Summary
Will Byers cannot stand Mike Wheeler.
Its a fact. The sky is blue, the dirt is brown, Mike Wheeler is the most annoying person Will has met. So what if he’s attractive? So what if he can play guitar and is overall charming? That doesnt mean Will wants to date him, or kiss him, or hold his hands. Cause he doesn’t. Cause he can’t stand Mike Wheeler. (His friends try to call bullshit. Max just laughs)
Mike Wheeler might be in love with Will Byers
Sure, he’s never really been in love before, but he makes it his mission to “woo will byers” (Dustin laughed at that) He can’t help it! He’s smart and dorky and cool, these are facts. Mike felt like swooning after their (admittedly awkward) first conversation. Will’s also the prettiest boy he’s ever seen, though there may be a small bias on his part. There’s just one small problem, he’s pretty sure Will doesn’t like him. (His friends tell him to go for it, El tells him he’s stupid.)
Aka: The college au slight enemies to friends to lovers that literally nobody asked for but i’m writing anyways where Mike calls Will nicknames, Will “wants nothing to do with him” and their respective friends want them to get their heads out of their asses already and kiss.

Summary
Mike has always loved the color blue. Ever since he saw it for the first time when he was younger, declaring it was the “best color.”
-
“El’s not stupid! It’s not my fault you don’t like girls!”
Mike’s not so sure he likes blue now. Not with the way the sky reflects blue light onto Will’s impossibly betrayed expression. He deserves it, he thinks. The aching pain in his chest at seeing Will upset.
OR- Byler through the seasons, but from Mike’s point of view.

Summary
To be honest, Will was dreading seeing Mike the most since he arrived in Hawkins a day prior. He wasn’t sure how long he could harbor his feelings until his facade melts away.
Now Will is being forced to face Mike at a concert that Lucas and Dustin were dragging him to. “I didn’t even pack anything nice to wear.” Will says, on a last ditch effort.
“I wouldn’t worry about that if I were you.” Dustin states.
With a confused look, Will turns away to grab a snack.
He successfully misses two mischievous smirks shared by the friends behind him.

Tldr: Will agrees to go to a concert with Dustin and Lucas, but is not aware that Mike will be the one performing. Gay panic ensues.Bookmarked by EffervescentError
