the great big mystery of mike wheeler's no good, very bad, terrible feelings by smoosnoom (moonsooms)

Summary
It’s at that very moment that, for reasons completely and utterly unknown to anyone at all, every single possible word he has ever learned from any language ever has suddenly disappeared from his brain, and his throat feels relevant to the Sahara Desert.
None of this, of course, has to do with the fact that Will is very, very, very – shirtless.
Will blinks at him. “Are you okay?”
“Shoulders,” Mike says, sounding vaguely chipmunk-like, and he hears Max barely choke down a snicker.
Will comes back for the summer, and Mike deals with it.
Kind of. Not really.- Language:

Summary
Max pierces Will's ears. What's the big deal? (It is a big deal for one Mike Wheeler.)
_ _ _“I didn’t get to see you today,” is Mike’s only excuse as Will pulls him by the arm into the house.
“Mike! You- you look like a wet cat,” he giggles. Giggles. Mike sends him a glare with no real malice behind it, which probably isn’t helping him beat the wet cat allegations. Will bites his tongue in an effort to hide a smile, and look. It’s cute, okay? It practically sends Mike into a spiral because his cheeks are tinted a pretty pink and his brown eyes are practically glowing and– oh.
Oh.
Mike’s mouth parts the slightest bit in awe because Will Byers– his Will Byers– is wearing earrings.Bookmarked by fruitloopmike

Summary
“So, um,” Will stammers. “You’re saying I should get to know Patrick?”
Mike’s expression shutters for a moment, before he seems to pick up on the fact that Will’s joking. “Oh, shut up,” he grumbles, rolling his eyes. “If you want to date an anime nerd, then by all means—”
“Well,” Will says, heart still hammering in his chest. He tries for a smile, but he’s not sure he quite manages it. “No one else is offering.”

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
“How’s school going?” Joyce asks.
“Good. It’s…going good,” Mike replies. She nods and sips her hot chocolate.
“Mrs. Byers.” She looks up at him and Mike feels his heart beat faster. “Why did you make three hot chocolates?”
She takes her time to answer. “I don’t know,” she replies after a while. “It felt like the right thing to do today.”
Today. Today’s weird, Mike thinks.
“It’s March 22nd today.”

Summary
“Uh, you okay?”
Chrissy jerks under the sink, head banging against the porcelain hard enough to rattle her skull.
Eddie Munson stands in the doorway, hands tucked in his armpits like he isn’t sure what to do with them. He stares at her for maybe half a second before his gaze darts to the graffitied wall.
Chrissy gapes up at him, his frame mostly a blur of shaggy hair and denim, before reality hits her and she scrambles out from under the sink, knees shaky and locked up from being tucked under for so long. “What are you doing in the girl’s bathroom?” She demands, swiping at her face like he hasn’t already seen her in what is quite possibly the lowest moment of her life.
Hey, at least it wasn’t with her fingers down her throat.
Eddie rocks on his feet, still avoiding her gaze, “I don’t have a good answer for that seeing as how this is the men’s bathroom.”
Chrissy feels the urge to gag again.
Something in the corner catches her eye.
A fucking urinal.

Twice As Many Stars As Usual by Stargazeth for rottensugars
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)

Summary
”But tonight he is alive and in the north field with his mother.”
Will's lips stretch into a shy smile and he takes over, ”It is a perfect summer evening, the moon rising over the orchard, the wind in the grass. And as he looks into the sky there are twice as many stars as usual.”
“See? You’re alive. You’re here with us.”

Summary
“And I know, it’s not your fault. Trust me, I haven’t forgotten.”
Shit. Mike was really hoping that would never come up.
“I know, I know, I know it’s not your fault. But you know what?” Will steps closer, “it doesn’t change the fact that it feels like your fault.” With a shove on Mike’s shoulder, he painfully adds, “it feels like it’s all your fault.”
When everyone suddenly masters the art of communication, Mike and Will give it a shot. They don't get it right on the first try.
OR: 5 steps Mike takes towards the truth, and 1 leap Will makes towards destiny.

Summary
But there's more flames, more pain, and suddenly Will's entire body is vibrating—no, he's seizing, blood-curdling screams that sound nothing like him escaping from his mouth.
Hell is meant to be cold, but they keep wanting the heat.
And that is not how he likes it.
(It's even more chaos than before, the way Joyce is cradling Will, yelling at Bob to step on the goddamn brakes and get them to HNL faster; the way the quiet streets of Hawkins are disrupted by speeding cars, the way there are actual Demogorgon-like creatures running around beneath the town as they speak.
But all Mike can think about is the way his entire body ached the moment Will was on the ground, as if his lungs were on fire and he was being burned, too.)
Or, the one where Mike and Will are soulmates who feel each other's pain.

Summary
Then he feels gentle taps on his skin.
* * ( I )
Will’s breath catches but he doesn’t move - the two singular taps might just be an accident, after all. It’s not like Mike’s ever had the chance to learn morse code. Not like Will did - with his drunk dad sitting at the table and the only open way of communicating with his mom being by small sounds left on the wood.
* - * * - - - * * * - * ( love )
Will feels sick. He tries to tear his hand away, but Mike doesn’t let go - clearly determined to finish the sequence.
- * - - - - - * * - ( you )
Their eyes finally connect, as Mike lets go of Will’s hand.
Will’s voice is faint and in contrast with white lights surrounding them, flickering lightly, as if in mockery. As if witnessing the end of it all.
"You know morse code?”
or
Mike and Will are on a mission in the Upside Down, when the lights start to flicker.

Summary
A certain scene from the movie popped up, causing Will’s mouth to drop open and for his eyes to widen as he soaked in what was on the TV.
Of all the scenes in the movie, Mike had returned The Outsiders paused during the few, brief seconds when Sodapop was getting out of the shower in the background of the shot. Sodapop haphazardly covered himself with a towel, and then wrapped the towel just, like, stupidly low around his hips, his chest still wet and bare from the shower.
Or:
3 times that Mike Wheeler doesn’t rewind his rental movie before returning it to Family Video + 1 time that he does.
