summary
The summer before college is supposed to be easy.
Mike teaches Will how to drive. They get jobs at Family Video. Evenings still belong to the park, the swings, the same routines they’ve had for years. For a while, it almost feels like nothing has changed.
Then their boss gives them ten boxes of unlabeled tapes and tells them to watch them. All of them. Tuesdays, paid, just the two of them in a dark room writing down runtimes and summaries like it doesn’t matter.
Most of the tapes are nothing.
Some of them aren’t.
And suddenly, being alone together starts to feel different. Something neither of them quite knows how to name, or admit, or look at too closely.
Told in alternating POV, this is a story about growing up, denial, and what happens when something you’ve spent years ignoring refuses to stay buried.

Summary
Will is trying to move on.
A night out at a midnight shadow cast performance of The Rocky Horror Picture Show seems like a good start: outrageous costumes, bizarre traditions, and a cute guy who might just be worth giving a chance. For the first time in a long while, Will is ready to step into the world—and maybe even into something new.
What he doesn’t expect is seeing the one person he can’t stop thinking about standing under the stage lights—in fishnets, a corset, and looking entirely too good.
Suddenly, moving on is the last thing on Will's mind.
