Summary
(This is set after the show ended, so all the lore from the show is still implied and mentioned in this story.)
It's 1991, and Mike and Will are in their second year of college; they are roommates. Will has been dating a boy named Andrew for two years and keeps their relationship very private from everyone, even Mike, which is strange considering Will tells Mike everything. Mike gets concerned as time passes, and he begins to notice more and more peculiar interactions between Will and Andrew. Will has always needed Mike, but now he needs him more than ever.Bookmarked by OctopusQueen

Tags
Summary
Mike Wheeler is a brilliant young writer with a controlled, violent inner world he hides behind intellect and charm. He observes rather than acts, studies rather than feels—until he sees Will Byers. Drawn to Will’s warmth and talent, Mike’s obsession sharpens into intention. He stalks, plans, and waits with terrifying patience. In a decade that still believes in privacy, Mike proves that love, when filtered through intelligence and entitlement, can become something lethal, quiet, and inevitable.
OR
Basically its the attic wife x ghost face killer x stockholm syndrome(like beauty and the beast but no beast just a obsessive mike wheeler)
Mike is very ooc in this and he is crazy smart & manipulative.Bookmarked by OctopusQueen

Summary
Romantic relationships always lead to intimacy. And when you're exploring it and its borders with your beloved person, it becomes even better. However, it is also better for intimacy to stay private. Unfortunately, it is not Mike's and Will's case.
Will's parents accidentally walk on them during very much innocent making out, which is bad for two reasons.
First, they didn't come out to them yet.
Second, now there are rules, predictably coming mostly from Hopper. And after The Talk, they're even more scared to go further.
Mike doesn't want to follow the rules. Eventually, they'll face it, and he wants to be ready, both for Will and himself. Especially for Will.
So, he does the research. And then, well, uses theory in practice.

Summary
Will is quiet. After a beat, he says, in a small voice, “I’m — I’m fine. Who gave you this number?”
“Dustin,” Mike swallows, throat dry. There’s a million things he wants to say pulsing in his chest. He wants to ask why Will never told him that he was queer, why Mike had to discover through such inane neighbourhood gossip. He wants to ask what he did to make Will feel like he had to hide in such a violent world. He wants to ask why he cries in that video. He wants to ask if it really feels as good as he makes it look, eyes screwed shut, chest flushed. He wants to ask if he meant to say Mark, or Mike. He wants to ask if he imagined those lingering looks, those words, that feeling. He wants to ask if Will really never felt it, that blinding, all-encompassing love. He wants to ask if life has felt like a daze for him, as well, or if he’s awake rather than in a never-ending foggy dream. He wants to ask if there is anything he can do, or say, to get the Will Byers he knew back. But, instead, he says, “I, um.. I just wanted to – ah. I miss you. So. I, um. Asked. Yeah.”

Summary
“Why? Why won’t you ever tell me what’s wrong with you?” Carlton’s voice is filled with frustration, and it sounds like nails on a chalkboard to Will.
What is wrong with him. It’s such a loaded question. Why does Will wake up screaming sometimes? Why can’t Will handle the cold? Why are there days when Carlton’s hands on him feel like being kept under water with no way up?
And why can’t Will tell Carlton the truth? How could Will possibly explain it without sounding insane? What is the human translation for being taken and kept in another dimension, violated, and possessed, only to then be violated yet again—
This part of him is something Will is never going to be able to share with anyone else. That nobody would understand.
Why won’t you tell me what’s wrong with you.
“Because you wouldn’t get it.” Will somehow manages to say it without gagging.
And then, Carlton goes in for the kill.
“Oh, but Mike does?”
OR
After leaving Hawkins to go to college in the great city of San Franscisco, Will finally finds someone who loves him. The only problem is that the only person in the world who knows him, is someone else.

Summary
"Carlton," Mike repeated, the word feeling like ash in his mouth.
"Yeah, Carlton," Dustin said, sounding genuinely surprised by Mike's tone. "I figured you’d be the first to know. I mean, you guys talk every night. I only heard it through the grapevine—Max told Lucas, Lucas told me. Even El seemed to know when I called her last. I thought you were probably the one who gave him the pep talk to actually go through with it."
Mike didn’t know. He didn't know anything. He’d talked to Will on Friday. He’d talked to Will today, just before calling Dustin. Will had mentioned the weather, his latest charcoal sketch, and the fact that Max had accidentally bleached one of his favorite sweaters. He had not mentioned a business major named Carlton.
The betrayal tasted like copper. He was the person Will usually told everything to first.
OR Mike Wheeler realizes that playing the "Good Best Friend" is a losing game, Will is tired of waiting for a sign, and the Party proves that they are world-class at covering up a tactical romantic explosion.
Basically: cheating Byler burger with a side of mutual pining fries and enabler friends soda.

Mike Wheeler totally isn’t gay. Why would you even suggest that? And yeah, there’s nothing wrong with him hating Will’s new boyfriend. He’s just a prickly guy, okay?! There’s no real reason!

"Are we seriously doing this now? What do you have against Carlton, anyways?" Will crossed his arms over his chest, and looked at Mike in disbelief.
"He's a prick," Mike noted, as he continued to stare at the floor.
"You don't even know him, Mike. He's kind, and he's gentle. He's... stable. And he's good to me."
Mike remained stubborn, meeting Will's eyes as he mumbled under his breath.
"He doesn't know you..."_____________________________________________
Basically another fanfic about Will cheating on his epilouge college boyfriend with Mike, because fuck you Duffer Brothers, Byler deserved better.
