Summary
“The older stuff is in the back,” Mike says.
Confused, Will flips to the very back, then quickly goes from confused to stunned. It’s a kid’s drawing, a little kid’s. It’s well enough done to make out a castle with high towers and moat. Something green that’s maybe meant to be a dragon is flying in one corner, and a rainbow arcs in the other. In the bottom right WILL is written in wobbly letters.
“I don’t even remember making… how do you have this?” Will asks, completely flabbergasted.
“You gave it to me,” Mike says simply, like it’s obvious.
“Mike I- I must have given it to you when we were like, five. Almost 15 years ago. You kept it that whole time?”
~~~~~
Will needs some of his old art work for an exhibit. It turns out Mike has a lot of it.

Summary
It’s not like Mike’s never seen images of naked men before. Porno mags got passed around at school, and he had to change for gym class in the locker room with everyone else.
This is different though. This is images of men touching each other, muscled and hairy arms caressing, mouths wrapped around cocks, bodies bent in various positions as they-
Mike tilts his head up to stare at the ceiling, breathing heavy. There’s no way he’s getting turned on by reading a sex manual.

OR
Mike has a somewhat latent sexual awakening.

Summary
The glances his friends share are not subtle, at all.
“What?” Mike snaps.
“It’s just… you never talk about her,” Lucas says.
Mike’s grip on his beer tightens and he doesn’t say anything. Drinking so much was a mistake. His head is starting to spin in a mix of frustration, guilt, anger-
“It’s been years Mike,” Lucas is saying, gentle like he is when he’s trying to get through to someone, “how are you going to move on if you can’t even talk about, you know, the good memories?”
The good memories are all tinted red and feel like impending doom, except they already happened, they’re not impending, they’re just always doomed now.
“Maybe I won’t,” Mike mutters, words slurring.
~~~~~
Post canon au with a little twist. Karen and Ted Wheeler don't survive the demogorgon attack in season 5. When all of his friends leave for college, Mike stays in Hawkins to take care of Holly so Nancy can finally go to college. Mike is left with a house to take care of, a sister to raise, and a whole lot of repressed guilt and grief.

Summary
Lucas confirms he isn’t just calling to chat as soon as they finish their hellos, asking, “So, listen, I know we don’t really talk about Mike, but have you read his book?”
If the phone call is a surprise then the topic is a full shock, “Uhm, no?”
“Oh,” there’s an awkward pause, and Will is just thinking 'what the fuck man', before Lucas goes on, “He said he sent you a copy.”
Will wants to snap something about 'Why are you talking about me with Mike in the first place?' Instead he runs a hand through his hair and forces himself to respond neutrally, “Yeah, I started it, but I never got around to finishing it.” That’s Will’s polite way of saying he purposefully shoved it into a dark corner of his closet so he could just forget about the damn thing.
The line is quiet for another awkward stretch before Lucas says, “Do you know what it’s about?”
~~~~
Everyone was respecting Will's unspoken "I don't want to talk to or about Mike Wheeler" policy before Mike got his first publishing deal.

Summary
Before he leaves, Mike peers into the hall, looking around to check if anyone is around, before rushing back to Will’s side and pressing their lips together again. This time Will realizes it’s coming in time to close his eyes, like people who kiss on tv do. He feels Mike smile against his lips and he smiles back automatically.
Mike’s face is grinning and flushed when he backs away, saying, “I’ll be back tomorrow!”
Maybe Will should be upset by the secrecy, but it’s actually relieving, because Mike definitely does understand. He understands what this is, and that no one else can know, and that it won’t be easy, and he wants to kiss Will anyway. He wants to be crazy with him anyway.
Crazy together.
~~~~~
Or, Will and Mike get together in season 2 because I thought it would be cute.

Bookmarker's Notes
Beautifully written, multi media, explores Mikes sexuality and identity in interesting time appropriate ways.
Great music choices throughout and the title is a reference to one of my favorite Alanis Morissette songs??
Made me horny made me sad made me laugh out loud I’m not even done but this is going in the top tier ever shelf. -

Summary
When Max is sent away for a month for advanced out of state hospital treatment, Lucas is left with way too much time and way too many feelings. So when he notices the unresolved tension simmering between Will and Mike, he decides to do something about it. But before he can even process what that truly entails, he’s already knee deep in secrets, feelings, and “friendships” that are a lot more complicated than he signed up for.
OR: What starts as a distraction from missing Max turns into the most complicated plan of Lucas’s life as he shifts from helping Will get over Mike to setting them up together (because he’s the bestest, most supportive friend ever, obviously!)

Summary
“So yeah, you could say I’m sexually frustrated,” Will concludes, a wry smile on his face as he finally finishes his rant. “Not to be too graphic, but all I want is a nice, good-looking man who can fuck me hard.” He tips his head towards Mike’s where they're both leaning against the wall, and shuts his eyes for a long moment. “It’s whatever, though. I’ll get ov-”
“I could help you out,” Mike blurts out.
“You- I- What did you say?” Will stammers. Mike squeezes his eyes shut for a long moment, breathes, and then opens them again and meets Will’s gaze determinedly.
“I could help you,” Mike says, with somehow only the slightest tremble of uncertainty in his voice. "As in, we could have sex."or; Will is struggling. Guys who are nice, hot, AND good in bed are apparently non-existent at their university. Frustrated, he complains to Mike - who makes him an offer he can't refuse.
Unfortunately, there's always an aftermath to hooking up with your best friend.
Meanwhile, Mike has some realisations.- Language:
