Summary
“Just saying, if you’re taking another hit, you should share it with me,” Mike says, and Will slowly tilts his head, drinking in every word. “It just makes sense. Like, mathematically.”
Will’s reddened eyes narrow, bewildered. “Mathematically?”
“If there’s two hits left, we’d each only get one,” Mike explains. “But if we shotgunned, we’d both get two.” God, this is the best idea he’s had in ages. He should’ve stolen Will’s weed, like, months ago. “That’s like, bang for your buck. This is simple math, Will Byers. Keep up.”
In which it’s well past midnight in New York, Will can’t sleep, and Mike feels like they barely know each other anymore.
So, they get a little high. Mike is very normal about all of it.

Summary
“Will,” The name falls softly from Mike’s lips, pained. “I don’t think I will ever really like anyone who you’re with, if it’s not me. Especially not if it’s… him.”
“I know,” Will mumbles, adjusting the way he’s lying down so that he’s even closer to him than he was a couple of seconds earlier. Mike continues to play with Will’s hair, delicately wrapping the strands around his fingers. “I just wanted to hear you say it.”
OR:
Mike and Will reunite at a wedding after years of not speaking, where they learn that time can’t bury emotion.

Summary
Beauty was in the eye of the beholder, but Mike disagreed.
There was no world where anyone could argue that Will was only beautiful to certain people, because that simply was not true.
Will had been personally crafted by Aphrodite herself and Mike knew, without question, that if a blind person were to press their fingertips against Will's face and dragged them across his skin, they could tell that the boy poured heart-stoppening, maddening beauty from every single one of his pores.
***
Ever since Henry died alongside the Upside Down, Mike spent his nights listening to the breathing of one Will Byers right next to him on his bed.
Mike stared, and he wanted.

Summary
“A nice little heart to heart,” Mike repeats quietly. “About my dead girlfriend.”
“And his dead sister,” Dustin adds, unperturbed.

Summary
It’s the end of the world but Will’s biggest problem is Mike Wheeler.
It shouldn’t bother him so much. After all, he’s the one who ripped off the bandaid. He’s the reason they’re not speaking anymore.
That message gets lost somewhere in translation.
or
Will’s never been good at conflict resolution and Mike’s never been good at flirting. Some things just never change.

Summary
He’d stared at Will without really seeing him, so caught up in his own thoughts—a constant, monotonous beat of oh my God, I’m alive. Oh my God, Will has powers. Oh my God, he saved me.
And then—
Oh my God, he’s beautiful.
The thought had stopped him short, had landed with a soft and devastating clarity.
Beautiful.
That single word had broken something open within him, something he’d spent years reinforcing with lock and chain and prayer and denial.
After Will saves Mike from the demogorgon at the MAC-Z, Mike finally lets himself acknowledge a truth he's been running from for years:
He is in love with Will Byers.
Now all Mike has to do is come to terms with that truth—especially when Joyce sees it too.

Summary
“I thought you were going to propose to her." Dustin said after a long, uncomfortable silence. There was nothing left for Mike to vomit up, but he continued clutching the bucket tightly in his fingers as if it were what was keeping him breathing.
Lucas watched him.
His empty, distant eyes stared coldly at the porcelain tiles with indifferent wonder. This had been the case since long before last night.
"It was all bullshit." he says, his voice drawn out and trembling under the sound of each syllable.
☆
Will Byers got married on a Saturday, at the end of a sunny summer afternoon in the backyard of Harrington Mansion, in a simple family ceremony.
Mike Wheeler, the groomsmen, broke up with Jane Hopper the following morning.

Summary
Mike's life is split in three categories; the life he should have, the life he wants to have, and the life he has to have. Currently, he's living in limbo between all three; he'll never have that white-picket fence and suburban wife, not when the only girl he could try to love has left him, and while he's finding it harder to live the life he has to have— the life where he hides himself so deep, not even the people he loves know who he is— he'll never get the life he wants, either.
Limbo sucks, to put it simply. He's so close to what he wants (which is Will, no matter how hard he tries to shove it down) but he just can't push past that barrier and talk to Will, not when everything he does always feels wrong.
But, maybe, Mike might come to learn that what he wants isn’t so bad, after all.
(Or; Mike's struggle with his internalized homophobia— among other things, including the concept of free will, Robin Buckley's mildly terrifying presence, and wanting things Mike's sure he doesn't deserve— structured around the five stages of grief. You can mourn a life you'll never live, and you can mourn someone you haven't actually lost.)

Summary
Mike opens his mouth, then closes it. Too many questions crowded in the back of his throat. What happened to you this week? What are you hiding? Why didn’t you call me? None of them make it out.
Lucas, steadier, breaks the silence.
“Whose car was that?”
It takes Will a moment to answer. He blinks at the wall behind Lucas like he’s trying to rewind something in his head.
“I borrowed it,” he says finally.
Lucas tilts his head. “Really? From who?”
When Will Byers arrives at the WSQK radio station in a vandalized car none of them recognize, the walls he’s built start to crack. What slips out is a secret he’s been hiding in plain sight.

Summary
“And why come back when so many are leaving Hawkins?”
Will slowed without meaning to. The leaves under his shoes crackled. “I–”
What should he tell this stranger that wouldn’t reveal the fact that his sister had superpowers and might actually be the only key to save this entire town from a monstrous maniac?
“Well, everyone I know is here,” he murmured. “I couldn’t… just leave them.”
The man hummed softly, then he lifted his head to scan over the woods, a faint whistle came from his lips, before his gaze landed onto Will again.
“Maybe something here wanted you back.”
