    Summary

    Will and Mike play truth or dare in the Wheeler's basement. What's some cheap wine and some making out between best friends, right?
    ----
    “So if you don’t really, uh… think about what kind of girls you’re into,” Will starts, words slow and a little slurred together, “what do you, you know…”
    Mike leans back further into the couch, head tipping against the cushions. Will watches as his curls fall away from his neck, exposing the line of his throat.
    “What do I what?” Mike asks.
    His words are just as clumsy, and the thought brings a pleasant warmth to Will’s stomach.
    “What do you think about,” Will tries again, gesturing vaguely with his hands—hands that don’t feel entirely connected to the rest of him. “When you…” He trails off, face heating. He makes another gesture with his hands, one that he sees guys do in the hallways to gross each other out.
    Mike’s mouth curves upward, slow and amused. His eyes are heavy-lidded, glassy in the lamplight.
    “Jerk off?” he supplies, almost playfully.
    ----
    OR byler play truth or dare and fuck :)

    Summary

    “What do you want?” Mike asks, soft and syrupy-sweet
    “Everything,” Will whispers, their gazes meeting over his shoulder. “I want your everything, Sir.”

    or

    Will shouldn't be thinking about his boss.
    Not when he's in a meeting. Not when he's knee deep in paper work. Not when he's alone in his room with his hand wrapped around where he aches.
    And he shouldn’t be thinking about falling in love. Definitely not that.
    He shouldn't.

    Oh, but he does.

    He thinks about him—Mike Wheeler—every fucking time.

    Summary

    After years of distance, unsent letters, and business left unfinished, Mike and Will cross paths again as adults. College changed them, but some bonds never really disappear.

    Reconnecting means facing old hurt, old love, and the question they never stopped asking: what if it’s not too late?

    Summary

    Will and Mike accidentally overhear a couple talking dirty over the walkie, and start repeating some of the filthy phrases to each other for shits and giggles. What starts as a joke, soon turns into something they can't stop doing – and can’t tell anyone about.

    Or:

    Mike and Will start talking dirty to each other for fun. What they don't consider is that it would accidentally turn them on.

    Summary

    "Mike scowls down at the picture and takes it tightly between two hands. He grits his teeth and rips at the photo until it splits in two, leaving Will smiling back at him in one piece and this Carlton guy in the other. Mike grins down at the photo of Will and slips it into his jacket pocket as the city begins to peek over the horizon. He drops the half with Carlton (really, what the fuck kind of name is Carlton?) onto the dirty bus floor and crushes it with the toe of his Converse."

    or will sends mike a letter that includes a polaroid of him and his new bf, and mike immediately catches a greyhound bus and hauls ass to new york city to homewreck and get his man back. feat. jonathan and robin as emotional support.

    Summary

    It’s one hundred percent worth it to see Will light back up, gloriously, blindingly. Beautifully. To watch his nose scrunch just so, to watch perfect lips shape the words: “I don’t know, Mike… it’s not your turn to ask!”

    The night of their graduation, Mike and Will find themselves playing a bastardized version of twenty questions in Stacey Albright's guest room.

    Summary

    Any other day, this would’ve been a lovely experience. The smell of old paper. Wandering around with Mike, just getting to spend time with him, close to him.

    But they’d just fucked, and Will has a plug still buried in his ass. He’d only come once and he’s so horny right now he might die on the fourth floor of the library.

    Summary

    Will’s brain buffered. Sure, they'd made out in the summer. But none of that had felt the way this moment did. Back in Hawkins, it only happened during the nights, with the lights turned off so they’d barely seen each other. It had felt secretive and almost illegal, like they were committing a sin there was no redemption for.

    _

    In which turbulent summer nights leave Mike and Will uncertain about what they are, until Mike visits Will in New York for Thanksgiving break.

    Summary

    Max arches a brow. “Carlton, though? You two are dating and you don’t even kiss? Is it just a preference thing?”

    Will sighs, resigned. He drops his hands. “Okay. Honestly?” He hesitates, then shrugs. “He was a bad kisser. And I just… couldn’t get excited around him. At all.”

    The reaction is immediate and merciless. Dustin makes a dramatic gagging noise. El gasps like she’s been handed gossip gold. Lucas high-fives Max, shaking her hand in his.

    Mike doesn’t say anything. He just watches Will, watches the way he shrugs it off, the way he laughs a little too loud, the way his ears go red.

     

    Or, Will's new boyfriend is a bad kisser. Mike thinks it's a crime that no one has kissed Will properly. He's on a goal to change that, Carlton be damned.

    Summary

    There’s something wrong with Will.

    It started three weeks ago, almost four. Will had woken from some sort of nightmare and, instead of seeking comfort in Mike the way he usually would, he’d rolled out a sleeping bag from the closet and chosen to sleep on the floor.

    No one believes Mike, except for Joyce. But even she doesn’t understand the full extent to which something is wrong with Will.

     

    Mike understands, though. Mike has been paying attention.

    Summary

    Mike dims the lights and Will turns the TV on, bending over to insert the VHS tape that Mike pointed out — Back to the Future, not a terrible choice —  until he feels a firm, known pressure on his ass, he stands straight up and his back collides with Mike's chest. Mike's hands snake over his hips and wrap around Will's waist, he kisses his ear before whispering, “,what if we don't watch the movie? I mean, we have the house to ourselves for hours, could really take my time with you.”

     

    Will scoffs, “You’re an animal you know that? Can’t go more than five minutes without bending me over and begging to fuck me.” He eats his words though, when he starts softly pushing back into Mike's front.

     

    “Oh yeah, you wanna bet?” 

     

    “What? Bet that you’re nothing but a dog when it comes to me?” Will turns around in his hold, hands coming and brushing his arms lightly, “What are the conditions?” 

    Or

    Will and Mike make a bet.

    Summary

    Mike pushes into his hands, but Will keeps him still.

    "Ask again," he says. Because he's greedy, and he wants Mike to want him.

    He stares at Will's mouth. "Please."

    "Again."

    El is gone.

    Will tries to figure out how to move on in New York, and Mike follows him. Their apartment is haunted not by ghosts, but by the two of them.

    Or: Catastrophically traumatized boys cling to each other and accidentally figure out how to be close—too close—while moving through their grief.

    Summary

    I wrote this at like 3:00am based on a dream I had. So.
    .

     

    Mike was touchy, it was just in his nature.

    Maybe that's why, when Mike reached out, hands cupping his own, leaning in close, a murmur of “I miss you, Will. I miss us,” all Will did was squeeze back, the way he always had.

    It started off the same as always, something unintentional that Will could brush off, accident touches that slowly grew into something friendly, platonic, normal. The occasional nudge of an elbow to his side, a long look and a hand reaching out to grip his shoulder. Simple. Friendly.

    But now?

     

    Now Mike couldn't seem to be able to keep his hands off of him.

    It was driving Will crazy.

    Summary

    Does Carlton gel his hair? Mike wanted to ask. Do you run your fingers through it when you kiss him? Do you pull on it when you–

    What came out was: “No, it’s okay. I trust your opinion with stuff like that.”

    That seemed to be the right thing to say because Will blushed hot and ducked his head slightly, giving him the same frantic, flustered look he’d become used to before Will went to college and got a boyfriend and became so unbearably pretty it kind of choked the life out of Mike to be alone with him.

    Will won't shut up about his new boyfriend. Mike is totally Normal about it.

    Summary

    He wanted to say a hundred things. ‘You look good.’ ‘I’ve missed you.’ ‘I hate myself for making it weird.’ ‘You look so fucking good.’ ‘Did you ever--’

    His brain supplied the rest, cruel and automatic; ‘Did you ever love me like I thought you did? Did you ever want me like I didn’t know how to want you?’

    Instead, because Mike was Mike, he said, “Your tie--”

    Will blinked. “What about it?”

    Mike pointed, stupidly, at Will’s collar like it was an emergency. “It’s… not… there.”

    Will stared at him for a beat, then snorted. “Yeah. Because I’m not wearing one yet.”

    Mike felt heat crawl up his neck. “Right.”

    Will’s mouth twitched. “Are you nervous?”

    “No.” Mike lied.
