Written by smalltownbyler on ao3 "We have a plan." Robin says casually. Will straightens from the cabinet like it just shocked him. "A what?" "A plan," she repeats, too casually, like they're talking about redecorating or what to make for dinner, "A get-Will-laid-by-Mike-plan." or Mike Wheeler has a habit of walking around Will's and his shared dorm room in nothing but a towel. A small one. Too small. And it's driving Will absolutely crazy. So when Mike and Will go over to Robin and Vickie's place one night to watch a movie. They tell Will their plan. Have Will seduce Mike, and then have him get laid by Mike.

What starts as a movie night becomes the point where Mike and Will can no longer ignore the truths about themselves and one another.

Will gets a boyfriend and Mike can't figure out why it makes him angry

After the fall of the Mind Flayer, Hawkins slowly begins to heal. But for Mike Wheeler, the war never truly ended. Guilt, loss, and the weight of everything left unsaid follow him long after the final battle. And Will Byers - the one who always felt the darkness first - understands that evil does not simply disappear. Sometimes, it lingers in memory, in dreams, in the quiet spaces between people. This is not a story about saving the world. It is a story about what comes after. About love that waited in silence. About two people learning how to live beyond survival and finally choosing truth.
