Summary
“So,” Mike starts, drawing the syllable out. “Tammy?”
“Oh.” Will laughs. “Yeah, that… that would be confusing, wouldn’t it? That’s… not my story to tell, though. It’s… well. Yeah, it’s this person that I… had a crush on. But I was just being delusional. I— I realised they weren’t ever gonna lo— feel the same. I know they can’t.”
Mike frowns at him. Just a tiny thing, like he’s trying to figure something out.
“But how do you know?”
Before they ascend the beanstalk, Mike and Will have a chat about a certain painting.

We can be heroes / Forever and ever / What d’you say?
“Okay,” Mike says, gripping Will’s hand. “Here goes nothing.”
He can feel the vines pulsing around his other hand, reassuring him. Mike can almost envision Will’s voice in his head. You’re the heart. Mike prays that it’s true.
“I really hope this works, Will,” Mike says, and then he presses his lips to Will’s hand.
-----
Or, the only way to save Will is with a true love's kiss. Enter Mike.

Summary
“Yeah. I guess I did. I really did,” Will’s eyes are full of tears, but no way in hell is he letting Mike see that. He gets on his bike and pedals as fast as he can. Behind him, he can hear Mike calling his name, but he ignores him, tears and rain blending on his face.
It’s not your fault I don’t like girls, Mike, but you have never made it easier.
Will has never hated him more, but he still doesn’t love him any less. God knows he’s tried.
~~~
Or the one where the byler fight in the rain goes a little differently, Steve and Robin play D&D, Mike is bad at feelings but doing his best, El and Max hang out with Will, and Will get's more agency.

Summary
Will’s voice trails off, and he runs a hand over his face. Mike waits a few moments to see if he’ll say anything else, but when Will doesn’t, he takes a shaky breath and tries to find his own courage.
“And you thought, what?” Mike whispers. “That - that it wouldn’t mean as much to me if it came from you?”
Will flinches. He’s still turned away from Mike, and there’s a desperation in his voice when he whispers back, “Mike, please…”
Or:
After returning to the Wheeler house, Mike finds out the truth about Will’s painting.

Summary
“We’re supposed to be a team.”
Mike’s hand falls from the door knob. Instinctively, he takes a step back, and he turns back around. The door closes gently behind him, and Mike stares at his boyfriend in surprise and in confusion. “What?”
“We’re supposed to be a team,” Will repeats, his voice trembling yet still a bit angry. His eyes are narrowed at Mike—defensive but still on guard, wounded but still ready to fight.
It’s familiar. Somehow, the two of them always end up like this.
Or:
A year after the Upside Down’s destruction, Will and Mike are in what their friends like to call their “honeymoon phase.” But when a new problem arises and puts strain on their relationship, the two of them must learn what it truly means to work together as a team and to love each other well.

Summary
“Wait,” Lucas takes another glance at Will, specifically at the sweater he’s wearing. “Is that Mike’s?”
Here’s the other thing about the last eight or so months of Will Byers’ life: he’s been spending his nights, on and off, secretly, semi-occasionally, very frequently, kissing Mike Wheeler.
He’s confused about it too, don’t even worry.

Summary
By all measures, Mike is a good alpha. He checks all the boxes, really. Protective without being overbearing, quick to step in when someone’s in trouble, careful but not patronizing. He’s loud and boisterous, sure, but he’s also earnest, and sweet, and so goddamn chivalrous it’s stupid.
It’s all so horribly infuriating, and so infuriatingly endearing.
That’s the thing about instincts. They make everything so confusing. Will knows, rationally, that all of these things are just Mike’s way of being a good friend and packmate. And yet, there’s still a part of him—a decidedly omega part—that relishes in the attention in a way he knows he shouldn’t.
Navigating teenage relationships is hard enough. It's even harder when instincts get involved.

Summary
As children, their height difference had always been something that made Will’s stomach flip-flop in that familiar, weightless manner. Fluttery, before he had ever known what it meant.
Mike would never loom over him, ominous and terrifying like adults were.
Now, with a few years and a handful of growth spurts between them, the difference isn’t as obvious. If Will stood up at full length, he’d meet Mike’s eye with ease. But Will has never learned how to control himself around Mike. So he makes himself smaller, without really meaning to.
or:
Four times someone points out Will acting weird around Mike, and the one time Mike asks him about it.

“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.”

Summary
Will was not expecting an ambush.
Lucas wiggled his eyebrows at him, deeply unsubtle. “Soooo?”
Will blinked. His mouth was dry. “What about me and Mike?”
Lucas groaned loudly, flopping backward into a pile of clothes. “Oh, come on, man. You two are clearly in love with each other.”
Dustin whipped around to jab him in the ribs. “Dude! I thought we were going to play it cool?!”
Lucas elbowed him back without missing a beat. “We are playing it cool!”
💕💕💕💕
Mike and Will have always been close. Close enough that their friends start noticing the soft voices, the gentle smiles, the way Mike only ever seems to be gentle with Will.
A gum-chewing experiment, a handful of soft moments, and one unexpected downpour later… they finally admit it.

Summary
Will feels Mike’s eyes on the back of his head. They’re soft, but Will feels Mike’s gaze deep in his chest. “Can I see?” He asks. He rests his head on his hand, waiting for Will to turn around.
Will smiles softly. He shakes his head. “You can see it next week.” Mike doesn’t push, doesn’t lean closer and peer over Will’s shoulder. Instead, he pouts.
“Please?” Mike asks, staring at Will with his perfect, sparkly eyes. He’s almost whining because he knows Will is weak for him. “Just a peek?” He tilts his head, and it takes too much effort not to give in.

It's not uncommon for Will to have nightmares. Being diagnosed with PTSD since age twelve will do that to you. What is uncommon -- waking up in Mike Wheeler's bed as a result of it. Somehow, despite staying in the Wheelers' basement, Will ends up sleeping in Mike's bed, and honestly? It's probably some of the best sleep he's ever gotten.

Summary
This is what Mike’s been thinking about, in between worrying whether they’re all going to die, which definitely suggests that his priorities are a little out of whack, but he can’t help it. The past year has been bizarre, to put it lightly, but he thought that one of the better things to come out of it is that he and Will are friends again, like, real, close friends. He’s wondered, once or twice, in the midst of his own relationship’s crumbling status, whether Will has ever had any romantic entanglements, whether he plans to. Previously, Mike had ruled it out, because he thought if Will was interested in someone that he’d tell him about it, or at least not hide it. But Robin mentioned a date, and Will’s the only guy she’s been around lately except for Steve, who’s pretty obviously still hung up on Nancy (ew), so, like, what else is Mike supposed to think?
Will has made a new friend. Mike feels normal about it, really.

Mike raised the shovel once more. Blood glistened on the metal of the weapon and on his face where it had splattered, dark eyes glinting with hatred. It was wrong. Mike never looked at him like that.

“That wasn’t on you,” Will says. “You did everything you could. Our crew is the ones who screwed up. If we’d kept Derek blindfolded better, then maybe—”
“Not on you either,” Mike interrupts. “You were watching us beat the shit out of that demo.”
“Hurt like hell,” Will admits with a snort, glancing at Mike. He expects a laugh in return, at the very least, even after his embarrassing moment of flirtation earlier. He doesn’t expect the smile to slide right off Mike’s face and shift into something horrified.
“You felt that?” he asks, his face pale even under the yellow light of the flashlights.Or: Will feels the demogorgon during the Turnbow trap. Mike is horrified by this.
