    Summary

    If Mike could ever make it past his mother and out of his family's driveway, then all that stretched before him was the open road, an admittedly slapdash itinerary, and uninterrupted time with Will Byers.
    Mike wanted nothing more than uninterrupted time with Will Byers.

    The summer before college, Mike and Will take a road trip.

    Summary

    Will stirred sleepily to the sound of voices and a heavy weight beside him.

    “Whazup?” he mumbled, lifting his head off the pillow and blinking in the darkness.

    “Shhh, it’s fine,” replied Mike’s soft voice, breaking through the stillness that had followed Will’s muffled question, “I’ve got this one. You can go back to sleep.”

    Mike and Will take turns staying up with Holly, who has begun to have nightmares about the monsters in Hawkins. Things take a curiously domestic turn.

    Tap.....

    Tap tap.....

    Tap tap tap tap—

    Will groans into his pillow.

    For one blissful second he thinks maybe it’s part of a dream.

    Then the tapping comes again, louder this time, followed by a muffled whisper outside his window.

    “Will!”

    Will’s eyes snap open.

    Mike.

    Summary

    Mike puts the car into park, but doesn’t tear his gaze away from the windshield. “Say it.”

    Will splutters. “Say what?”

    “Like we’re what, Will? Say it. Why do I make your boyfriend so nervous?”

    “You’re being a jerk.” He looks down and picks at a loose thread on his sweater.

    Mike is being a jerk, but he’s just tired. And Will is here in Mike’s car in the middle of nowhere, protected by the growing darkness of the evening, and goddamnit, Mike wants to hear him say it. He wants to hear Will say Mike isn’t better.

     

    Or: Mike and Will have been Mike and Will for sixteen years. Mike is not going to Will let someone else ruin that.

    Or:

    Mike and Will start talking dirty to each other for fun. What they don't consider is that it would accidentally turn them on.
