Summary
"..Mike," Will hinders himself with a laugh, "Mike just said that his life started the day he met El in the woods. And you know what else happened that day? I went missing!" He babbles, sniggering all the while.
"It was the absolute worst day of my life, but the best day of my best friend's. That day was the fucking catalyst for years of tormenting horror and evil that followed me back and culminated into my own personal hell!" Will's laughter dwindles, his voice taking on a more reflective tone. "It's just so weird how two people can grow up together, experience childhood the exact same way, but go on to live drastically different lives... But I'm glad Mike got away from me and my endless problems. All that bad stuff? He doesn't deserve that. Mike deserves to be happy and fall in love. Even if he forgets all about me. Even if he'll never love-"
Jonathan's heart hammers and he jumps to cut him off, "Hey buddy, maybe you should try and get some sleep."
Jonathan glances at Mike in the rearview mirror, catches him averting his eyes as tears slither down his cheeks.-OR-
Will's reaction to Mike's disaster of a love confession. -

Summary
“Why are you touching him? You don’t own him.”
Will dropped his head into his hands. “Mike, oh my god—”
Paladin Mike’s jaw tightened. “I do not own him,” he said immediately. “He is—” He stopped, swallowing. His eyes went back to Will softening, and that softness made Mike hate him even more. He could recognize the look, and saw it mirrored in his own eyes countless times.
[...]
“He is the Light. By your oath, I am bound to him. My liege.” He bowed his head slightly toward Will, his mouth wrapped around the word like it was a prayer. “My cleric.” He said after, softer.
“Oh my god.” Will flushed, impossibly. “That is crazy. He is actually crazy."
Max, who had been standing with her arms crossed behind them, muttered, “Jesus Christ,” under her breath.
Mike Wheeler is going to explode, because there is an alternate, armoured version of him, following Will Byers around like he belonged to him.

Summary
It starts with a Hellfire shirt. Mike doesn't know if it's cursed or blessed because wearing it always makes Will act strangely. Then, it's spiraling into a hope Mike didn't know he could have. Will has never been closer, but Mike still isn't sure he can have what he wants. Or can he?

“You’ll let me do your hair?”
Mike knows this is a bad idea. Knows he’ll be red the whole time and stutter and give himself away, but this is Will. Will with his hands in his hair, so close Mike can stare all he wants. Fantasize about what a kiss might be like. Hidden away in the safety of what should’ve been their bedroom. Maybe he can use today to convince Will it can be.
“Only if you make me look good.”
Will stands with a sweet smile. “Easiest job in the world then.” And then he disappears into the hallway before Mike can even start to stumble in front of him.
What?
What does that mean?

Summary
In a desperate, last-ditch flail of an effort to salvage the situation, Mike grabbed Will’s arm.
The silence veered from heavy to charged. All of Mike’s attention surged into his hand. He felt like the entirety of his consciousness was suddenly located in the place where his skin touched Will’s.
What the fuck, thought Mike for the second time in ten minutes.
Or,
After first using his powers, Will falls unconscious—and stays that way. Refusing to leave Will's side, Mike reflects on the last year and a half while he waits for Will to wake up.aka mikewhatthefuckdidyoudogate, FEATURING: wound cleaning, bed sharing, disco, Jealous!Mike, queer literary analysis, & the most horrifying eldritch specter of all (gay panic).

Summary
The Byers’ new house is closer to Mike’s.
This is a Development.
Mike sees Will on the weekends. Mike sees Will on occasional school nights. Mike sees Will like he’s living with them again, stuffed into Mike’s back pocket, comfortably, reliably close.
Turns out, this is a problem.
.
or: Will is lovely, and Mike is in love. Maybe. Probably. Definitely.

Summary
His expression is wide-eyed, caught mid-step, and he’s probably realizing that he’s walked straight into something he wasn’t supposed to see.
“Mike—” Will exclaims, the name tearing out of him on pure reflex. He jerks back from his mom too fast, standing up as his heart lurches violently, hands coming up uselessly like he needs something to do with them. “I—”
Or, Mike and Will finally have a much needed conversation.
