Summary
As Mike climbs the Squawk tower in the Upside Down, he considers confessing to Will, but before the words take shape, Vecna possesses Mike, and he is sucked into visions of guilt and self-hatred. With Will's voice guiding Mike out of Vecna's twisted mind, the only way for him to escape is to accept himself and his love for Will.
“What matters is you’re still here,” Will continued, “And you still think we can be friends.”
Mike felt a tug in his gut, a confusing sort of melancholic pang that drew a sad smile to his face.
“Friends.”
Mike wanted to be so much more than friends. He wanted to be honest with Will about everything: how he found out Will had lied about El commissioning the painting; how he realized Will's description of El’s feelings had been no more than a veiled confession; how he and El had broken up as his feelings towards Will took form; and how he finally began to understand his feelings, even though they had always been there, unchanging.
OR: A Season 5 finale rewrite of the "Friends? No, best friends" scene where Mike gets Vecna'd AND is actually a well-written character (who just happens to have internalized homophobia and loves Will).

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.
