Summary
Will Byers is minding his own business in the dorm he shares with his best friend, Mike Wheeler, when Mike shows up flustered and asking for help with kissing practice. Will tells himself it’s no big deal. They’re best friends. He can handle it even if he’s loved Mike for as long as he can remember. He’d do anything for Mike even if it means finally being close to him in a way he’s quietly dreamed about for years.
But being close like this is dangerous. One night of practice begins to stir feelings they can no longer ignore. Every touch and glance becomes heavier, every moment between them charged with something that has been waiting too long to be spoken.

Summary
Best friends since childhood, Will Byers has carried a quiet, aching love for Mike Wheeler for years. When he visits him in the city of Chicago, he finds Mike radiant, confident, and completely at ease in his own skin. The sight of him, the way he moves, laughs, and glows under the city lights, makes Will’s chest ache with a longing he can no longer ignore.
Amid sparkling lights and the closeness they have always shared, years of unspoken desire finally surface. Every glance, every touch, every whispered laugh feels electric, drawing them impossibly close. For the first time, Will and Mike step beyond the line between friendship and something more, discovering what they have both wanted and needed for far too long.

Summary
In the soft chaos of a New Year’s Eve party in Mike’s basement, Will and Mike are still getting used to how real everything is now—how their feelings aren’t one-sided anymore. Everything between them is shy and new, yet filled with electricity: fingers intertwining under blankets, hands squeezing when nerves hit, and sweet, stolen kisses that make both of them blush.
Surrounded by friends and laughter, every heartbeat still feels like it belongs only to them. As midnight approaches, the air feels thick with hope, suspense, and the quiet certainty that they’re falling deeply for each other… and maybe, just maybe, this is finally going to be Will’s year.

Summary
Mike Wheeler has spent years hiding his feelings for his best friend, Will Byers, and living with him now only makes it harder to keep them in check. Every laugh, every smile, every accidental touch sends his heart racing, and Mike can’t tell if he’s imagining the sparks or if Will feels them too. He’s caught between the thrill of wanting to confess his love and the fear that speaking the truth could ruin the friendship he cherishes more than anything. As their days together grow closer and the tension between them builds, Mike must decide whether the risk is worth it because what he wants most might also be the one thing that could push Will away.

Summary
Will hesitated for half a second.
Then, quieter, “Can you come over?”
There was no pause this time.
“Yeah. Of course.”
Will blinked, a little surprised by how immediate that was. “Wait, really?”
“Yeah,” Mike repeated, like it was the most obvious thing in the world. “I’ll be there in a bit.”
Will sat up slightly. “Mike, you live like—halfway across town.”
“It’s fine.”
“It’s not fine, it’s—far.”
“I said I’ll be there.”
OR: Will can't sleep and ends up calling Mike. Mike doesn't hesitate to come over.

Summary
Mike had always been… affectionate with Will.
An arm slung casually around his shoulders, a hand resting on his knee, sitting just that bit closer than necessary on the sofa. It was the sort of closeness that had always been there - natural, unthinking - woven into the rhythm of their friendship like it had existed before either of them knew how to name it.
They were best friends. They’d been best friends for years. That kind of history broke down boundaries. It made things easy, familiar. It made sense that they didn’t think twice about the small touches, the quiet moments that other people might mistake for something else.
But still - Mike touched Will more than he touched anyone else.
And it was driving Will absolutely mad.
💕💕💕💕
For years, Will told himself that Mike’s touch didn’t mean anything. That best friends just sit close, just hold on, just care. But one quiet evening in the basement proves that maybe, just maybe, he was wrong.

The Psychological Unraveling of Mike Wheeler by cosmocopium

Summary
“But I like Will so much…” Mike groans, burying his face in his hands. He’s going in circles. Saying the same things over and over as a strange and ineffective way of deflecting. “This guy’s making me crazy.”
“No, you’re crazy,” Max corrects bluntly.
“You already were,” Lucas adds, “and then you met a guy.”
Okay, harsh, but he doesn’t feel particularly inclined to say that they’re wrong.
When Mike Wheeler finds himself smitten with a boy from the drama club, an arts department showcase at school brings them unexpectedly close — sparks fly, catastrophe strikes. Mike goes a little insane. Not really. Maybe.

Summary
“Mike, stop. You’re not making any sense.”, Will whispers against the skin of Mike’s thumb.
“I’ve never made more sense than right now and we both know it.”, Mike whines, “If you want to kiss me and I want to kiss you, like, really fucking badly, then why won’t you just let me? Who cares if I’m drunk? I’ll remember it, trust me. And I’ll kiss you fifty more times tomorrow.”
“What if I want fifty-one kisses?”, Will hears himself respond, throat dry and, heck, did he leave on the heater?
“Then, you’ll get a hundred.”, Mike murmurs, slowly but firmly pressing his lips against Will’s jaw, “You’ll get as many as you want. And anywhere you want, for that matter.”

AU were mike comes home drunk, confessing he really, really wants, no, NEEDS to kiss will. the next morning, he doesn't even remember how he ended up in will's room and will is left to deal with the mess. HAPPY ENDING

Summary
[COMPLETED!!]
Note: Someone accused this fic of being ai generated. I despise ai and it was not used in the making of this fic.A man rounded the corner, mid-sip of coffee.
He looked to be in his late forties. Stubble lining his jaw. There were faint lines around his eyes—earned ones, the kind that came from years of squinting at sunlight or laughing too hard.
He took one look at them—
—and stopped dead.
The ceramic mug slipped slightly in his grip.
For a long, suspended second, nobody breathed.
The man’s eyes—warm brown, familiar brown—locked onto Mike’s face.
His hand began to shake.
Slowly, carefully, like the cup might explode if he moved too fast, he set the coffee down on a nearby table.
And Mike understood.
-or-
1989 Mike and Will stumble into 2025 where they're happily married, living with their daughter.

Summary
Mike digs his fork in and crumbs tumble down onto the platter with the motion. Will’s footsteps echo lightly to the entrance of the kitchen, and as he watches Mike he stands in the doorway, arms crossed tight against his chest. He leans against the wooden frame, cross-legged with an intense look.
Mike peeks up at him through his lashes, too worried of the look on Will’s face to commit to the stare. His heart thumps through the thick hazy sensation he feels throughout his body. Will doesn’t move.
“What the hell was that?” Will demands.
OR
Mike and Will get high and find their attraction impossible to act on…

Summary
He doesn’t have to justify it or ground it in reality, he just knows it to be true before he opens his eyes. Will.
“Why are you…” Mike trails off, his eyebrows draw together as he takes in the face hovering above his, “…me?” He genuinely is perplexed now. Not shocked. No, Mike thinks his ability to be shocked is probably zero at this point given the state of his world. But he’s definitely confused. The boy above him looks on in horror and disbelief. Although the face is certifiably, completely Mike’s face, the expressions and eyes are easily identifiable to Mike as belonging to Will Byers.
OR
Mike and Will get FreakyFriday-ed but with more angst and yearning. Post season 5 volume 1, with some artistic liberties with canon + a sprinkle of s5 v2 rewrite

Summary
Will knocked one more time but ultimately gave up. There was no point. It was just a waste. He turned around and headed to the stairs.
“Will?” He heard Mike’s voice behind him. Will turned around to see Mike rubbing his eyes and barely standing up straight. He was holding the wall to keep himself straight.
“Shit, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have knocked. Go back to bed, I’m sorry,” Will repeatedly apologized. “What, no, it’s okay,” Mike hummed in response. “I shouldn’t have woken you,” Will kept apologizing. “Will, please come here,” Mike pleaded. Will froze in place. He’d never heard that tone from him; it made his face heat up, and he was begging Mike not to notice.
Or:
Hawkins is snowed in for a week, and Will has nightmares that only sharing a room with Mike can fix.
One week in a room every night together won't change anything, will it?
(Summary will be changed as the story gets completed)
