What's It Gonna Take To Break Your Heart? by blackeyetwokisses

Summary
“I was in love with you,” He mumbles, voice heavy with wetness and choked down tears, barely coherent. But Mike stills beside him at once, the furious up and down of his chest stopping entirely.
Will harshly swipes off incoming tears.
“What?” Mike says, dumb and stupefied, “When?”
“Before,” He replies, trying his best not to cry. Mike, finally, leans away and ends their contact leaving Will cold.
“Before or after Tammy?”
His voice came out tight and controlled. Will felt like a child throwing a tantrum.
“Mike,” He somehow gains the strength to match that collected cadence, “You are Tammy.”
It's been two years since everything ended. Since the Upside Down closed, El died and everything went back to normal. And now it's the summer after graduation, the last summer he ever spends in Hawkins, spends with Mike Wheeler who Will Byers has been trying to get over for the past two years among other things such as trying to pretend he isn't actively falling apart.
When Max, Lucas and Dustin all leave town for a week, leaving Mike and Will to each other. A series of explosions occur between them, decisions are taken, mistakes are made and things change.

Summary
Mike, who, for some reason, was staring at Will with a small frown, and then, without any sort of warning, said, “wait, you still like me though, right?”
Will blinked.
Dustin choked on his soda while El immediately started smacking his back with a worried look on her face. Lucas’ eyebrows were so high on his forehead that they looked like they would launch right off, and Max squinted so hard that there was a deep crease in the bridge of her nose.
“What?” Will finally said.
Mike huffed like he did whenever he was annoyed. “I mean, it just - you keep talking about Lucas’ arms - “
“Lucas’ arms?” Both Will and Max repeated.
***
After Will's confession, he kind of figured things would go back to normal, and for the most part, it has.
He just wants to know why the hell Mike keeps talking about Will's crush on him.

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.

Summary
Will misses the Mike he used to know.
He misses when it was just the two of them. When they were free and inseparable and when they were astronauts and adventurers and pirates and the paladin and the sorcerer. When he was Mike's prince, and Mike was his knight in shining armour.
Will misses his Mike.

Summary
I wrote this at like 3:00am based on a dream I had. So.
.Mike was touchy, it was just in his nature.
Maybe that's why, when Mike reached out, hands cupping his own, leaning in close, a murmur of “I miss you, Will. I miss us,” all Will did was squeeze back, the way he always had.
It started off the same as always, something unintentional that Will could brush off, accident touches that slowly grew into something friendly, platonic, normal. The occasional nudge of an elbow to his side, a long look and a hand reaching out to grip his shoulder. Simple. Friendly.
But now?
Now Mike couldn't seem to be able to keep his hands off of him.
It was driving Will crazy.

Summary
“Dustin’s your Tammy?” And it shouldn’t bother him. Not really. But what the fuck? What does Dustin have that Mike doesn’t?
“Dustin is, without a doubt, not my Tammy.” Will hums, serene as can be. Which is pretty annoying, considering Mike’s sort of wanted to fight Dustin since the words came out of his mouth.
“Oh. You’re sure?”
“Pretty positive, yeah.” Will laughs.

Summary
Mike’s entire body pulses with frustration. “Because I’m not Tammy Thompson!”
Will can’t breathe. “But–”
“I’m not Tammy Thompson.” Mike’s eyes blaze. “I’m goddamn Mike Wheeler, and I’ve been in love with you since you set my hair on fire in science class when we were ten.” His jaw clenches, and Will feels like someone let off a grenade next to his head. “I realised I was in love with you when you left me for Lenora, and realised you loved me when you made up that bullshit about El asking you to make me the painting.”
Will feels the blood leave his face, feels his entire world shifting in an instant. “Mike–”
“And then you stand there and tell everyone it’s this crush that amounts to the same as some girl who didn’t like Robin back?” Mike’s voice cracks. “I– how am I that to you?”
