Summary
"It'll be like... what regular people do."
Mike chews his lip, squinting. "And what do regular people do again?"
Rolling his eyes, Will's expression turns wry, a blush turning tan skin into a sun-kissed, irresistible shade of pink. He leans forward into Mike's space, perhaps without even realising, his sudden giddy demeanour rendering Mike weak in his arms, spreading all the way to the tips of his fingers in waves.
"They casually date."
A second of silence. "Casually."
Will nods slowly. "Casually."
aka, will and mike, slightly codependent roommates and best friends, enter into a casual relationship after discovering they had crushes on each other when they were younger. to preserve their reformed friendship, will says they need to "take it slow", and comes up with both spoken and unspoken rules to abide by, which should be simple for mike to follow... right?
the only problem is that mike is sure it's only a matter of time before his runaway mouth confesses the true depth and length of his feelings. are rules bound to be broken, or is mike yet to understand why will made them in the first place?

Summary
Mike hummed. Then he asked, “What if you meet them and you don’t know what you’re doing?”
Will stared. “What do you mean?”
He sat up on his elbow, his head resting in his hand. Will mimicked him, his body pulled into position like a marionette puppet.
“When you guys have sex for the first time,” he started, “you’re not going to know what to do.”
Will blinked. He stared. He gawked. He sat there, confused. “I—”
“You should start now,” Mike said. “So when you meet them, you’ll be ready.”
“Ready for what?” Will questioned. His heart was still beating far too quickly to be considered safe.
“Sex,” Mike answered plainly.
OR
The tragic ordeal of being Mike Wheeler and Will Byers.

Summary
Mike Wheeler has always been competitive.
That’s why, when the opportunity arises to compete against Lucas, Max and Will in a challenge—thirty days, no orgasms, two hundred dollars on the line—Mike jumps at it. Easy money.
The problem is, nobody else seems to think so. For reasons unbeknownst to Mike, Will is the favorite to win—no contest, no argument, like it’s obvious.
Mike makes it his mission to prove them all wrong, and accidentally discovers some things about himself along the way.
OR
Two idiots engage in a month-long flirting competition, complete with research notes that are strictly scientific and absolutely not thinly veiled excuses to get the other person hard.

Summary
“You do like it,” Mike teases. “I can tell.”
“Obviously,” Will huffs. “You know what I like.”
Mike does. What a surreal feeling it is, to be the one who knows what Will likes. What makes him blush, or shy away. What turns him on. To be the only one who knows these things.
“Yeah,” Mike says softly. “I know.”
or
Will becomes the patron saint of pretending to sleep with guys to help them come out of the closet. Mike isn’t exactly thrilled with the situation.

Summary
Dustin and Lucas were on night watch so it’s just him and Mike in the room. Having fallen asleep early, both tired from the supply run they were on earlier today, Will passed out as soon as his head hit the pillow only to be woken up a couple of hours later to pressure on his ass.
It took a moment to orientate himself. Used to waking up to noise and vibration but not touch. He was pressed up tight to the wall like usual, which usually gave him inches of space between himself and Mike. But not right now.
Because Mike had scootched across the bed and was spooning Will from behind. His bare chest pressed alongside Wills exposed back, one arm slung over his waist as he mumbled into the back of his head.
Will’s about to ask Mike what was going on when he felt it. The consistent thrusting of Mike’s hips against the swell of his bum. His words die in his mouth as he registered that Mike was asleep. Soft moans spilled from his lips and the hard pressure of his dick stuttered against Will.

Summary
Mike Wheeler has survived monsters, alternate dimensions and the literal end of the world.
Unfortunately, he has no idea how to survive Will Byers in New York; confident, teasing, and somehow making Mike's dick develop a mind of its own.
A list. A rating system. Zero self-control.
It's just an experiment.
Definitely not a way to avoid admitting he's in love with his best friend.
Or: Mike Wheeler gets hit with the world's worst gay panic, and Will Byers has been waiting years to enjoy the show.

Summary
Mike absolutely knows Will better than anyone: the different eye rolls, a certain dip of his head, a Mike versus a Mike versus a Michael. He absolutely knows Will.
So, uh, that's why he flips his shit when he sees Will kiss someone else at Stacey's party... Worse still, Will hits him with: "You don't know me, Mike... You haven't known me for a good long while."
Riddled with guilt and determined to be a better friend...no, Will's best friend, and inspired by Cosmo's Guide to Love Languages, Mike sets out to understand what Will needs to feel loved.
Platonically, of course. After all, friendships are relationships too, right? And Will Byers deserves the world.
Mike, though, is losing his goddamned mind. The harder he tries to be Will's perfect friend, the harder it is to ignore the truth: Will is much more than just his best friend. But the hardest thing of all? Will doesn't seem to want him beyond that.
OR Post-S5, Mike gets insanely jealous when Will kisses someone else, has a spectacular sexuality crisis and accidentally becomes the perfect boyfriend. But after he's made the wrong choice so many times, can Will let him finally get it right?

Summary
“What would you have said?” He asks, needing confirmation that he’s right. That Will had actually told him everything in the summer of 1986.
“What?” Will asks, a little high-pitched.
“If you confessed. What would you have told me?”
“Mike, we don’t have to—“
“I— I want to know,” Mike urges, forcing a smile. An attempt at softness, at lightness. A smile that’s trying to say, this can just be for fun, right?
Will studies him for a few moments, brows furrowed. He sighs, sitting up and bringing his hands to his lap where he fidgets with them. “I don’t know. I hadn’t thought that far ahead. I probably would have made a complete mess of it.” He huffs a cautious laugh.
Mike widens his smile, tilting his head to say, go on.
OR: Mike and Will leave Hawkins together for a road trip during the summer of 1989. The two weeks they spend together change them and their relationship irrevocably.

Summary
Will turned back around, gripping the back of Mike’s desk chair.
“Will, I’m—”
“Shut up, Mike. Just—”
Will stormed up to Mike, mouth parted, chest heaving, and shoved his fingers in Mike’s hair, gripping at the base of his skull.
Mike winced a little, accepting his punishment, until he saw the look on Will’s face.
“Kiss me.”
Will stepped closer.
“Kiss me again, Mike.”
It had been seven years since the party ended in Mike Wheeler’s basement that night after graduation. He was drowning in a sea of conformity, grasping at the only lifeline that ever made sense to him, his imagination.
Or—Mike ends up in New York after years of isolation. Curious to know if his former best friend still lived in the city. He felt completely aimless, until he stumbles upon a gallery, and sees a painting of his younger self hung in an exhibit, a plaque next to the frame reading, “First Love-W.B”.
Mike is finally faced with the reality that he’s always been too scared to admit.
He had to find Will.

Summary
“Is … Will, is there someone there with you?”
The answer was immediate. “No! God, Mike, no. If Hopper found out, he would kill the guy that was here. It’s just … and don’t make a big deal out of it or anything, but, um, I was drawing - ha, it’s kinda - well, uh, you. I’m drawing you.”
“Oh.” Mike said it before he had a chance to process what Will had said. And before he even knew what he was saying next, he asked, “What am I wearing in the drawing?”
“Uh, well it’s realism, and I’m practicing, like, body positioning, so - um, nothing. You’re not wearing anything.”
or
It's the summer after graduation, and Mike comes up with a special D&D campaign - one that only him and Will can play. One where they kiss and touch and … well, you know.
