Summary
"Tell me a secret?"
Mike asks, like he's come to do every day, late at night, when the darkness can swallow the guilt and the regret rushing out of their hearts, when their sides press together, the floor long forgotten, ever since the first Will, please, come up here.
Will is a terrible person.
I'm in love with you. I'm having visions. I'm in love with you. I'm not really having nightmares, Vecna is tempting me with a version of you that loves me back. I'm in love with you.
"I think my death is the easiest solution to everything. The Upside Down will die with me."
Will can hear Mike swallow next to him.
"Will, I would let the world burn down to ashes if it meant keeping you in it."
or
They're back in Hawkins, everything is the way it's always been, except - yeah, it's still the middle of an apocalypse, Will is having nosebleeds and Mike would sacrifice the world for his best friend but is still losing him.

Summary
Will stirred sleepily to the sound of voices and a heavy weight beside him.
“Whazup?” he mumbled, lifting his head off the pillow and blinking in the darkness.
“Shhh, it’s fine,” replied Mike’s soft voice, breaking through the stillness that had followed Will’s muffled question, “I’ve got this one. You can go back to sleep.”
Mike and Will take turns staying up with Holly, who has begun to have nightmares about the monsters in Hawkins. Things take a curiously domestic turn.

Summary
"Can I even stop?" The tears smarting in Mike's eyes came halfway from frustration, half pure despair. "I mean, what if being homophobic is like being gay? What if I can't control it?"
Mike could feel Max's disbelief through the cellphone. "That's really not—" and she paused, sighing loudly. Mike could genuinely hear her facepalm. "Jesus Christ, Mike. Do you want to be an ally or not?"
After freaking out on Will for kissing a guy, Mike turns to Max for help. Max helps him out, in her own meddling way.

Summary
“I won’t tell him,” she says softly. “Any of them. About any of it.”
Will looks up with surprise. “Why?” he asks.
Nancy just gives a tight smile, but in her eyes, something deeper brews. “You keep my secret, and I’ll keep yours,” she responds.
Will doesn’t really understand much about Nancy Wheeler at all. But Will’s happy to be her secret keeper, so he nods.
OR,
At the end of the world, makeshift living arrangements push the unexpected together, and a new Byers-Wheeler alliance forms.

Summary
Will went red. “Max! I told you that in confidence.”
Tyler ruffled Will’s hair. “It’s okay, baby, I don’t think you were keeping your exhaustion a secret throughout the hike either.”
Mike snapped, “Well, call me crazy, but I don’t think Will being too tired is a good thing. He doesn’t even like hikes.”
Mike wants Will to be happy. He just wishes it were with him.

Summary
Mike looks away before stating “I missed this.”
Will, startled by Mike's sudden remark, replies with a quick, “What?” Did Mike just say what he thought he said? Surely not. Will bites his lower lip before responding with, “Like, The Party all together again?”
“No, well, yes, but not just that.” Mike clarifies, conflict spreading across his face and taking pauses between his words, like he’s carefully choosing them.
Will shoots him a confused look before replying, “Then what?”. Mike takes a half-breath before responding,
Or, Mike can't take his eyes off Will and Will can't bare to look at Mike.

Summary
“Take me to bed,” Mike breathed against his ear, and suddenly nothing else mattered. “You can fuck me senseless to make up for all the shit I did.”
“You didn’t do anything wrong,” said Will insistently, nosing at the soft skin of Mike’s neck, “but I’ll take you up on that suggestion.”
After being broken up for six months, Mike and Will get back together.

Summary
“Okay, I don’t ‘like to be manhandled’–”
Will sat suddenly, bracketing Mike’s legs between his own and using two hands on his shoulders to flip them until Mike was lying horizontally on the sofa with Will on top of him. Mike gasped, the breath knocked out of him, and was once again rendered speechless.
“You were saying?”
“Okay fine!” Mike acquiesced, “But it’s not my fault you got so strong all of a sudden!”
Will rolled his eyes fondly.
“I didn’t ‘get strong’, Mike. I’ve been like this since Cali. You just chose not to notice,”
“Yeah, well, it’s sorta hard to hide your feelings when you’re daydreaming about your best friend’s biceps every other minute,”
Will flushed then, eyes widening. His heart did a funny little jump, and he felt tingly all over.
“My biceps?”
“...Among other things,”______________
Or, Mike has been acting weird since Will realised he had powers. Will thinks it's because he's scared. In reality, Mike is just whipped.

Summary
Mike Wheeler was dying.
A cruel, painful, humiliating death.
His parents were going to find his body sprawled out on the Wheeler living room carpet. And his tombstone? Oh, his tombstone was going to be tragic.
Here lies Mike Wheeler.
Cause of death: Will Byers Pretty Face.💕💕💕💕
Mike Wheeler has faced demogorgons, mind flayers, and Vecna himself — but nothing is as life-threatening as Will Byers pretty face.
Now Mike is convinced he’s dying (emotionally), Will is oblivious (or… is he?), and Mike doesn't know how much more of this he can take.

Summary
It’s the kind of truck that belongs in a movie, shining in the early morning sun. There’s also someone leaning against it. Shirtless. That’s what gets the immediate attention of the girls.
Max gasps and nudges El, “Uh… wow.”
Lucas frowns, “Hey!”
“I didn’t say anything!” Max quips back, but she’s still gripping El’s arm as they both give the guy an eyeful.
“I’ll say something,” El buts in, grinning, “That guy is very hot.”
Will, a few steps behind them, mutters, “Here, here.”
Mike groans, “Not you too, Will.”
Will just smiles sheepishly but his voice is easy, “What? I can appreciate a good-looking guy."
OR, in the gap between High School ending and College starting Joyce books the party into a 2 week long farm stay. Mike expects a relaxing break but it quickly turns chaotic when the charming farm-hand takes a liking to Will, and old feelings, new tensions, and unexpected drama threaten to ruin the quiet countryside for everyone...

Summary
Ну, было неудивительно, что девчонки дарили Уиллу столько валентинок. Все просто — он был добрым, милым, талантливым. Конечно, девочки его замечали. Конечно, они хотели подарить ему валентинку.
Майк и сам хотел этого.

Save Me (I'm The Writing On The Wall) by RoseByAnyOtherName17

Summary
“I’m just…thinking.”
“Well, can you think out loud?” Will gripes, sounding tense and unhappy even as he settles back against Mike’s chest. “You’re making me nervous.”
Mike laughs a little. “I’m not sure I should; I don’t want to freak you out.”
“Mike,” and Will sounds supremely unimpressed, “I just took control of three Demos, two of which were miles away, and proceeded to snap their limbs and kill them with my mind. Not only that, I just told you that I did it by drawing strength, in large part, from being your friend. You’re worried about freaking me out? Really?”
“Yeah, and I’m the guy who watched you do it and thought that it was the hottest thing I’d ever seen in my life, so what does that say about me?”
There’s a long, shocked silence.
“See, this is why I don’t think out loud,” Mike jokes weakly.
--
Mike falls a little bit more in love with Will because, at this point, who wouldn't? He just saved Mike's life, after all. Unfortunately, the others don't quite see it that way, and it's getting to Will a little bit. Mike intends to remedy that.
Immediately following the ending of season 5 episode 4: Sorcerer

Summary
Will shivered and groaned, curling into the couch like it might magically preserve his body heat, before sheepishly asking, “Does anyone have an extra sweater? I forgot mine.”
“Yeah—Will, no worries—” Lucas started, reaching for his bag, about to pull out the extra hoodie he’d packed for tomorrow. But before he could even unzip the damn thing, Mike literally yanked his own hoodie off and tossed it at Will like it was nothing. Will let out a tiny “oomph” as it landed on him, clearly not expecting it.
“I got it, Lucas,” Mike said, smug as hell. Yeah, no shit, Michael. Lucas just stared. Seriously? If he’d asked Mike for a jacket, it would have involved like…seven passive-aggressive comments. Not whatever the hell this is.
-
Lucas knows something is going on between Mike and Will, they're not exactly subtle, and he's going to figure this out.

VOLUME 1 SPOILERS
Mike groans, “Yes. Yeah— okay. He’s important but not just to the fucking mission—“ Mike cuts himself off.
Robin smiles. Something in that smile makes him feel uneasy. “Maybe he doesn’t have a Tammy.” She sighs. Mike frowns, “What?” She laughs and shakes her head, “Don’t worry about it. Does Will know this?” “He should,” Mike scoffs. She sighs, “Boys are impossible.”
or;; I’m writing this to keep me going until Christmas
