Summary
“Sure, I think it's cute.” Will lifts onto his toes to brush his fingers over the little leaves. “But you’ve never been into all that, like, romantic Christmas magic stuff.”
“I didn’t like all that overly-romantic stuff with El,” he corrects. “Because I didn’t really want any of that with her.” When Will turns back, Mike is watching him, focused in on place where his fingertips meet mistletoe. “I’d feel different,” he says, low and indicative and eyes never-leaving-Will. “If it was the right person.”
Which sure seems like a snowball.
Or, that avalanche finally comes around.

Summary
"His own words came circling back to him—a twisted boomerang-blade that aimed to slice and ruin as it recoiled. The acidity of what he’d said to Will hurt twice as hard, and the cruelty of it just ricocheted and spat back in his own face."
Or, what could have happened if Mike went to the Byers house alone after the rain fight, and found Will in Castle Byers alone, too (from Mike's POV!)

Summary
Mike shoved off the wall, "This is bullshit, Nance. Why exactly are you wanting him to relive all of this?" Mike demanded, coming to stand closer to Will.
Nancy rolled her eyes at Mike and huffed, "I don't want him to relive any of it. But if there's anything Will can remember that might help us save the world, Mike, then yes, I'm going to ask him."
Mike's jaw dropped and even Jonathan seemed to freeze for a moment, "What-" Mike began, ready to tear into Nancy but Will's hand came around his wrist.
"It's okay, Mike. Nancy has a point. If there's anything I can remember that might help us now, it would be worth it." Will interrupted gently. Mike whirled around to see Will already looking at him, and he gave Mike's wrist a gentle squeeze before releasing him, but Mike's own hand shot out, gripping Will's arm.
"You don't have to do this, Will." Mike said, his hand tingling from the contact on Will's arm, for reasons he would analyze later - as if he didn't already know why.
"it's alright, Mike." Will said softly.
OR flashbacks, panic attacks and first kisses.
