Summary
If Mike could’ve hoped to know any bit of information sooner, it was that. “Was Will…” he swallowed, it had begun to pour outside, “in love with me?”
“Does he admit that once in a while, the very thought of you fills him with a, and I quote: ‘near equal amount of dread and want?’…Maybe,” Jonathan sounded too matter of fact, too plain. “Speaking about it in past tense does a disservice for how much he feels for you, Mike.”
————-
It’s the mid 90s, Micheal Wheeler has exploded in the literary landscape, Will, in the post-modernist painting scene. They catch each other’s attention.

Summary
“He was looking at it. Earlier.”
Mike’s eyes do that darkening thing again. “Yeah?”
Will nods. With Mike looking at him like that, he suddenly feels like his voice is going to give out. But after a moment, Mike’s expression lifts again, soft smile taking over his face. He nudges Will’s shoulder with his own. “Told ya it’d work.”
“I guess,” says Will. His own smile doesn’t quite reach his eyes.
Or, Mike helps Will make his co-worker jealous. Which, apparently, means covering Will in hickeys and making out with him.

Mike, What Did You Do? (the Curse of Strahd) by ByeDisaster
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)

Summary
What Mike did in the 18 months between S4 and S5. The answer includes: touching, sleeping in the same bed, playing D&D but only the two of them, and Mike casually calling Will beautiful. Best friend shit. Will Byers is toast.
Now expanded to include a very different (gay) Season 5.
---
“I look for the vampire.”Mike’s face is turned towards him. Will was looking at the ceiling, but he shifts, just enough, his nose points at Mike’s nose. His lips in a line from Mike’s lips. His mouth is slightly open on the pillow. “Do I find him?” Will prompts.
“Yeah,” Mike breathes. “He’s beautiful.”

Summary
“Do you really not love me anymore?” Mike’s brows arched, pleading, thumbs pressing softly on Will’s bottom lip, parting it just enough to feel the wet heat inside. “Tell me.”
“Mike, stop. I have a boyfriend,” Will whispered. But he didn’t pull away. He stayed—staring at Mike’s mouth, wanting, aching. His tongue darted out to wet his lips, unconsciously mirroring Mike’s touch.
“That’s not what I asked.” Mike leaned in until their lips ghosted—barely touching, electric. His hands braced on the wall on either side of Will’s head. “Do you still love me?”
OR
Where Mike Wheeler shows up to the Party reunion already screwed—because Will Byers walks in looking like every repressed fantasy Mike’s buried since college.
A year of grief, survivor’s guilt, and quiet realizations has Mike finally admitting the truth: he’s never loved anyone the way he loves Will.Bookmarked by Boing_Bo_ing

Summary
“Are you talking about…?” Will lets the question trail off, trusting Mike to know exactly what he means.
“Yeah,” Mike worries his bottom lip between his teeth. “Yeah. I’m talking about our conversation by the tower, Will.”
Hearing his name like that, deliberate, weighted, makes Will’s chest tighten. Mike only does that when something really matters. And this matters.
“I—” Will starts, then exhales in shaky relief when Mike cuts him off. Thank God. He has no idea what he was about to say. He’s barely holding himself together.
“Just let me finish, okay?” Mike says. Will could swear he shifts closer. “I mean… I can’t be more than your best friend. I just can’t, Will.”
The words hit like a punch, and before the ache in Will’s chest can fully set in, Mike rushes on.
“But I want to do things to you,” he says quietly, honestly, “that no best friends should ever want to do to each other.”
Or Mike is a repressed POS who wants Will without having to face what wanting him actually means.
