Summary
“Mike had fallen into quite a routine lately. He’d fall asleep at an ungodly hour, only to shoot awake when his parents’ latest screaming match got too loud. Who needed an alarm when this dysfunctional family worked like clockwork.”
Short description? I’m so, so ill rn. And I’m going to project that onto Michael fucking Wheeler before it consumes me.
Longer description? Mike wheeler hasn’t been taking proper care of himself and gets extremely sick. And in true Mike fashion, there’s only one person he’ll listen to. Enjoy Mike’s trauma getting actually addressed and him getting a very well deserved hug!

Summary
A graduation party Mike never planned on attending becomes the night that suddenly breaks him. When Will confesses feelings he won’t remember in the morning, Mike is left holding a fragile truth he never asked for and can’t give back. As Will moves forward, unaware, Mike stays trapped in the shadow of the confession, wrestling with his feelings for Will and the part of himself he’s always been afraid to uncover. This leaves them to navigate the space between what’s been said, what’s been forgotten, and the weight of years filled with painfully unspoken feelings.
Or the one where Will and the rest of the group attend Stacy’s graduation party without Mike, leaving him behind with his thoughts. And in the space that opens up, jealousy blooms, drunk confessions spill loose, new feelings are discovered and lifelong secrets come to light.

Summary
Mike's breath hitched again, not out of fear but something else— something he was too afraid to name, something he had suspected for a long time and buried deep.
Across the MAC-Z, Will wiped at the blood under his nose.
He’s beautiful, Mike thought fleetingly— unable to control it, and secretly not wanting to either.
Then Will fell to his knees, and time snapped right back into place like a broken rubber band.
or, Mike and Will in the immediate aftermath of the MAC-Z (ft. Lucas) ; 5x04 coda
Note: now complete with chapter 2 added! (please check updated tags)

Summary
"Shit, sorry,” the boy mutters, already crouching down to pick up his books. When he straightens back up and takes out his headphones, Will is able to get a better look at the person standing in front of him. He’s maybe 4 inches taller, with deep chocolate eyes and a freckle-covered face.
A voice snaps him out of his thoughts, “I’m Mike. Mike Wheeler.”
Will just stares at him in awe, trying to shake off the feeling of butterflies in his stomach. His palms feel weirdly sweaty.
“I’m Will,” he manages to get out, “Will Byers.”
“Cool…” Mike says, studying him for a second longer than seems necessary. “Well, see you around.”
“See you...” Will mutters as Mike walks away.
OR:
New town, new school, and Mike Wheeler. This totally isn't gonna cause any issues.

Summary
“My nose tastes like dust,” Mike says. The statement catches Will so off guard that he can’t help but laugh. Somehow, he knows exactly what he means. He always does.
“How’s your throat?” he asks.
Mike gives a one-shouldered shrug. “Hurts.”
Will brushes his thumb along the side of his neck, frowning sympathetically. He’s being so tough about it. “Do you want me to get you a cough drop?”
—
Mike is sick. He’s also a big baby.
