Summary
Will is allowed to have other friends. Mike knows that, but that doesn't mean Will should be touching anyone else, because he's Will's best friend. So why is Will so close to Lucas? Why does it hurt to look at?
-
Or:
Mike sucks at feelings, Lucas knows how to get him worked up, initiate the seasonal Byler fight and lots of confessions.Bookmarked by bununuu (bonono)

Summary
Will wiped his damp eyes with the back of his hand and then looked back at Mike. He said, with a wobble in his voice, “I just don’t want to go. I know it’s stupid, it’s only a month and I’ve done it before, but Jonathan was always there, and now he won’t be. And I’m going to miss you so much. I’m going to miss everyone.”
Or:
Will spends every July at Lonnie’s due to his parents’ custody agreement from their divorce. Fueled by a heartsickness that he doesn’t quite have a name for yet, Mike does his best to make things better.

Summary
“I mean, obviously I’m gonna do it. I always do it. But I probably need a photo or reference, and my…” Will trails off and sighs, gaze landing on the dusty box sitting on top of his desk. Mike’s eyes naturally follow, looking a little lost. “My camera’s broken. So I guess I’ll be drawing my figurines again—”
“I could help you,” Mike interrupts.
And there it is. This is why Will should stop complaining out loud.
aka mike offers to be will's reference, they talk about mike's self-esteem issues, and more shenanigans with paint ensue

Summary
The first time it happens, Will classifies it as a little accident.
When he wakes, the morning sun is burning through the window onto their faces, and Mike’s cursing as he stands to close the curtains, stumbling all the way.
“Scoot over,” he grumbles, voice dry, and for a second Will can’t do anything other than sigh like a lovesick idiot. It’s a second too late for Mike, because he grumbles more words Will doesn’t catch under his breath and then physically pushes Will towards the wall to lay beside him, arm over Will’s middle. A second of silence passes, then Mike sighs, only to whine: “Fuck, my head hurts.”
Will can’t help it: he breaks down laughing, much to Mike’s offense.
---------------
Alternatively: five times Mike kissed Will, and one time Will kissed back.

Summary
Mike has one rule that he’s been diligently following since the Byers have moved in: don’t go into the basement when Jonathan isn’t there.
A summer night of exceptional heat forces Mike to break this rule.
Or, one of the many snowballs that leads to an avalanche. Set in the summer of 1986.
