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.

Summary
"Tell me a secret?"
Mike asks, like he's come to do every day, late at night, when the darkness can swallow the guilt and the regret rushing out of their hearts, when their sides press together, the floor long forgotten, ever since the first Will, please, come up here.
Will is a terrible person.
I'm in love with you. I'm having visions. I'm in love with you. I'm not really having nightmares, Vecna is tempting me with a version of you that loves me back. I'm in love with you.
"I think my death is the easiest solution to everything. The Upside Down will die with me."
Will can hear Mike swallow next to him.
"Will, I would let the world burn down to ashes if it meant keeping you in it."
or
They're back in Hawkins, everything is the way it's always been, except - yeah, it's still the middle of an apocalypse, Will is having nosebleeds and Mike would sacrifice the world for his best friend but is still losing him.

Summary
Mike’s hand reaches for the doorknob and Will’s eyes grow wide in apprehension—he can’t go out looking like that. Not that he’s not cute. He just doesn’t look like Mike. At all.
The brunette grabs his boyfriend’s wrist, pulling him back softly.
Mike smiles, surprised when he finds himself in front of Will, “Hey, pretty.”
His words get muffled by Will’s mouth in an instant.
After half the summer of being a witness to this horrible haircut, Will has come to the conclusion that there is no other solution.

Summary
“I bet your boyfriend's funny, huh?” he said, before he could stop himself. His eyes flicked back to the piece of jewellery on Will’s neck. “Nice necklace by the way.”
Will froze.
Mike wasn’t stupid. He knew it wasn’t just a necklace. It was a signal. A claim.
Six years after everything, Mike Wheeler has built a life of routine and avoidance, convincing himself that silence is the same as healing. Will Byers has done the opposite – he’s left, grown, and learned to love without apology.
When they meet again at Lucas and Max’s wedding, the truth Mike has spent years avoiding, finally demands to be faced – especially when he sees Will with someone else.
As he finds out, sometimes yearning doesn’t fade with time. It grows, until punches are thrown.
