when your arms are around me (i’d swear that i’m holding the sun) by thousgay

Summary
“Are you sure?” He presses, and it drives Will crazy.
“Yeah.” His voice comes out unsteady, shaken and cracking, but Mike only nods, and while casting him one last concerned glance, throws an arm around his shoulders, leading him over to a seat.
It- he drives Will crazy. He slips onto the terribly uncomfortable plastic chair and tugs off his coat, the thought echoing in his brain, eyes shifting from place to place. The table, Mike, the floor, Mike, his hands as they fiddle to unwrap his scarf, Mike as he huffs out a laugh and reaches to help him with the woolly accessory. Mike’s smiling face. Mike’s deep brown eyes. Mike, Mike, Mike.
December 15th, 1984. The Snowball. Will thinks that there's nothing worse that he could be doing tonight, and he'd rather shrivel up and die than stare at Mike dancing with Eleven for hours on end. Turns out he's the one dancing with Mike, and that school dances aren't so bad after all.

Summary
"So you- you haven't, like. Kissed anyone, then?" Mike asks, fully aware that he should probably just quit while he's ahead but needing to know, suddenly, if Will has any sort of romantic entanglements that he's neglected to tell Mike about. He's not sure why, but there's something in his gut that demands to know, has some sort of sudden need to know if Will has kissed anyone that's not him.
If Will has kissed anyone that's not-
Wait, what?
or: Mike is jealous of himself.

Summary
Will was practically entranced as Robin spoke, and he saw how happy she was in her relationship. He wanted something like that for himself so badly it made his chest ache, “How obvious,” he asked breathlessly.
“Let’s say, the uh, snowball became an avalanche,” Robin whispered to him like a shared secret. Will glanced away for a moment. Robin’s words made sense, and even more importantly, they felt familiar. Familiar in a way he almost didn’t dare to believe, because if he was wrong, he worried he would never come back from the heartbreak of it all…
Or... The five times that Mike was incredibly obvious about his feelings for Will during the 18 months they lived together, and the one time Will did something about it.

Summary

Summary
Ness hasn’t slept properly in weeks.
Every night, he dreams of Kaiser, tangled flashes of 19 and 26, neon lights and warm honey, the rose tattoo he once traced with shaking fingers.
Beautiful at first.
Then collapsing into screams and static.He wakes every morning drenched in sweat, exhausted, irritated, and terrified by how real it feels.
Working in PR doesn’t help, especially when the CEO he’s trying to avoid keeps pulling him closer, in meetings, hallways, in every way except the one they keep running from. Kaiser pretends he hates Ness, but secretly he’s desperate for his attention, for the way Ness used to look at him before everything fell apart in high school.
But when Ness finally snaps, Kaiser confesses something he shouldn’t:
He’s dreaming of Ness too.
Their memories blur.
Their realities bend.
The past bleeds into the present until neither of them can run anymore.Bookmarked by Keys_e

Summary
“Jonathan…” His voice was high and resigned. “You know there’s no way I could do that. There’s no point—he likes girls. Plus, he’s going through a break up. And all this Vecna bullshit…” He sighed heavily, voice crumpling up like a tin can the more he spoke. “The last thing he needs is me burdening him further with my lame crush.”
In a blink Mike snatched up the walkie with trembling hands, shoving the plastic brick’s speaker hard against his ear.
So. El was right. Will did have a crush after all.In which Mike hears something he shouldn't.

Summary
“Look,” Will says again, showing Mike the table he crafted to go in Castle Byers.
“Oh! Cool,” Mike answers, although Will can tell his mind is elsewhere.
“You alr—"
"Who is "M"?" Mike suddenly asks, interrupting him.
Will’s eyebrows shoot up, confusion written all over his face. "Huh?"
Turning around, he realizes that Mike is holding something. A piece of wood in an odd shape. He steps a little closer, squinting his eyes. The capitalized M + W, bluntly carved in the wood, is impossible to miss.
And Will's heart drops to his stomach. Because he knows that piece of wood. Of course he knows it, he goddamn carved that himself years ago.
"Uh, I—," Will says.
Or, the fic where Will and Mike rebuild Castle Byers and Mike figures something out (but it takes him a while, obviously.)

Summary
“Nah, man,” Lucas shakes his head, leaning back as he snacks on an apple, “he got, like, buff. Do you see his arms?”
Mike does, in fact, see Will’s arms. He has not stopped seeing his arms.
“She definitely sees his arms,” Dustin very unhelpfully points out, waggling his eyebrows, and Mike gets the overwhelming urge to bash his own head in.While volunteering at the Hawkins' help center, it seems like every girl around has a newfound interest in Will Byers, and Mike doesn't know why he feels the way he does.

i hate accidents (except when we went from friends to this). by burgundyshirts

Summary
The first time it happens, Will classifies it as a little accident.
When he wakes, the morning sun is burning through the window onto their faces, and Mike’s cursing as he stands to close the curtains, stumbling all the way.
“Scoot over,” he grumbles, voice dry, and for a second Will can’t do anything other than sigh like a lovesick idiot. It’s a second too late for Mike, because he grumbles more words Will doesn’t catch under his breath and then physically pushes Will towards the wall to lay beside him, arm over Will’s middle. A second of silence passes, then Mike sighs, only to whine: “Fuck, my head hurts.”
Will can’t help it: he breaks down laughing, much to Mike’s offense.
---------------
Alternatively: five times Mike kissed Will, and one time Will kissed back.
