Summary
Years ago, Will painted the heart on Mike’s shield.
Mike thought it meant something else.
Now they’re sharing a dorm room, falling back into old routines, and pretending the distance between them never really left. But college comes with new people, new versions of each other, and the uncomfortable realization that some feelings don’t fade just because you stop naming them.
Or: Will tries very hard to move on. Mike tries very hard not to be weird about it. Both of them fail.

Summary
Mike has always loved Will.
He just keeps choosing someone else.
Every summer, the same house brings them back together—and pulls them further apart. With El in the middle and time running out, the lines between friendship and love start to blur in ways Mike can’t ignore anymore.
From quiet beginnings to breaking points, from a wedding that shouldn’t happen to a confession that finally does—this is the story of every summer that led them here.
Or: a Byler fic based off of The Summer I Turned Pretty

Summary
Mike doesn’t expect much from his twenty-first birthday. Not a life-changing moment. Not anything big. Just dinner with his friends, maybe a few drinks, and a night that ends like any other.
He definitely doesn’t expect Will to forget his gift.
He definitely doesn’t expect what comes after.
Or: Will doesn’t forget Mike’s gift, he just waits until they’re alone.

Summary
Mike barks a laugh. “I’m, unfortunately, requesting your companionship Thursday night to see Child’s Play 2 with Will and I.”
She sends him a look of bewilderment. “How did I get dragged into your date with Will?”
“Y’know, it’s really great that I can count on such discretion from you and Lucas. Super awesome that you don’t tell each other everything.” Max ignores him and he continues on. “Well, I tried my best, but he kind of looked at me all-dumbfounded and wasn’t saying anything, so I panicked.”
“Well, duh. He’s liked you since, like, birth. Did you even give him enough time to answer?”
“Of course I gave him enough time to answer.” Mike grits out, voice tight. “I know how to have a fucking conversation with someone, Maxine.”
Mike Wheeler can’t pick a major to save his life, is fighting for said life in the worst class ever (Astronomy 101), and is desperately trying to romance the best person in his life.
Enter: Will Byers, his advanced concepts in painting final project, and his pretty eyelashes.

Summary
Dustin hums in agreement while he swallows his bite. “It’s like, against his factory settings to say no to you. What do you need him to do, model for you or something?”
Will shoves his face back into his hands. “I’m going to fail.”
Max rolls her eyes. “You’re not going to fail, you’re going to paint Mike.”
Will lifts his head up from his hands, eyes wide, and shakes his head. “You don’t understand.” He pleads with his awful, awful friends, voice low. “He’s been, he’s using my-he came out of my bathroom in just a towel last night.”
Studio art major Will Byers has a study of the human body due before the semester ends, is in desperate need for a model, and has a huge, life-altering, heart wrenching crush on his best friend.
Enter: Mike Wheeler, his broken shower, and his collection of plaid-print boxers.
