    Summary

    Will needs a date to his mom's wedding. Mike volunteers.

     

    “I have an idea,” says Mike.

    Ice cubes form in Will’s stomach. “How dangerous is it? Like, should I call Dustin to talk you down, or should I call Nancy to be ready to drive us to the hospital?”

    “No,” says Mike, “you can’t tell anyone or it won’t work.”

    “Or what won’t work?” Will asks. It’s like picking up a rock you know a spider will be under.

    Mike gets up and closes Will’s door. Hopper doesn’t make them keep it open but sometimes Will does anyway, because every now and then lying around alone with Mike on his bed just makes his chest ache too much. If the door is open he can tell himself You can’t do anything right now, someone will see.

    Mike leans back against the door. His eyes are lit up with that special maniacal gleam that the Wheelers get right before they do something insane, like when Nancy says, “Then we have to go kill Vecna ourselves,” or whatever. “Take me to the wedding,” says Mike.

    “Yeah,” says Will slowly, “you’ll be at the wedding. Obviously.”

    As your date."

    Summary

    Mike took a sip of his own cocoa, eyes drifting to the window. “It’s really coming down, huh? Kinda nice.”

    Will looked at him instead of the snow.

    “Yeah,” he whispered. “It really is.”

    The living room glowed with soft Christmas lights, snow falling silently outside, Mike’s hand warm over Will’s toes. And for a moment, Will let himself imagine that this was how it would always be.

    💕💕💕💕

    With Henry gone and Hawkins finally safe, Will learns how to love winter again - and maybe how to love Mike Wheeler out loud.

    A soft, snowy Christmas Byler fic full of cocoa, sketching, gentle touches, healing, and two boys slowly realising they’ve always been each other’s home.

    Summary

    So. Sobriety it is. Just a nice, sober night, all alone, waiting for Mike to get back. If he gets back. Maybe he’ll be… otherwise occupied.

    Will groans and flips over, pressing his face angrily into his pillow. Stupid Will. Stupid brain. Stupid jealousy.

    He’ll just sleep. He’ll just sleep, and he will not dream, and if he does he’ll forget about it. It’s fine. He’s fine. Everything is fine.

    He doesn’t know which he’s more afraid of: the bad dreams, or the good ones.

    After season 4, Mike comes back from a party drunk. Some things happen. Words are said. (idk i’m bad at summaries just read it)

    Summary

    Mike Wheeler always seems to gravitate toward Will Byers, like they’re connected by an invisible string; Will could be on the opposite end of any room and Mike would somehow find his way over to stand next to him. When Robin points this out to Will, Will thinks she’s crazy, and they strike a deal; if Will stays away from Mike for a week and notices how Mike will always find him, Will has to consider that maybe, just maybe, Mike has a crush on him too.

    A deal which Will agrees to because, why not? There’s no way this can be true.

    Can it?
