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
After feeling like an outcast for his entire childhood, Will is determined to reinvent himself. While the rest of the party goes to NYU, Will goes to CalArts for a needed fresh start, where he can embrace his queerness and learn to love himself.
Meanwhile at NYU, Mike and Lucas join a frat, where Mike has his own journey of self discovery and reflection.
When they reconnect in their junior year of college, they may finally be ready to confront the feelings they have for each other.

Summary
Mike was sick of them. Sick of their double dates, their couple's costumes, inside jokes and plans they just have to make a 'couples thing'. Sure, the six of them still hung out together all the time, but Mike and Will would always end up ostracized by default, unable to communicate with them now that they only spoke the language of love and nothing else. And that summer, at the cottage, it definitely wouldn't be any different.
or
It's 1993. The party goes over to Lucas's family cottage for the summer; Mike and Will get bothered by how often they're excluded from all the couples stuff their friends do, which leads them to start pretending to be dating in the most insufferable way they can come up with. They just weren't counting on it completely blurring the lines of their friendship.

“Are you purposely playing hard to get?”
“Are you purposely playing hard to want?” The Angel™ replies, giving Mike a soft smile.
Fuck. Mike can’t even be mad at that face.
OR: Mike Wheeler is used to getting what he wants. And what he really wants is Will Byers. And he's sure Will wants him back... he just doesn't know it yet. That's fine; he'll stop at nothing to prove they're meant to be.
