    Summary

    Will had never really talked about his time in the Upside Down before. Dustin had tried asking, once, but fortunately, Mike had shut it down before Will had even gotten the chance to refuse. It was a relief, at the time, to deny those awful memories the opportunity to come to light. There was a finality to it-like admitting what had happened to him would make it real.

    "I also hid," Will said. "For a long time."

    "In a memory?" Lucas asks cautiously.

    Will starts to shake his head no, then tilts his head. "Sort of. Not really. In Castle Byers."

    Or:

    The Party wakes up in a real-life version of Castle Byers. Inside of Will’s mind.

    Summary

    “That can’t be comfortable,” he said as Mike finally dropped onto his towel beside him. At his questioning glance, Will nodded vaguely to his chest— which, at that point, was nearly visible through the wet, transparent fabric. He did not think about it.

    Mike followed his gesture, looking down at his shirt. “It’s… hell, actually.”

    “Why don’t you just take it off?” Will asked. That was, evidently, the wrong thing to say. Mike’s lips pursed— an expression that he only pulled when someone ticked him off particularly badly. He always tended to tone it down whenever Will was at fault for it, like he didn’t want him to notice. Will always noticed.

    Mike refuses to take off his shirt at the lake. Will would like to know why.

    Summary

    “You’re gonna get hurt,” he says quietly, processing. He meets Mike’s eyes, briefly, then quickly refocuses his gaze on the forest surrounding him. He can’t look at Mike for too long, not now, not like this. Not when every minute he spends with him could be the last. “We can’t protect you here.”
    “Bullshit,” Mike says, “I’ll be fine.” His voice is softer when he adds, presumably to El, though Will is still refusing to look at either of them, “I want to protect you.”

    Summary

    He doesn’t mean it like that – in a romantic way. It’s just what he feels – that Will is his superhero, brave and smart and always there for Mike – and he was thinking about superheroes anyway, what with that Spider-guy from YouTube, and Mike is groaning and letting his head thump against his desk because he is really, truly head over heels in love with Will. 

    He’s learned to control it a bit better, tamp it down into something manageable, because Will’s his best friend and also the best person he knows, and he deserves better than Mike stumbling over himself every time Will flashes him a smile with those bunny teeth or puts his cold feet under Mike’s thighs on the couch.

    Plus, Will has a boyfriend. That’s definitely – a deterrent, to put it kindly. 

    will has been sneaking around more and more, and mike's convinced that he has a secret boyfriend. the appearance of a local web-slinger is probably unrelated.

    Summary

    Mike randomly includes a mysterious, recurring NPC in one of their summer 1989 campaigns - a male tower guard who appears to be interested in Will. Will is a little apprehensive and confused at first, but Lucas, Dustin, and Max are very much intrigued.

    The guard seems to be hiding something crucial for moving the campaign forward, but it turns out Will is the only one who can get him to talk... by charming him.
     

    (Inspired by that one post “Was playing DnD and started flirting with the tavern keeper to get some info and at a certain point I realized I was just dirty talking with my buddy Ben.”)
