Summary
The smile that spreads across Mike’s face is involuntary, like it must exist in Will’s presence. It’s like he waters the parched soil of his mind.
Mike doesn’t realize how badly he needs him until he’s had a drink. And right now, he thinks this weekend is exactly what he’s been needing.
OR: After years of grappling with his feelings, Mike visits Will in Chicago for a weekend during his junior year of college.

Summary
Will falls behind a semester, missing his chance to graduate college with the rest of his friends. But he never expected Mike-his roommate, best friend, and longtime crush-to end up as the professor for the one class he still needs to graduate.
Now, navigating their new dynamic as student and teacher proves more complicated than either anticipated. Between shared glances, subtle touches, and simmering tension, it’s hard to tell where friendship ends and something more begins. How far can subtext and their mutual attraction, take them before it all comes to the surface?

Summary
It starts with a dare—harmless, stupid, easy to laugh off.
But when Will is dared to kiss Mike, the moment lingers longer than it should, leaving something unspoken between them.
Years of hidden feelings, and tortuous longing.
Suddenly, every glance feels heavier, every touch means more, and the line between friendship and something else starts to blur.This is the summer of '89 before they go to college :)

Summary
“You okay?” Will quirks one of his eyebrows, then looks down to Mike’s hand. “Your popsicle is melting.”
Mike’s suddenly aware of the stickiness between his fingers as the liquid from the half-melted Jell-O Pop settles in the crevices of his hand. His brain feels completely blank, other than the image of Will looking utterly cock-drunk on a fucking popsicle, which takes center stage, pushing everything else out of the way.
Mike blinks rapidly, hoping to chase the image away, but it’s stuck there now, under his eyelids, under his skin, carved deeply into the fabric of his very being.
Fuck. He’s hard. Raging hard. He never gets hard. What is this?!
or
Mike Wheeler has spent years thinking something is wrong with him.
Everyone else wants sex. Everyone else talks about it. Everyone else seems obsessed with it.
Mike isn’t.
Not until Will Byers sits next to him at Lover’s Lake and eats a popsicle in a way that turns his world upside down.
Now Mike has a problem.
And he’s determined to prove it has absolutely nothing to do with his best friend. -

Summary
“Is … Will, is there someone there with you?”
The answer was immediate. “No! God, Mike, no. If Hopper found out, he would kill the guy that was here. It’s just … and don’t make a big deal out of it or anything, but, um, I was drawing - ha, it’s kinda - well, uh, you. I’m drawing you.”
“Oh.” Mike said it before he had a chance to process what Will had said. And before he even knew what he was saying next, he asked, “What am I wearing in the drawing?”
“Uh, well it’s realism, and I’m practicing, like, body positioning, so - um, nothing. You’re not wearing anything.”
or
It's the summer after graduation, and Mike comes up with a special D&D campaign - one that only him and Will can play. One where they kiss and touch and … well, you know.

Summary
Boris put a hand on the doorframe above Theo’s head and leaned into his space. Theo gulped, the action not helping in easing his tinted face. Trying to be somewhat nonchalant, Theo folded his arms. “Why did you have to be a dick and wake me up at eight in the fucking morning?”
Boris chuckled. “Wow Potter. No goodmorning?” He placed his fingers under Theo’s chin, tilting his face up.
“You are always all business Potter, eh? Ever try a vacation?”Bookmarked by indigo_starr

Summary
Mike is struggling to accept that he does, in fact, feel romantic and sexual attraction to Will. After inviting the Byers to live with them, this problem worsens, and he's forced to finally start grappling with the fact that he finds his best friend hot. Meanwhile, Will is putting two and two together, confused and intrigued by the way Mike is now behaving.
Vickie comes to Mike's aid, while Robin and Steve lay out a silver platter with the groundwork of a plan for Will to get Mike to either admit his feelings or get over them. It seems to be the perfect plan, and the stage had already been set by Dustin, in the shape of a dog clicker.
