a necklace, an avalanche and the reason I can't sleep by LaaurenEv

Summary
Mike hates that goddamn necklace.
The thing is, he isn’t even being irrational; the material is cheap, and he’s certain that in the next few days, Will is going to have a greenish tinge stained to his porcelain neck.
It hasn’t happened yet. But it will.
“Why are you staring at my neck?” Will’s voice cuts into the silence, lips quirked in amusement. Mike forces himself to meet his best friend’s eyes, and as he often is these days, is rendered speechless.
“I– uh.” Mike looks around his bedroom, as if something in the piles of crap around the space is going to bring him inspiration. Max simply raises her eyebrows, and Lucas offers no help at all. “I thought I saw a bug?”
Silence. Max chews her lip to hold back laughter, and Mike’s fingers flex because he might throw Will’s sketchbook at her. Mike Wheeler knows a great many things, but understanding why this particular necklace is ruining his life is not one of them. The fact it's from Will's boyfriend is also irrelevant.Bookmarked by stasya28

Summary
Hopefully they weren’t. Hopefully he could slip in quietly, make his way to the bathroom for a hot shower, and then crawl back onto the makeshift air mattress on Mike Wheeler’s floor, letting sleep take him somewhere else for a change.
Unfortunately for Will, things never went quite the way he planned. He was so close—he’d managed to open and shut the front door without a sound, the only light in the house coming from the stairwell. He took it as his cue, stepping carefully up the stairs, around the corner, and—
“Where have you been?”
Right into Mike.
...
or: will is spiraling, mike is panicking, and yes, making out with a jock somehow seemed like a good idea at the time.

Summary
„But…But then I realized, he’s just my Tammy.“
Half an hour later, Mike keeps staring out of the torn-up walls of the truck, following the lighting red, pulsing walls they are crashing through – There is only one unrelenting thought in his head, repeating over and over until it feels like it is suffocating him, inside out.
Who the fuck is Tammy?
Or, while crashing into the Upside Down once again, Mike can't seem to focus on the end of the world, but only his confusing feelings for Will. Robin gets him on the right track.
(set directly after Season 5 Episode 07 'The Bridge' + rewrite of episode 08)

Summary
“Just saying, if you’re taking another hit, you should share it with me,” Mike says, and Will slowly tilts his head, drinking in every word. “It just makes sense. Like, mathematically.”
Will’s reddened eyes narrow, bewildered. “Mathematically?”
“If there’s two hits left, we’d each only get one,” Mike explains. “But if we shotgunned, we’d both get two.” God, this is the best idea he’s had in ages. He should’ve stolen Will’s weed, like, months ago. “That’s like, bang for your buck. This is simple math, Will Byers. Keep up.”
In which it’s well past midnight in New York, Will can’t sleep, and Mike feels like they barely know each other anymore.
So, they get a little high. Mike is very normal about all of it.

Summary
“I need you.”
Will’s expression grows more stunned. “What?” he breathes, voice barely above a whisper.
His instincts tell him to take it all back, but the way that Will’s looking at him with those sorrowful, questioning eyes weakens him. And he’s been stupid for many, many years, so what’s a little more stupidity?
aka a s5 speculatory mike wheeler-centric fic about his internalised homophobia and a lot of moments where he's not so clever about his feelings with will
