Summary
"What you should do is come spend the summer with me."
The suggestion came in loud, cutting his words short as well as grabbing everyone's attention. Although Lucas had just offered something similar, the words didn't seem to hold the same weight coming from Mike. Will's heart picked up as his eyes landed on the boy, who seemed oblivious to the sudden shift in the air. He was met with this familiar gaze — the one that made him feel like he was the only one in the room —, intense, focused, but also incredibly genuine. The others exchanged looks that Will couldn't quite decipher as Mike kept going.
"I mean I'd love to have you there."Or : After graduation, Will is set to spend a pretty lonely summer as his friends all have plans of their own. That is, until Mike suggests they stick together.

Summary
Mike is waiting for Will in the basement, a look of suspicious, nervous excitement on his face. He cleared the table and laid out upon it are two card games.
"Now, I know you’ll resist," Mike blurts out, stepping toward him. "But I think this will be good. For both of us! For when we... you know,” Mike trails off, “When we get partners.”
Will scoffs, stepping closer to inspect the titles.
Spill or Sip and Truth, Dare, or Strip.
Or: Mike suggests a spicy card game to help Will loosen up before college. It works a little too well, and suddenly they’re gambling with unresolved feelings, and clothes, that were meant to stay in place.

Summary
Mike grabs Will’s hands and tangles them with his own, blinking up at him through his long, dark lashes. His eyes are endless. Solid black, like the night above them. So shiny that Will can see himself, tipsy and happy, in the reflection. “I want to be stuck with you,” Mike whispers, like it’s a secret. “I don’t ever want to leave.”
Will sucks in a sharp breath, squeezing his hands. “Then don’t,” he whispers back, punched-out and honest. “Stay.”
—
Senior year in Hawkins. Will and Mike figure some things out.

Summary
College was supposed to be a fresh start. The Party is scattered across nearby campuses, close enough to pretend nothing has changed. Will is finally happy or at least trying to be with his new boyfriend, Carlton. Mike tells himself he doesn’t care. He tells himself a lot of things.
Between shared houses, crowded college parties, and a friend group that never really learned how to separate, they keep falling into familiar patterns: late nights, quiet check-ins, and Mike noticing things he probably shouldn’t anymore. Everything Mike thought he understood about himself starts to unravel. Some realizations come too late. Some feelings refuse to stay buried.
And some feelings don’t fade just because you pretend they have.

Summary
When Mike Wheeler wakes up one day everything seems normal. When he wakes up the next day everything seems normal too, or at least it would be if he wasn’t living the same exact day over again. Every morning Mike wakes up to the same exact day, that is until he realizes he can do whatever he wants… no consequences. When he repeatedly relives his same interactions… something shifts. Maybe he’s less afraid to do say what he wants- to do what he wants, until one day it doesn’t reset, and he finds himself much deeper than he could have imagined.
or:
Mike Wheeler wakes up in a time loop where every day he finds himself closer and closer to Will byers.

Will frowned slightly and bent down to pick it up. “What’s this?” he asked, already unfolding it before anyone could answer.
Mike watched Will’s face change in real time. The confusion first, surprise, then color bloomed across his cheeks.
“Oh,” Will said softly.
Dustin immediately leaned in. “Wait, wait, wait. What is it-” He squinted, then gasped loudly. “Holy shit!”
Lucas craned his neck. Max leaned over. Jane squealed so loudly a kid down the hall actually turned to look.
“It’s a love poem!” Jane announced, delighted.
Will tried to fold the paper back up, mortified. “Guys-”
“It says I love you,” Dustin read aloud, absolutely not helping. “Whoever this is, they are down bad.”

Summary
The first time it happens, Will classifies it as a little accident.
When he wakes, the morning sun is burning through the window onto their faces, and Mike’s cursing as he stands to close the curtains, stumbling all the way.
“Scoot over,” he grumbles, voice dry, and for a second Will can’t do anything other than sigh like a lovesick idiot. It’s a second too late for Mike, because he grumbles more words Will doesn’t catch under his breath and then physically pushes Will towards the wall to lay beside him, arm over Will’s middle. A second of silence passes, then Mike sighs, only to whine: “Fuck, my head hurts.”
Will can’t help it: he breaks down laughing, much to Mike’s offense.
---------------
Alternatively: five times Mike kissed Will, and one time Will kissed back.

Summary
His pale skin glowed against the lights, the shimmery body glitter he was wearing caught light whenever he moved. It was everywhere; on his neck, across his collarbones, smeared down his chest, spread along his waist and glimmering on his arms. His lashes were coated with mascara and every time he blinked, Will was sure that there was a tornado somewhere caused by the butterfly effect. He was a sight for the sore eyes.
Or the AU where a drunk Mike Wheeler at a Halloween party tries to kiss Will Byers. Chaos ensues.

Summary
Will raises his eyebrows. “Is that why you came in here?” he repeats, looking back down at the blue flannel. “To ask me about the weather in Lenora?”
“Kind of,” Mike says, and then, “well no, not about the weather specifically. I just– I wanted to talk to you.”
“Oh.” And Will looks a lot more surprised at this, actually, than the idea that Mike might have just wanted to come to his room to make small talk about unseasonably frigid California winters. “Okay. What about?”
“Anything.” The response is embarrassingly immediate. “Everything. I don’t know. I missed you.”
Hawkins, 1986. The world is ending, there are too many people in Mike's house, and to top it all off, he and Will have some things to talk through.

Summary
Mike had always loved New Year’s Eve—and Will found that incredibly endearing. Seeing the way Mike’s eyes lit up at the mention of the holiday and gifts (something Wheeler tried very hard to hide) made Will want to buy every present in the world and give him the perfect celebration. Well, the first part was impossible—but making the holiday better? That, he could do.
The Byers family was temporarily staying with the Wheelers, and it just so happened that New Year’s would be celebrated together. For Will, it felt like a huge chance to finally open his heart.

Summary
He staggered back over the edge, crying out. Just in time, Spiderman shot out an arm to grab him from around the waist, pulling Mike out of danger. Mike cursed himself, adrenaline pumping wildly. The superhero chuckled, getting them as far away from the edge of the rooftop as possible, before letting Mike go.
“You okay?” Spiderman asked, and Mike could almost see his grin of amusement.
Mike, on the other hand, was the epitome of embarrassment. “Uh,” He croaked. He felt like crying.
“Seriously, are you going into cardiac arrest?” Spiderman asked, putting a hand on Mike’s shoulder.
Mike felt himself flush deeper. “No. No- yeah. I’m fine. Thank you.” He looked at the ground. The right knee of his khakis was stained oil-black. How had that even happened?
“You sure?” Spiderman squeezed his shoulder. That was not helping at all.
“Yeah.” Mike nodded, and Spiderman released his grip. “Fine. Thanks for…” He trailed off. “Saving me. I guess.”
or, Micheal James Wheeler, an intern at a New York based publishing company, is in love with his best friend. Will Byers, a student majoring in visual arts, is Spiderman. As in THE Spiderman.
