Summary
“Are you okay?”
“Yeah, I’m okay,” Will finally answers. “I’m sorry for bothering you.”
“Are you sure? Why did you call?”
“Oh, it’s nothing. I was just bored.” A beat, where Will waits for Mike to say something, to say, we can come over! but it never comes. “Sorry for interrupting you. Or just, you know-I’m sorry for bothering you.”
“No it’s- don’t worry about it. I’ll see you soon, okay?”
Will wonders if he means tomorrow or in another two days. “Yeah, sure. Tell El I said bye.”
“I will. Bye Will!”
Will lowers the antenna and turns off the walkie-talkie with a loud sigh.
He’s never minded being on his own but he hates being left alone. This was never his choice.or
Three times where Will writes Mike a letter.

Summary
“How’s school going?” Joyce asks.
“Good. It’s…going good,” Mike replies. She nods and sips her hot chocolate.
“Mrs. Byers.” She looks up at him and Mike feels his heart beat faster. “Why did you make three hot chocolates?”
She takes her time to answer. “I don’t know,” she replies after a while. “It felt like the right thing to do today.”
Today. Today’s weird, Mike thinks.
“It’s March 22nd today.”
“I know.”or

Summary
Mike barks a laugh. “I’m, unfortunately, requesting your companionship Thursday night to see Child’s Play 2 with Will and I.”
She sends him a look of bewilderment. “How did I get dragged into your date with Will?”
“Y’know, it’s really great that I can count on such discretion from you and Lucas. Super awesome that you don’t tell each other everything.” Max ignores him and he continues on. “Well, I tried my best, but he kind of looked at me all-dumbfounded and wasn’t saying anything, so I panicked.”
“Well, duh. He’s liked you since, like, birth. Did you even give him enough time to answer?”
“Of course I gave him enough time to answer.” Mike grits out, voice tight. “I know how to have a fucking conversation with someone, Maxine.”
Mike Wheeler can’t pick a major to save his life, is fighting for said life in the worst class ever (Astronomy 101), and is desperately trying to romance the best person in his life.
Enter: Will Byers, his advanced concepts in painting final project, and his pretty eyelashes.

"Would glue himself back together every night to be broken apart every morning, existing in an endless cycle of desperate self-flagellation, if it meant that Will Byers would allow Mike Wheeler to exist within his orbit" my god cryingggggg

Summary
"He refused to remember anything, to remember a world after Will. He didn't want there to be a world after Will.
Apparently, his subconscious decided that the best way to avoid that was to surround himself with Will.
He assumed that's why he was now in his basement."Or: Will "dies" and Mike has the biggest crashout the world has ever seen.

"Mike had never drawn Will. Not once. Of course he hadn’t, that was Will’s thing. He never thought he would need to memorialize his best friend’s face in soft pencil strokes, he never thought he would lose his best friend" I can't 😭😭😭

Summary
It’s time for the party to head off to college, from Hawkins, Indiana all the way in sunny California!
What was supposed to be a 3-day road trip turns into spontaneous, last minute adventures that end up taking them off the road and delaying college life. Between shared motel beds, a dive into possible world-ending powers, and embarrassing childhood memories, all ideas of “platonic friendship” between Mike and Will are slowly being dismantled.
The lifelong crush Will Byers tried to keep buried is beginning to catch up with him as Mike Wheeler grows bolder and bolder with testing the bounds of their relationship, despite his pathological struggle to deal with his feelings…
Or, Mike and Will’s feelings for each other are building faster than they can keep up and things start getting a little… fluffy, angsty, and super smutty.
