Summary
After dating El for three years, it should feel right – she’s his first love, just as he is hers. The problem is, every time Mike’s eyes meet Will’s, he realizes just how badly he wants him, instead. Suddenly, everything he's been doing for the past three years feels utterly and completely wrong.

Summary
Will Byers thought moving to Derry, Maine would help him start over. New town. New faces. New rules.
Then he meets the Losers' Club-and suddenly, he's laughing again. Belonging again. Especially with Richie Tozier.
When Mike comes to visit over the holidays, he isn't prepared for the way Will has changed... or for the way Richie looks at him like he's already been claimed. What starts as a visit turns into a quiet war of jealousy, longing, and things left unsaid.
Because some bonds don't fade.
And some feelings don't let go-they just wait to be taken back.Bookmarked by dynamighto

Summary
“I wouldn't be able to do what you did,” Mike's words fall between them.
“And you don't have to,” Will says.
“Will,” Mike closes his eyes. His eyelashes flutter. “Hear me.”or: Nothing happened in a way Will wanted; yet Mike is here trying to say something he's been soundlessly screaming about for months. It's time to be honest one last time.

Summary
Will just came out to everyone, but Mike has a few questions.

Summary
“What? No! I mean — I just meant—“ said Mike, struggling with the words, “I… I mean… who is it?” he turned back to Hugo, “Can we know their name? It might be somebody we know already.”
Will frowned, “I hope it’s not,” he said, “I don’t like anybody we know enough to marry them — except our friends, obviously, but that’s different.”
Hugo, if it was even possible, looked somehow immensely more excited by these words, “I can’t tell you who it is,” he giggled, “That’s a really big spoiler.”
Mike Wheeler’s son arrives in Hawkins with no explanation, snapped back in time entirely by accident — and he latches on to none other than Will Byers. If only they all knew why.

Summary
“Wow,” Will breathes out, just on this edge of teasing. “You sound very confident about this.”
“Well,” Mike shrugs, swallowing hard in a desperate attempt to soothe his very, very dry mouth, “I don’t know why someone wouldn’t be interested in you.”
“Oh?” Will says, and it’s definitely teasing now, enough for Mike to feel himself turning warm, all down his neck and to the tips of his own – sadly unpatterned – socks. “Someone?”
“Yeah.” Mike nods. Oh, god. This is fine. “In a very arbitrary sense of the word. Just– people. Someone.”
Mike is approximately ninety-eight percent sure that his feelings are requited. That last two percent, however, has really been throwing him for a loop.

Summary
“Looks like I bit you.” Will tilts his head to get a better look. All Mike can do is stare at him. His fluffy hair at the front, clumped pieces at the back where he’d slid his fingers in a mere few minutes before. His pretty green eyes that look hazel or even brown in this light, the dark circles he gets when he drinks framing them like intricate paintings. A satisfied, bloody smile.
Mike isn’t satisfied. He swallows thickly, choking down the words 'don’t you want more?'
Or: Will dresses as a vampire for a college halloween party, but Mike thinks his costume isn’t bloody enough. Will lets him fix it. Mike goes into a crisis.

Summary
So, without any other evidence to go off of, Mike tried to work backwards with what little information that he had.
1. Will was upset.
2. Will had first starting acting weird since El’s question during Never Have I Ever.So, of course, Mike’s sleep-addled, partially hungover brain made the only logical connection he could think of.
Will was lashing out and upset because he was embarrassed. Embarrassed that he had never been kissed.
If anyone were to ask why Mike said what he said next, he would blame it on sleep deprivation, or maybe he was still a little bit drunk from before, either way, all he knew was that he didn’t want to see Will cry anymore, didn’t want Will to feel like an outsider even more than he already did.
So he said something incredibly, incandescently stupid.
“Kiss me.”
Or Mike's idiotic, roundabout way to get Will Byers to kiss him.

Summary
“That’s because she loves you.” Mike tells him “And she thinks you have a very lickable face.” he adds, teasingly.
“Does she?” Will asks, eyebrows raised “Or do you?” he teases, in a moment of bravery.
“You do know what they say…” Mike shrugs, before locking his eyes with Will's hazel ones “Like father, like daughter.” he tells him, boldly.
Will's face goes bright pink at the statement.
God, how is he surviving this at all?OR
Mike and Will rescue a little kitten from the rain. It leads to a lot of wondering, hoping, bickering and falling in love.

Summary
“You’re such an idiot. And where are you gonna sleep? I don’t know where my mum keeps the sleeping bags and I certainly can’t ask her now.”
His words fell flat as the lanky boy threw himself unbothered on Will’s bed and patted the spot next to him, lifting himself on his elbows to look at him.
“Sharing is caring, Byers.”
—
Will hasn’t been sleeping well lately and Mike, well, he just wants to help.

Summary
“Don’t you ever wonder?” Mike whispered.
“About what?”
“What…‘good’ means. O-or just about it, in general.”
Will’s lips quirked up in a smile. A bitter one, but he hoped it wasn’t showing.
“Do I ever wonder about…kissing? Mike, I’m sixteen, of course I wonder about it.”
“It’s just,” a frustrated noise escaped the other’s throat. “You never talk about it.”
—
or, a Party discussion turns into the perfect opportunity to kill two birds with one stone. And maybe let out some repressed feelings as well.

Summary
The juice container nearly slips from Mike’s hands the moment the truth hits him hard and cold, like a bucket of ice straight to the spine, the hairs on the back of his neck rising unpleasantly. He’s remembering Will.
Not the kitchen Will, not the real-life Will in front of him, but the Will from his dream. Which means it wasn’t an actual nightmare. Not even close.
“Are you okay?” Will asks softly, suddenly right beside him at the fridge.
or; Mike wakes up from a dream he can’t fully remember. At first it feels like a nightmare, but soon hands, whispers, and kisses start to flicker through his mind and suddenly, Mike realizes he might be completely, hopelessly into his best friend Will.

Summary
Approximately four hours ago, Will had snapped, fear and anger clouding his mind when he saw the people he loved in danger. Approximately four hours ago, Will had let the darkness in him seep out for all to see, obliterating the monsters who threatened to hurt his friends. To hurt Mike.
Approximately four hours ago, Will had nearly lost him. He hadn’t quite come to terms with that yet.
AKA Mike being a nerd while Will spirals and overthinks things for over 6000 words straight

Summary
Until this moment, Mike hadn’t realized that he was falling for Will Byers. He had known he was on the mountain; could see the snow, could feel the ground rumble beneath his feet; but he still hadn’t been expecting it, the avalanche, a furious white blinding all he could see.
Or, like the rest of us, Mike is making some discoveries after Season 5, Episode 4.

Summary
“In the back of his mind it occurs to Will at that moment that he doesn’t yell like this, ever.
Maybe once when Mike and he had that fight in the Wheeler’s garage 2 years ago, but either than that… Will doesn’t yell. He’s gentle, and grounded, and sensitive. He’s kind, and emotional, and… not hostile. Never has been. He’s supposed to forgive, brush everything off, give grace to even the meanest of people.
But, God does it feel good to get that out. Years of bottling it up and letting people around him just have the win, holy fuck, he needed that.”
