Summary
It's 1992, and Mike and Will are juniors in college and living together in a tiny NYC apartment. Life is great. It's everything Mike could ever want: his best friend, an incredible city, and the world at his fingertips. The only problem? He's in love with said best friend and has no idea how he could ever tell him.
Luckily for him, he's presented with an opportunity to get much closer to him every Friday night, as long as he promises not to get all weird after. How hard could that be?
Or: Mike and Will become friends with benefits and the universe laughs because they're both ridiculously in love with each other.

Summary
After a heated moment with Will sparks a gay awakening in Mike, he does the usual Wheeler thing and runs. Will leaves for college without them speaking, and slowly they drift apart.
Two years later Will returns to Hawkins for the summer to run an Art Workshop. Finding out Mike is openly gay but hadn't told him, and is slowly morphing into someone who looks a lot like Ted Wheeler.
Somehow Mike convinces Will to give him a gay makeover and help him come to terms with the intricacies of his lifestyle.
All while they both pretend to not be in love with each other. Sounds uncomplicated, right?
or
Will gives Mike a 'She's all that' style experience to help him learn how to be gay.
This will most certainly contain a lot of Mike Wheeler exploring....Bookmarked by Colette_jm

Summary
After Eleven’s death, Mike Wheeler had no language for what he felt toward Will Byers. He followed him to New York and expressed it the only way he knew how: by holding on too tight.
Same roof. Same college. Same bed. Same ritual every night. Will kept asking what they were; Mike kept not answering.
It took a paint-stained studio and a fight that went too far for the world to finally go quiet. The doctors call it psychological deafness. Will calls it peace.
Two thousand miles apart, they are both learning a new alphabet. In Seattle, Will is learning to stop punishing himself for being alive. In New York, Mike is learning, for the first time in his life, how to use his hands gently.
