Summary
“Okay.”
Mike snaps his head to Will, looking for a sign that he didn’t hear him right. Will just keeps looking at the ceiling, cheeks now bright red.
“O-okay…?” He asks.
Will nods, his chest heaving faster than before. “Okay.”
He pulls his eyebrows together. “Just- just to make sure, you’re saying okay to-”
“You wanna jerk off with me here.”
Mike’s eyes widen, and he quickly looks back up to the ceiling.
“Okay,” Will repeats.
OR
Will is staying at the Wheelers' for the summer of 1991, and Mike is starting to realize there are a lot of things he likes about having Will in his bed. Will's excuses of Mike just being "pent up" start to run out when Mike offers a solution to fix that: getting off together. (Like all great best friends do, of course.)

Summary
For their senior year spring break, the Party sets sail on a 7-day cruise to celebrate the next chapter of their lives. Not much has changed since their last reunion, as long as you don’t count Mike and Will breaking up two years ago, which fractured the friend group permanently and made it so neither of them could stand to be within ten feet of each other.
It’ll be a trip they never forget - that much Will is sure of.

Summary
“I’ve been thinking about what you said.” Mike swallowed.
“I said a lot. Remind me what do you mean.”
He wanted to scream, the way he teased him when he clearly knew what Mike referred to. Fuck it. Worst thing was he said no. I just had to ask. “When you went off my lap and we were both fucking hard.” Mike noticed Will flinched at the tone in his voice. “When you leaned over to me.” Now Mike leaned toward Will’s ear. “And when you said.” He started to whisper, “You know I can help you with that.”
Goosebumps formed on Will’s neck.
“I’ve been thinking about that all evening.” He took Will’s earlobe between his lips. “I know you did too."Coming home from college for the winter break, the party meets to catch up, drink and have a fun time. In a game of truth or dare, Will has to give Mike a hickey, but in their drunken state they can't keep their hands from another and are turned on more than they should. After heated nights together, Will proposes to be friends with benefits, which definitely never brought anyone in trouble before...

Summary
“What do you feel, then?”, he whispered, repeating the same question he made before.
Will audibly gasped, his head tilting back to expose his neck even more for Mike.
“Mike,” he groaned, open mouthed and assisted by his constant panting.
In response to that, Mike gripped hard on his shoulder with his fingertips, his palm still lying flat on his clavicle and his thumb a little higher, pressing down on his neck.
“I just want to understand you better”, Mike breathed into his ear, then he was driven back down.
They couldn’t get enough.
or, when Will comes back from Lenora, he’s still very upset with Mike , who, later on, finds out Will is a lot more sensitive than normal on his neck.

Summary
It seemed like a good idea at the time. Renting a beach house with your friends for the summer - after last year's warm breeze flew you apart on different journeys.
But what do you do when your best friend is seemingly way ahead of you - in just about everything?
Maybe it was a bad idea when Will suggested that he and Mike should race against each other to see who could lose their virginity first.
That summer wasn’t going to be anything he’d ever imagined. Much worse than losing a stupid fucking race and much better than winning it.
“We could make a race out of it?” Maybe it was the way Will’s eyes beamed and the way the words of the suggestion left him, that intrigued something in Mike.
Mike hesitated before answering, not wanting to sound too eager, “How?”
“Whoever gets laid first, wins.”

Summary
There are three things Will and Mike learn on a random afternoon after high school graduation:
- Teen magazine quizzes are way more intense than expected.
- They are wildly unprepared for college.
- Taking advice from anonymous “fever confessions” is a terrible idea.Unfortunately, they only realize the third one after they’ve already started acting on the first two.
Or:
Will and Mike accidentally read a very inappropriate teen magazine and decide the best way to prepare for college is to practice being less inexperienced… on each other.

Summary
“Okay. So, we’ll need someone willing to model for the photo shoot.”
Will freezes for half a second. His mind, traitor that it always was, already sprints ahead of him. Someone tall enough to wear armour, someone who already has a set of armour in his damn closet. Someone patient and willing enough to stand around, someone who looks good in fake blood. Someone who looks brave after being wounded and perfectly prepossessing even after the fog of war. Even after being brutalised, corrupted, eyes made wild with the mess of taking a life.
His new partner tilts her head. “You wouldn’t happen to know anyone who’d be up for that, would you?”
Will blinks at her, opens his mouth, closes it again. Then: “...Yeah,” he says, because lying has never been one of his strong suits.
He absolutely does.
aka will has an art project involving fake blood, and mike can't stop thinking about it.

Summary
"Woah," Mike breathed. His eyes widened as they landed on Will's flushed face. "Your cheeks are really red, dude." He reached forward, setting the box on the counter next to a bowl and a carton of eggs.
Will tried to pretend like he wasn't dying on the inside. "Hot," he managed, voice higher than its usual pitch. His eyes betrayed him as he looked up and down Mike's half-naked form. His jaw tightened as he forcefully snapped his eyes back up and away from Mike’s waist. "Hot in here, I mean. Not you.” Jesus Christ, Will, focus, he told himself. This was the moment he decided he was officially suffering. This was a hostage situation and Mike was torturing him with his stunning physique.
“What, you don't think I look hot?” Mike teased, gesturing to himself, as if he couldn't make it any worse.
Is he doing this on purpose? Does he think this is funny? Does he know the way my guts start doing acrobatics inside of me when he’s around? Or, is he completely oblivious?
Will couldn't decide which was worse.

Summary
“Do you just not want everyone to know your fantasy is about me?”
Will expected Mike to startle, or jolt away again, or shove him away with his typical shock-annoyance. But he didn’t. He stilled, his eyes locking on the pool where a few more fully clothed people had been pushed into the chaotic waters – but it was an unfocused gaze, and Will knew he wasn’t really paying attention to the scene in front of him.
Mike may not be, but Will is completely sober. Painfully attached to reality. Acutely aware of every point their bodies are connecting – chest to upper arm, chin to shoulder, arm to back, knees grazing. He knows the dangers, knows it’s Mike, knows he might really be fucking up – either by making Mike uncomfortable, or inviting old feelings to resurface. So he really, really doesn’t know why he adds, “Tell me, baby.”
Or
Mike Wheeler gets told he's going to fall in love by a psychic - which is, of course, ridiculous. Until Will starts calling him pet names as a joke, and Mike realizes he would've much rather been told he was going to die.

The summer after high school, Mike Wheeler finds himself scooping ice cream in an itchy sailor's outfit with his sometimes-friend-sometimes-enemy, Max Mayfield at Scoops Ahoy. With Will Byers working at the pizza shop across the food court, Mike finds himself daydreaming of running away together, far away from Hawkins. Mike is pretty sure of his feelings for his best friend, but he's never had the chance to put them to the test- that is, until a drunken game of spin the bottle at Stacey's party.
OR
Mike and Will must keep their relationship a secret from their friends. Making out in the ice cream freezer doesn't count as risky behaviour, does it?

Summary
Spring settles over Hawkins. Will is back - alive, but distant. The silence between him and Mike is louder than anything the Upside Down ever threw at him. Living in the Wheeler basement, surrounded by ghosts and half-erased sketches, Will survives on sarcasm, avoidance and the steady refuge of Robin Buckley, all while trying not to think about Mike (and failing).
Meanwhile, Mike is convinced he’s fine too - until a school camping trip forces them too close for comfort. Shared space turns into shared warmth, lingering touches and feelings Mike refuses to name. What follows is a slow, aching orbit of jealousy, miscommunication, accidental intimacy and truths buried under scribbled-out words and unspoken looks. As the distance collapses into something impossible to ignore, both boys are forced to confront what’s been there all along.
OR:
A camping trip forces Will and Mike back into close quarters, which stirs up feelings neither of them want to confront and leads to a lot of tension and unspoken feelings.-
