Summary
“Aren’t you cold, Will?” Mike keeps going, studying his face. “You’re always cold.” He doesn’t even wait for an answer.
“Here, give me your hands,” he says quickly, already holding his own out toward Will. “I’ll warm them.” He looks at Will a second too intensely, like this matters far more than it should. Robin snorts quietly.
“Oh, thanks Mike,” Will says, flustered. “I’m okay, but maybe—” he fumbles with his coat pockets, distracted, searching for something, finally pulling out a pair of blue gloves. “You might need these. You can have mine.”
or; Mike is painfully obvious about his feelings for Will, yet he’s convinced no one has noticed; no one at all, except for Robin Buckley.

Summary
Will isn’t looking at him. He’s looking at everyone else instead.
“I don’t like girls.”
The words don’t echo. They don’t bounce around the room. They fall straight down and lodge themselves somewhere deep inside Mike’s chest, deliberate, like they were always meant to land there. He feels they are directed at him.
or; Mike tumbles into a spiral of thoughts the moment Will confesses he doesn’t like girls. Maybe Mike doesn’t like them too.

Summary
“In the church,” she adds. “It’s shielded and old... quiet. He won’t look for you there.”
Mike’s fingers curl slightly into Will’s jacket, instinctive and protective. “I’ll stay with him,” Mike says immediately, not even looking at Hopper this time. “The whole time.”
El nods. She doesn’t question it, like she knows that’s where he’s always been meant to be. Will exhales slowly, then looks at Mike. “You don’t have to—” he starts.
“I know,” Mike says quietly. “But I want to.”
or; Mike stays with Will in the Upside Down as the group splits, and when Will faces danger in the church where they're hiding, Mike realizes this is his final chance to bring Will back.

Summary
“William?” he says, tentative, like he’s testing the name, unsure if it still belongs to the same person.
Will swallows hard. “Yes,” he manages, voice embarrassingly quiet.
That is Mike, the boy his brother met in college, the one that will be staying with them for a while.
The one Will never thought could become a beautiful man.
“Wow,” Mike says softly. “It’s been… a long time.”
Will nods, unable to stop staring at him.
or; at twenty-one, Will Byers thinks he’s finally learned how to live without wanting the wrong things. Then Mike Wheeler comes back into his life, he is older and dangerously his type.

Summary
“I’m coming with you,” Will says immediately. “I’ll find a way. I won’t let you go alone.”
Mike’s expression hardens. For a split second, it looks like his breath gets stuck somewhere in his chest, his lungs refusing to move. His shoulders square, his posture going rigid beneath the armor as Will’s words sink in. But he isn’t angry, not really.
“No. You can’t.”
“You don’t get to decide that for me,” Will snaps, his grip tightening unconsciously at the edge of Mike’s armor.
“And you don’t get to make me weaker,” Mike fires back before he can stop himself.
or; Will panics the very moment Mike tells him that Vecna has returned; determined, Will wants to follow him into battle, only to discover that it is his bond with the paladin himself that prevents him from fighting at his side.
