Summary
It’s winter in Hawkins, and Mike and Will aren’t speaking anymore. Living in Mike’s house, Will tries to be invisible, spending most of his time in the basement.
Then the power goes out — and if there’s one thing he dreads more than facing Mike, it’s the cold.
or
Seven nights in which Mike and Will have to sleep in the same bed, even though they’re barely friends anymore.

"What the fuck is your problem, Mike? I’m serious. You’ve been awful to her for absolutely no reason. Why?"
“She didn’t- It’s not about Jennifer,”
“Then who is it about? Is it about El? You actually think I’m replacing El?”
“You’re not replacing El, you’re replacing me!”
or an assortment of scenes that aren't about jennifer hayes, sort of, set in the 18 months between s4 and s5 (my contribution to mwtfdydg :)

Summary
"It's not just anything." Mike turned to look at him, and they were suddenly very close, close enough that Will could see the darker flecks in Mike's eyes, could count his freckles if he wanted to. "You're incredible. You know that, right?"
Will couldn't breathe. Couldn't think. Could only stare at Mike's face inches from his own and try to remember why leaning forward would be a terrible idea.
Mike's eyes dropped to Will's mouth for just a second. Maybe it wasn't so terrible of an idea. It would be so easy... to reach out and touch.
Then Mike was pulling back, clearing his throat, looking flustered. "Anyway. Um. Should we-"
What happened in those 18 months in the Wheeler house between S4 and S5 that made Will so hopeful... or, as the kids call it, MWTFDYD Gate.

Summary
"Can I even stop?" The tears smarting in Mike's eyes came halfway from frustration, half pure despair. "I mean, what if being homophobic is like being gay? What if I can't control it?"
Mike could feel Max's disbelief through the cellphone. "That's really not—" and she paused, sighing loudly. Mike could genuinely hear her facepalm. "Jesus Christ, Mike. Do you want to be an ally or not?"
After freaking out on Will for kissing a guy, Mike turns to Max for help. Max helps him out, in her own meddling way.

Summary
Mike’s expression softens. “No but—seriously, Will. He’d be stupid not to like you.”
He hopes the sincerity lands, because he means it. He just hates the thought of sharing Will with someone else. Hell, even Dustin and Lucas get on his nerves sometimes when they hog Will’s attention. Mike knows it’s a personal problem. He knows he should work on it. He just… hasn’t.

Mike and Will are best friends—like, best, best friends. And Mike cares about Will so much that he can’t help getting irrationally angry anytime Will pays attention to literally anyone who isn’t him- in a purely platonic way. Obviously.Bookmarked by cloudqbabie
