Summary
"Do you ever want-" Mike pauses, searching briefly for the words as Will holds his hand, playing with his fingers. "Do you ever think about like, going further?"
Will bites his lip, the immediate answer being of course, Yes.
"Yes."
"Like, further than second or third base, I mean."
Will feels oddly calm, peering up into Mike's eyes. "Yes."
"Oh," Mike says faintly, a soft smile coming into his face, and not for the first time Will desperately wishes for a peek inside the dark haired boy's mind. Then, "Would you ever want to go further.. with me?"
Or, Mike and Will take baby steps to a big step in their relationship ft. experimentation with gender non-conformity, the freedom and trust that comes with love, first times, technically improper use of a pillow fort but that could easily be argued

@d20dreamer: Can I clean you up afterwards? Seeing you all messy like this drives me mad to take care of you
Rainbowbaby paused the movement, leaning his torso forward to read the chat with the toy still humming quietly inside him. “Look at that… d-d… dreamer wants to clean me. Yes… l-love, you can. How would you do it? Tell me, make me imagine…”
@d20dreamer: With soft tissues first, to wipe the bulk… then neutral soap and warm water, rubbing slowly until you shine again. I’d dry you with a fluffy towel and cover you with your cosy cardigan!
For Mike Wheeler, life is a matter of lists, absolute control, and organization, whose only system failure is his fixation on a camboy from a streaming platform. However, when he crosses paths with the sweet and reserved Will Byers, the lines between his digital obsession and reality begin to blur. Will is a masterpiece of broken glass and hidden scars, trapped in a game far more dangerous than Mike ever imagined. When the ghosts from the boy's past — and the shadows of a predatory industry — threaten to reclaim him, Mike realizes that being a 'safe harbor' means fighting a war he wasn't prepared for.

Summary
Mike laughs helplessly. What else can he do? “Okay, well, when you say it like that it sounds insane.”

“Pretty much, yeah.”

Or or, Mike learns how to say I love you and mean it this time.

Summary
“So, I’ve been thinking," Mike throws his head back into the sofa’s head rest. “You know how I talk about girls all the time?”
The pencil in Will’s hand freezes for just a moment, something Mike wouldn’t have been able to tell at all if he wasn’t staring right at Will’s hands to avoid his gaze. “So?”
“Well, I’ve been thinking, right?”
Will looks up, but Mike isn’t looking back at him. He’s picking at a loose thread on the couch cushion. “What, about girls?”
“No,” Mike shakes his head, “about boys."
Will nearly chokes on his tongue. “You’ve been thinking about boys?”
or, mike conducts an uncomfortably elaborate semester-long personal inquiry project on how to be a better straight ally to his gay best friend. for educational reasons only. obviously

Summary
Mike & Will are roommates.
Mike is sick of the constant mess Will makes in their apartment, so he takes the only logical step he can — he creates a fake Grindr account and tricks Will into believing someone’s coming to their apartment.
Things get messy when Mike isn’t sure which feelings belong to his Grindr persona, and which are his own.
Will’s stuck somewhere in between — falling for them both.
Modern day Byler AU :)

Mike makes a fake Grindr but realizes he's in love with will.
Light angst, heavy cuteneness.
