Summary
Will Byers doesn’t consider himself brave. He considers himself a HD student with a low tolerance for vodka and a talent for leaving early. But bravery, it turns out, isn’t always loud. Sometimes it's handed out like permission slips at crowded college parties: permission to drink too much vodka, to flirt badly, and take a hit from someone else’s cola flavoured vape.
Or; College AU, Will "Ivy League" Byers/Mike "Teenage Dirtbag" Wheeler

Summary
It’s not like Will owes anything to him.
But Mike has claimed his ownership regardless. He wants all of Will, and Will is usually willing to give it to him. Tonight, he wants Will to have all of him, too. Just him and nobody else.
“Tell me you’re mine,” he slurs into his ear, mouth wet and hot against the shell of it.
Mike and Will can't let go of each other, so they hold on tighter. Grip until it hurts. Who else could hold all of them like this, anyway?

Summary
"Hey, your tongue's red." he said before he could stop himself, still grinning.
"Really?" Will responded sarcastically, smiling down at Mike.
"Yes, really." Mike repeated. "Wait, stick your tongue out."
Will did as told, showing Mike his tongue, stained red from the artificial coloring of the slushie. Mike couldn't help but think about how that tongue would feel against his own, inside the confinement of his mouth.
"Yup, it's red." he said matter-of-factly, like he was stating the obvious.
"Your turn now. Tongue out." Will commanded.
Mike stook his tongue out into the open, feeling like he was losing his mind as he saw Will examine it.
"Oh yeah. It's so blue." Will said with a curt nod.
"Well, I guess we could try to make purple now, right?" Mike replied, smirking.
Or: Mike talks to Max and finds out everyone thought that him and Will have been dating the whole time. That makes him think more about what his feelings actually mean and if they even are that platonic at all.

“Mike..” Will called out, quieter than the last. That’s when Mike spotted him, he was sitting on the ground, leaning against his arm while the other grabbed the side of his stomach. Mike felt a wave of relief hit him on behalf of spotting him. “Will!” Mike yelled out, rushing over to him as fast as he could.
Mike fell to Will’s side. “Hey, what’s-” Then, Mike saw it. Will’s blood-stained shirt; there was a huge wound on the side of Will’s stomach. He was bleeding out. Mike's blood ran cold.“Will, oh my god,” Mike mumbled to himself, looking at the wound. The fear came crippling back. Will was hurt, really hurt. “It’s bad, isn’t it?” Will choked out, giving Mike a sweet, tired smile, the one he always gave Mike when he didn’t want him to worry.
OR : Mike has a nightmare about Will dying and has a panic attack; luckily, Will is there to help.

Mike blinked. "What?"
"Oh yeah! We always end up talking about this stuff without you." Dustin said, rolling onto his side. "Lucas talked about Max. I've been monologuing about Stacy for over a month, which in retrospect was a waste of everyone's time-"
"Tremendous waste." Mike agreed. "Historic, really."
"-and you've got something going on now." He shrugged. "It's your turn."
Mike looked at Lucas, who raised his eyebrows in a quiet yeah, what he said.

Summary
It's the party's first ever high school party and to say they are excited would be an understatement. Since Mike and Will were dating, they decided to get ready together at Mike's place and while in doing so, Will finds out his boyfriend had gotten a new pair of jeans, and they looked a bit too good on him. Will didn't want to be one of those boyfriends who threw a fit about what their significant other was wearing, but he couldn't help the jealousy that came crawling up at the idea of everyone seeing his boyfriend in those jeans at the party. He was screwed.
.
.
.“Mike.” Will’s strained voice carried over to his boyfriend who turned to look at him questionably. “Those look really good.” A bit too good. In fact, Will was starting to get worried.
“You sure?”
Will gulped, “Yep. Especially the back.”

Mike and Will's life in New York City + scenes from their past
“Will,” his voice was already thick with the knot in his throat, “I can’t keep doing this, if I don’t tell you now I’ll never get it out and I can’t keep lying it’s so ha-”
“Mike. Breathe, you're rambling” Will squeezed his hand just a bit tighter and Mike matched his breathing
“Will, I love you. I think I always have,” His eyes fell to the floor, tears burning his eyes as he fights himself to continue, “I-I don't want this to change anything but I just- it’s always been so different with me and you and I think it’s always been you? I jus-”
“Mike, Mike look at me.” Mike kept his head down.
“Michael.” At the sound of his full name, Mike looked up — only to see Will with the softest look of adoration on his face. He felt slightly cold hands cup both cheeks. Teary eyed, Will chuckled before clearing his throat to speak, leaning in closer, “Can I kiss you?”

Summary
But it wasn’t a monster that came out of the trees. It was a person. A boy.
Mike froze.
Then he was spotted, and the boy stopped in his tracks; with skillful movements, he quickly slung the rifle off his shoulder and pointed it at Mike’s chest. Mike raised his hands while trying to keep most of his weight on his left leg.
“Whoa. Hey,” Mike said, his eyes wide as he stared at the tip of the rifle. “Just hold on. I’m not—I’m not going to hurt you.”
Or: A crawl gone wrong left Mike stranded in the Upside Down. Hurt and alone, Mike stumbles upon someone everyone told him was dead.

Summary
The party had come to watch Lucas's basketball match and Max had decided to give her boyfriend a kiss on the cheek before his game, something she called, "A Good luck Charm". Will tried not to get jealous by thinking about how it would be like for Mike to do the same to him. Considering he didn't play any sports, the chance of it happening was highly unlikely.
Until it actually happened.
Now, Will scrambles to find ways for Mike to continue giving him kisses.
.
.
Will blinked confused. “What do you-”A soft kiss was pressed on his left cheek. A small smooch sound reached Will’s burning ear as Mike broke away from the spot he just kissed.
Huh?
Holy shit.

“We can do this however you want, babe, you decide everything,” Will said as he looked at the man he loved.
“We could do it on Thursday, I could tell my mom I want to go out for dinner for my birthday and say I want to invite you guys as a thank you for letting me stay when the house was being rebuilt or something. I could ask your mom to help plan something so Jonathan and Nancy can take Holly out, she has been begging to hang out with El.” Mike explained like he had already thought out everything.
“Well aren’t you just the man with a plan,” Will teased as he kissed Mike’s cheek, “I think that’s a great idea. Do you want to run it by my mom tonight?”
