Summary
After the collapse of the Hellfire Club, Mike, Dustin, Lucas, and Will gained a bad reputation and found themselves at odds with the basketball team. When Will is sent to spy on a game, his attention is caught by Chance Romero. Trying to numb the pain of his unrequited feelings for Mike, Will makes a deal with his conscience and secretly grows closer to Chance—the basketball star who's supposed to be his enemy. But their connection ignites a fierce jealousy in Mike, forcing him to realize he might lose the one person who was always by his side.

Summary
Hopefully they weren’t. Hopefully he could slip in quietly, make his way to the bathroom for a hot shower, and then crawl back onto the makeshift air mattress on Mike Wheeler’s floor, letting sleep take him somewhere else for a change.
Unfortunately for Will, things never went quite the way he planned. He was so close—he’d managed to open and shut the front door without a sound, the only light in the house coming from the stairwell. He took it as his cue, stepping carefully up the stairs, around the corner, and—
“Where have you been?”
Right into Mike.
...
or: will is spiraling, mike is panicking, and yes, making out with a jock somehow seemed like a good idea at the time.

It’s winter in Hawkins, and Mike and Will aren’t speaking anymore. Living in Mike’s house, Will tries to be invisible, spending most of his time in the basement.
Then the power goes out — and if there’s one thing he dreads more than facing Mike, it’s the cold.
or
Seven nights in which Mike and Will have to sleep in the same bed, even though they’re barely friends anymore.

Summary
Mike didn't have self-preservation skills. Not when it came to Will, at least. When it came to Will, he lost control. Didn't think. Didn't wait to act. Just... acted. Acted on impulse, as though he were programmed to defend Will, even though, in most cases, Will was perfectly capable of defending himself.
OR...
mike wheeler (tries) to defend will from bullies, which leads to a confession of very much so NOT UNrequited love

Summary
“Instead of playing that song, I will strive to use my new disc jockey skills to bring about romantic bliss for the one person left in this town who really deserves a happy ending.”
Will clears his throat. He looks like he’s ready to cry. “And, um, what am I swearing?”
“You, younger Byers,” Robin says, “are swearing that you will be your truest self and not neglect your hard-won feelings, and that you will try to believe in a world where the boy you love loves you back. In the gay way, of course,” she adds.
“Of course,” Will sighs. “Well, then, I swear.”
Or: 5 times Robin and Steve play the wrong song + 1 time they get it right
