Summary
Will Byers hadn't the words to use at twelve to explain just why the invasion of the Mind Flayer left shame hot across his cheeks. He didn't dare explore why his memories of Vecna's voice were the times he'd heard it praising him, a lilt of adoration twisted up in his possessive tone. He didn't think to tell his friends just why his body remembered Vecna's presence before his mind.
For years, Will had managed to hide the sides of himself that were nauseated by affection and writhed under intimacy, but after one late night argument in the winter darkness of the Wheeler kitchen, Will finds himself wrapped up in Mike's plan to heal that part of him he'd once swore to never let anyone see.Still... Will can't help but wonder how many weeks of Mike touching him like a lover he can take before losing the few splinters of sanity he'd had left.
TLDR;
Will has severe intimacy issues due to the predatory nature of how Vecna used/treated him as a child, and Mike decides to fix that through touch-exposure-therapy (He's not the smartest boy, cut him some slack).Bookmarked by spritearight

Summary
“Your boyfriend?” she prompted, speaking quite slowly and carefully as though she was talking to a toddler, “You know, the fake boyfriend you use as an excuse every time someone asks you out?”
Will blinked surprisedly, then cracked up laughing, “What?” he said, “Fake boyfriend?” he repeated, grinning, “You do realise — you know my boyfriend isn’t fake, right? I do have a boyfriend. For the past year and a half, actually.”
Will Byers’ boyfriend is something of a myth amongst the residents of RISD. Nobody has met him, he supposedly helped to save Will’s life, and he goes to Brown. Seriously… who is this guy?
Or; Byler from the perspective of Will’s college friends.

Summary
For not the first time that night, Mike wonders if Will is still awake in the basement.
Tossing and turning on the old spare mattress that Mike had relegated him to instead of- Well. Mike's thoughts slam into a wall. Even if he had let Will sleep in his room, he'd still be on that mattress. Just... just on the ground beside him instead of two floors down.
"You're a freak," Mike mumbles to himself, squeezing his eyes shut.
Or, Mike and El are taking a break, and in the absence of being able to pour himself into that relationship, he's spending entirely too much time thinking about Will... who just so happens to be living in his basement. During the 18-month time jump where the Byers have been living with the Wheelers.

“We could–um. practice.”
“Kissing?”
“Yeah–”
“Like–on the lips?”
“Um…yes?” Mike was starting to feel extremely stupid. Was this a bad idea? This felt like such a good idea a few minutes ago.
Or, Mike suggests he and Will play a game where they have to guess what flavor chapstick the other is wearing...by kissing.

Summary
“I mean, obviously I’m gonna do it. I always do it. But I probably need a photo or reference, and my…” Will trails off and sighs, gaze landing on the dusty box sitting on top of his desk. Mike’s eyes naturally follow, looking a little lost. “My camera’s broken. So I guess I’ll be drawing my figurines again—”
“I could help you,” Mike interrupts.
And there it is. This is why Will should stop complaining out loud.
aka mike offers to be will's reference, they talk about mike's self-esteem issues, and more shenanigans with paint ensue

Summary
Will kissed as hard as he could, nipped at Mike’s bottom lip, slid a hand in the boyish curve of his hips. And Mike responded with sweeter touches, locks of hair intertwining in his fingers. Unfortunately, it seemed that all good things had to come to an end.
“What the fuck are you doing in my house, Michael Wheeler?”
--
Loving each other was an easy thing for Will and Mike. Explaining this to Hopper wasn't – or so they thought.

Summary
He tried, futilely, to blink the sight away, because it must not be real.
Will was sitting up, a hand over his mouth; the other frantically stroking his dick, and Mike could see it all, Will's shirt pulled up halfway - the sliver of stomach bare to his eyes, the sight of Will's eyes screwed firmly shut.
Mike doesn't think he's ever closed a door more quietly in his life.
He walked back to his room on autopilot, every movement executed to be the softest least audible sound possible.
Oh god

Summary
Looking at them all, he relises this is the most at home he’s felt in a long time. Catching up with Joyce, telling her how his family has been— asking Jonathan how college is going. Even cracking jokes with El, it all comes easy.
When he looks at Will, though— laughing radiantly from across the table and smiling over at Mike before looking back down to his food, almost as if he’s shy— he feels different.
For some completely unfathomable reason, he gets the overwhelming desire to kiss him.

Summary
The feeling of being wanted is a powerful drug. Being wanted by the one you want is incomparable.
"Mike," Will says lowly. "You’re— You’re so close."
Too close, his brain supplies, a little hysterical. Too much.
Mike doesn’t pull away. "I know."
"Why?"
"Keeping up…" Mike exhales a short laugh that Will feels on his neck, "appearances."
-
A guy hits on Will at a party, Mike leaves with a hickey, and by morning everybody thinks they're dating.
Will knows it’s supposed to be pretend. He just doesn’t know how to act like he hasn’t wanted this for as long as he can remember.

Summary
“Okay,” Mike said slowly, trying to keep his voice calm, “we’ll figure it out step by step. No pressure. I’ll… I’ll help you practice control, see how far you can go without, you know, frying the house.”
Will peeked up at him, just enough to see the shy smile tugging at Mike’s lips. “I… I don’t even know if that’ll work,” he admitted, voice soft. “What if it doesn’t? What if it just keeps happening?”
Mike shook his head firmly. “It will work. And if it doesn't, we’ll find something else. We always do.”
Will’s lips quirked in the faintest hint of a smile. “You’re right. We always do.”
Mike leaned forward, careful not to crowd him, “First we need to try to find a way to turn the lights back on. Reverse what you did. Do you think you can–” He gestures towards Will’s crotch, a blush crossing his cheeks, “--Go again?”OR: Will finds himself unable to control his new powers when he gets aroused. Every time he gets "excited," strange things happen with the power. He tries to convince himself it's a coincidence, but when he finishes, and the power goes completely out, he begins to panic.
His panic takes him straight to Mike's window, and Mike offers a helping hand. In a best friend way, of course.- Language:

Summary
“I know, I heard you” Will teased. Taking a sharp breath.
“I heard you too” Mike added, words muffled into his skin. Will let out a breathy laugh, and Mike shortly joined with a pleased sigh.
“Mike?” Will questioned, his head tilting up a touch.
“Next time, you should just come in here”
Mike and Will move into their small college apartment, and the lack of privacy stirs up a lot of unresolved feelings and hormones.

Steve looks between the four identical faces. “You’re not even a little curious?” he asks. “About how your other lives are going?”
“No,” Mike answers, immediate.
Too immediate.
Mike with the eyebrow ring snorts. The one in the tracksuit glances at Will again—just a flick of the eyes. The knight folds his hands behind his back and looks at the first Mike like he’s deeply disappointed.

Summary
“You know, Max said that you might be jealous or something. And I didn’t wanna believe her, because why on earth would you be, but now I’m thinking she’s not that far off. Are you jealous? Is that what this is?”
There’s something familiar in his tone, or in the quick escalation of a situation out of Mike’s control, that strikes him right in the chest. Will looks as furious as ever, and he’s thrown back to almost a decade ago, fighting in the humid summer rain and all the fights they had after. Will always had a way of laying things bare, and while he didn’t do it often, it never failed to act as a quick smack upside the head for Mike, because it was only Will who could find the right thread to pull and untangle things.
Of course he’s jealous. Will’s the only thing that’s ever made the world make any sense for Mike. How could he ever find a way to put the enormity of that into words?
or, Mike and Will get stuck in an elevator after a night out, right in the middle of their first big fight as roommates. They talk it out.

It was a matter of minutes. Minutes that could have changed his fate, that could have averted the fast-approaching disaster that was coming straight at Mike Wheeler.
Minutes that were wasted because no one noticed his disappearance.
And so he was left alone, with something new and dangerous in his veins, a scream in his head, and only one goal: to get out of here.

Or: Mike Wheeler is dragged to the Soviet Union by the Russians, gains powers, and does everything it takes to survive. Everything.

Summary
“Okay. So, we’ll need someone willing to model for the photo shoot.”
Will freezes for half a second. His mind, traitor that it always was, already sprints ahead of him. Someone tall enough to wear armour, someone who already has a set of armour in his damn closet. Someone patient and willing enough to stand around, someone who looks good in fake blood. Someone who looks brave after being wounded and perfectly prepossessing even after the fog of war. Even after being brutalised, corrupted, eyes made wild with the mess of taking a life.
His new partner tilts her head. “You wouldn’t happen to know anyone who’d be up for that, would you?”
Will blinks at her, opens his mouth, closes it again. Then: “...Yeah,” he says, because lying has never been one of his strong suits.
He absolutely does.
aka will has an art project involving fake blood, and mike can't stop thinking about it.
