Summary
“Do you want to go on a date?” The words were out before Will’s mind caught up with his mouth, his hand over Dustin’s as if on instinct, an act of betrayal from his body, like the Mind Flayer was possessing him all over again except he knew it was gone—this was all him.
Dustin’s head whipped up, eyes so wide, Will could see the white all the way around his pupils. “Wh-what…?”
Will tore his hand away like it had been burned. He didn’t miss the way Dustin set his own hand over the one Will had held.
***
Will is sick and tired of third wheeling, and when Dustin comes home from summer camp and Will realises he might have a chance with him, he figures what the hell? In the end, it turns out the hardest part of dating Dustin is keeping it hidden from their friends and families.

Summary
He begins singing along to the song playing with a goofy smile plastered on his face, and his hand pressed to his heart like he’s pouring his soul into the performance. Max and Dustin both break out into a fit of laughter. Dustin lightly shoves Lucas and tells him, “Okay, okay I’m sold! Now quit singing before I change my mind.”
After that, the air feels lighter, there’s a connection, like finally finding out where to connect the puzzle piece you once thought went nowhere. Except these pieces have fit together before, which makes it all the more satisfying when you put them back where they belong.

Or, A fic that takes place 5 months after the battle in season 4. Max is awake and Dustin is navigating his emotions while evaluating the people in his life that are still alive and who means the most to him. Lucas is understanding.

Summary
The lab tiles under her small hands shimmered like a mirage, warping at the edges as Dustin's consciousness bled into hers, his panic a wildfire scorching through neural pathways not built to hold them both. She couldn't feel anything but the absence where her powers had been—a phantom limb screaming for amputation.
Dustin's memories flickered like a failing projector. The church's shattered stained glass dissolved into the lab's flickering fluorescents, then back again, each transition razoring through El's synapses.
Then—impact.
The sonic weapon's frequency cut out so abruptly El's knees buckled from the whiplash of returning power. The sudden rush of it was worse than the deprivation: her telekinesis came roaring back like a severed artery finally unkinked, flooding her skull with pressure that made her scream. Or maybe that was Dustin. Their voices tangled in the shared space of his mind, indistinguishable as the psychic tether between them snapped with the violence of a bone breaking.
OR Dustin gets de-aged while stuck in the Upside down in Season 5.

Summary
Lots of people have things they’re good at. Special skills.
Mike could thread words together to create story couture, and Will would bring them to life despite the confines of a canvas.
Lucas and Max were as free as birds. Whether it was an Ollie or a slam dunk, it always entranced like a flawless performance.
And Dustin,
Dustin could play piano.
