Summary
“You didn’t have to come with me,” Will whispered.
Even in the thick, humid air of the Upside Down - heavy with spores and the metallic scent of decay - he could feel Mike’s eyes on him.
Sharp. Steady. Unwavering.
“Don’t be an idiot,” Mike murmured, voice low but certain. “I wasn’t going to let you do this alone.”
💕💕💕💕
Will Byers has powers now.
Mike Wheeler refuses to let him face Henry alone.
In the quiet minutes before the final fight, they finally say what they’ve both been terrified to admit.

Robin leaned closer, voice gentle. “All I’m saying is, it’s okay to like him. And it’s also extremely, painfully obvious.”
Will froze. “…to who?”
Robin’s grin stretched slow and wicked. “Only to me. Because I understand. He doesn’t know, don’t worry. Because that boy? Dense. Like, heroically dense. Historically dense. Scientists are going to study him.”
Will huffed, cheeks burning. Will’s eyes darted involuntarily to the centre of the room. Max and El were squished together on an armchair. Mike was sprawled on the carpet with Dustin and Lucas, waving his arms around dramatically as he argued about which Star Wars film was objectively the best. His hair was a mess. His cheeks were flushed. He was smiling.
And Will felt that stupid expanding warmth in his chest that he couldn’t get rid of no matter how hard he tried.
💕💕💕💕
Post-Vecna, Will and Robin continue to bond. Robin knows Will likes Mike. Mike thinks Will likes Robin.
One jealousy spiral, several misunderstandings, and a lot of pining later… they finally kiss.

But I know, if the world turned upside down / Baby, I know you'd always be around
“Mike?”
It’s a whisper, but it’s filled with something so earnest, so true, that it strikes through Mike’s very core. Rips apart at his chest, with the familiarity of it. The way his name sounds in this younger Will’s throat, soft and gentle and so, so relieved.
“Will,” Mike says back, matching his whisper. “Hey, Will, it’s me. Mike.”
“But—” Will frowns. He’s so unsure, Mike wants to cry for him. “You’re so tall.”
-------
Or, when Will is possessed by Vecna and trapped in his own mind, Mike is the only one who can save him.

“I… I need you to wake up now, though, okay?” Mike whispered, his hand sliding from Will’s hair down to the side of his neck, thumb brushing tenderly along his jawline. “I need my best friend to be conscious so we can both geek out over how fucking awesome that was—”
Despite everything, he caught himself smiling, imagining the conversation they’d have about how cool Will’s... development had been.

Mike loves Will so ferociously it scares him sometimes, and he cannot fathom going another day without him knowing.

Summary
Because Robin’s words kept circling through his mind, looping over and over like a song he couldn’t turn off.
A brush of the knee. A bump of the elbow. A shared look.
Little signs. Little hints. Little pieces of something that looked a whole lot like possibility.
And with Mike lying next to him right now, their shoulders nearly touching, their hands inches apart on the bed, Mike watching him with those soft, searching eyes, it was impossible not to wonder if maybe, just maybe…
Those signs were already there.
💕💕💕
Will’s spent years loving Mike Wheeler in silence. After Robin’s advice and a lifetime of mixed signals, he decides it’s time to finally find out whether Mike loves him, too. Spoiler alert, he does.
