fall in need, i’ll let you bleed by bylerblues (perpetuallymad)

Summary
Mike has always been protective over Will. They’ve always been so close and Mike has always had a base instinct deep in his gut to protect, to please. But it got worse because now Will smells all honeysuckle sweet and Mike is finding it hard to keep himself composed and control his new instincts pertaining to Will.
It really only gets more out of hand from there. Mike has made sure he scents Will every chance he gets, his attempt at trying to keep other alphas away from Will, and he’s sure Will has noticed and knows what he’s doing but he doesn’t comment on it.
Lucas does, actually. -
a dream while we slept by bylerblues (perpetuallymad)

Summary
Dear Will,
Do you remember what it was like to feel like we were magic? Do you remember the tears in time?That was where the other world started. Where things were upside down and time was altered. It moved slower and faster. Time didn’t move for hours and days, but years passed in the blink of an eye.
In Hawkins, life was like a dream while we slept.
Yours,
Mike— ✧ —
prompt: Give me a 90s spin off where Mike goes to NYU to do a book signing under a pseudonym and Carlton makes Will go cause he's such a big fan so Will goes without knowing it's Mike.

Summary
Will doesn’t actually float, but sometimes Mike pictures it that way. He’s so much lighter now than he used to be. On his feet and in his heart. It took a long time, and sometimes Mike still struggles to sew the current Will into all the ones he’s known.
—
“I promise.” Mike grates out. His throat feels like sandpaper. His heart feels cold and scraped clean. "I’m sick. It’s my heart." rings in his head. "PackLoveHome," he thinks back.Series

Summary
Will awakes burning up hot. It’s bright, and he’s sweaty, and uncomfortable. He blinks the sleep from his eyes and finds himself absolutely smothered in Mike’s embrace, light pouring in through the open blinds no one bothered to close the previous night. It’s pleasant, actually, waking up in Mike’s arms but he doesn’t let himself enjoy it or get used to it. Plus, he feels like he’s being baked in an oven and there’s a weird sun-dried leather taste in his mouth. He can’t make sense of it and the longer he thinks about it, the hotter he gets.

Summary
“I t-thought you said you loved me,” Will mumbles, a little broken sounding and it causes Mike’s heart to skip a beat. “I do love you, Will, I love you so much. I just want you to be happy and safe.” Mike assures, thumb still caressing the skin of his cheek. “So let me do this,” Will whispers, his hands clutching Mike’s shoulders, pointedly rolling his hips again. Mike gasps at the friction, his body betraying him. “I love you, want to show you how much.”

Summary
“Please don’t laugh or judge me.” Mike pleads and Will is quick to nod. “Never.”
With a deep breath, he musters up all the courage he has, holds Will’s gaze, and says it. Will’s jaw promptly drops, and Mike dies a little inside. He didn’t mean to say it like that, but he can’t take it back, it’s out there now.
“My dick—it doesn’t—I don’t get hard, and I can’t stay hard. I need you to help me come.” -

Summary
Mike knew he had a problem. He knew he had a problem as soon as he pulled up his driveway in Hawkins for his summer break from college and saw Will Byers in the yard next door helping his mother in her garden. He’d basically watched Will grow up, and now here he was, fourteen years old and wearing shorts way too short and way too tight, bent over a flower bed, leaving little to the imagination.

Summary
Will has always had a knack for sensing when his boyfriend was seconds away from having a moment of clinical insanity. This particular moment just so happened to be right now, right before his band’s first live performance. And that just wouldn’t do, Mike had been excited about this for weeks, Will would help him through this, as he always had.

Summary
"only fools fall for you... only fools fall."
it's been nearly 3 years since mike and will have laid eyes on each other, been near each other. not since the byers clan moved to california right before high school. will, who has been at an all boys independent school in california, and mike, who has been back at the same old hawkins, sharing the pang of missing each other and the letters they've written to each other non stop. that is until will wrote to mike saying he'd be back in hawkins the entire summer before their senior year, and it'd been arranged between parents that the byers boy would be staying at the wheeler house.
