Summary
The last time he’d stood this close to the edge, Will had been gone, he’d thought he was dead. Nothing had mattered anymore, except protecting his friends, keeping those he had left safe. He hadn't wanted to live then, not without Will. He didn’t want to live now. Not because Will was gone—he was just across town in Mike’s room, probably not thinking about him or where he was for even a second—but because he didn’t deserve to. Because he was wrong, because he was sinful, because he didn’t matter, because nobody needed him and they never had. He’d just wanted them to need him because he’d needed them.
All he ever did was hurt the people he needed. Why would anyone ever need him? He was–
“Mike, where the hell are you?” Will’s voice latched a tether around his chest, pulled him back, pushed down his younger voice, silenced Troy and James.
---
It's October 1986, the Byers have been living with the Wheelers for 3 months now, and Mike can't sleep through the night, waking to nightmares and struggling to reconcile his growing awareness of his feelings for Will with the expectations of everyone around him. It all comes crashing down around him very quickly and suddenly (though it was a long time coming).

Summary
A branch snapped. In seconds the shotguns safety was off, and he turned the nozzle towards the sound. Silence rings again. Deathly silent. It caught his sent. He is being tracked now. The wind whistles in his ears loudly, adrenaline bursting in his veins; his head flooded with fog. His fingers twitch along the trigger, his eyes scanning for anything that moves, a burning sensation curls over his chest, and suddenly it's hot all around him.
Snap . He swung a full 180; his gun pointed at the last thing he expected.
“Will?!”
“Mike?!”
or,
Mike Wheeler has distanced himself away from all members of the party. Fears of loss overweighing the benefits of having friends. Though, as days move by, Mike is plagued by terrible nightmares, and sudden changes no one saw coming. Can Mike handle these unbelievable developments all while hiding from those he loves, or will he fold and face his fears. The days are numbered, and it's up to Mike to make the right choice.

Summary
He supposes Will is like the sun, to him, although he’d never glare at him in anger. He’d like to believe Mike stares at Will the same whether he’s a sunset or not. Platonically, of course. (Inspired by : byler-prompts/aramapostsandwrites on tumblr.)
