Summary
Now that Will’s sitting and Mike’s the one that’s standing, he looks impossibly tall. Tall and lanky, and huge. He should sit back down, Will thinks, lay back down next to Will and stay in their own secluded little bubble.
“I really want to kiss you,” Mike says, and Will’s eyes snap back up to his so violently he thinks he hears his own neck crack with the force of it.
“Don’t,” Will croaks, before his brain has even processed the words. “Don’t say that.”
“Okay,” Mike says easily, still staring. And what the actual fuck is going on? Is Will hallucinating? Is the weed making him hallucinate? “So sausage and pepperoni?”
Will stares dumbly at him. “Um - yeah. Yes.”
“Cool,” Mike replies and then just turns around and leaves Will sitting dumbly in his own room.
or
Mike and Will get high on Jonathan’s weed and Mike has an amazing idea.

Summary
“Well, it was nice meeting you two,” David said. He leaned forward towards Will, and gave him a single, light pat on his head.
“And I’ll see you around,” he said softly.
Will blinked up at him in a daze, eyes wide and cheeks gaining a tint of pink again.
Mike stared, stunned. Did he just touch Will’s hair? Mike was the only one that ever did that!
Mike's semester takes a serious turn when—
A) He realizes he's in love with his best friend
B) A popular handsome senior takes interest in said best friend, and he can't stand it- Language:

Summary
Will is pretty sure he’s supposed to be dead right now.
Not in like, a depressing way or anything. It’s shocking, but even with all that he’s gone through, he’s actually doing alright mentally for once. His connection with Vecna has been silent for months, he’s been spending time with his family and friends, and he has a boyfriend. A boyfriend who he has a three month anniversary celebration with in less than a week, by the way. And don’t get Will wrong, he is extremely excited. How could he not be? He gets to date Mike, the boy who he’s been attached at the hip with since he was five. The only issue is, well, he can’t very much attend their anniversary movie night if he’s, you know, dead.
Will may be mistaken, but he’s pretty sure the demodog that was charging at him should have ripped his insides out about thirty seconds ago.
or
Will adopts a demodog. This goes about as well as expected.

Summary
Mike and Will have been dating for a while and it's their 6 month anniversary. They still want to keep it a secret, but they're also very handsy with each other after finally getting the boy of their dreams. Will usually initiates the kisses and Mike's happy to receive, but it seems like every time things get going and good, their makeout session gets interrupted. The universe can't let them be in peace.
Edit: Y'all want a part 2 so I'll make another chapter then. More sloppy makeouts between our lover boys Byler

He’s confused about it too, don’t even worry.

i hate accidents (except when we went from friends to this). by burgundyshirts

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
When Hawkins High gets a new assistant nurse, everyone notices ; mostly because he’s unfairly pretty and ridiculously kind and caring and the list goes on. Half the student population decides to go nuts about it.
Soon the Head Nurse Mrs. Schmidt’s Mailbox (now titled the Mailbox of Love for Will Byers, TMOLFWB) becomes less a drop-off box for forms and more a shrine of anonymous love letters addressed to one (very confused) Will Byers because he’s just doing his job. With doe eyes.

Summary
Will Byers loved Mike Wheeler.
Will Byers had always loved Mike Wheeler, for as long as he can remember.
He liked to think that maybe that day Mike came up to him on the swing set in kindergarten and asked to be his friend, he loved him then too.
Which explains why Will is currently crying in Mike Wheeler’s basement at 1 AM trying not to wake anyone up.
OR; after the Byers family moves back to Hawkins from California, Mike and Will’s friendship is at an all time low.
