Summary
There’s something wrong with Will.
It started three weeks ago, almost four. Will had woken from some sort of nightmare and, instead of seeking comfort in Mike the way he usually would, he’d rolled out a sleeping bag from the closet and chosen to sleep on the floor.
No one believes Mike, except for Joyce. But even she doesn’t understand the full extent to which something is wrong with Will.
Mike understands, though. Mike has been paying attention.

i could be your lover (and you could be my heartache) by sunsetozier

Summary
Silence. Hungry, carnivorous—or maybe cavernous, vast and lined with teeth, ready to bite. The quiet before the storm, the gasped breath in before the heart stops. Tragedy tastes bitter. Blood tastes like pennies. Both are in the air, promises coating the tongue. Something bad is about to happen.
From beneath the bed, something reaches out—a mass of darkness, a shapeless nothing—and it grabs Mike by the wrist, yanks him forward. Mike chokes on a yelp and flails his arm free, blood dripping from where the shadows grabbed him, like the touch of darkness has split him open. He tries to scramble away, unfolds his legs to kick himself back but only makes himself easier, more vulnerable. The unidentifiable mass encircles Mike's ankle, and he screams something agonized, terrified—and then it pulls Mike, clawing at the carpet with his bloodied fingers, under the bed.
This time, the silence isn't hungry. It's satisfied.
will starts entering the mindscape in his dreams on the same night that mike gets taken by vecna. this is probably the least confusing part of everything that happens after.

Summary
When Max is sent away for a month for advanced out of state hospital treatment, Lucas is left with way too much time and way too many feelings. So when he notices the unresolved tension simmering between Will and Mike, he decides to do something about it. But before he can even process what that truly entails, he’s already knee deep in secrets, feelings, and “friendships” that are a lot more complicated than he signed up for.
OR: What starts as a distraction from missing Max turns into the most complicated plan of Lucas’s life as he shifts from helping Will get over Mike to setting them up together (because he’s the bestest, most supportive friend ever, obviously!)

Summary
“I don’t think that it has to mean that you’re into guys,” Lucas says. His words are accompanied by a casual shrug, and said in the tone of someone who has clearly already given this subject some thought. Will doesn’t know what to do with that information. Jump from a building, maybe. “I mean, we’d all get flustered if Spider-Man carried us in his arms.”
Mike points to him enthusiastically. “Thank you, Lucas.”
Dustin looks between the two of them, his eyes narrowed.
“...Would we?”
“Sure,” Mike concludes. “He’s attractive. That’s not a weird thing to think.”
Will just barely resists the urge to bang his head against the table. He feels Dustin’s eyes glued to his burning face, and sinks even further down his chair.
In which Mike tells Spider-Man that he has a crush on his best friend, and Will jumps to some very wrong conclusions.

Summary
Will raises his eyebrows. “Is that why you came in here?” he repeats, looking back down at the blue flannel. “To ask me about the weather in Lenora?”
“Kind of,” Mike says, and then, “well no, not about the weather specifically. I just– I wanted to talk to you.”
“Oh.” And Will looks a lot more surprised at this, actually, than the idea that Mike might have just wanted to come to his room to make small talk about unseasonably frigid California winters. “Okay. What about?”
“Anything.” The response is embarrassingly immediate. “Everything. I don’t know. I missed you.”
Hawkins, 1986. The world is ending, there are too many people in Mike's house, and to top it all off, he and Will have some things to talk through.

Summary
Now that Will’s sitting and Mike’s the one that’s standing, he looks impossibly tall. Tall and lanky, and huge. He should sit back down, Will thinks, lay back down next to Will and stay in their own secluded little bubble.
“I really want to kiss you,” Mike says, and Will’s eyes snap back up to his so violently he thinks he hears his own neck crack with the force of it.
“Don’t,” Will croaks, before his brain has even processed the words. “Don’t say that.”
“Okay,” Mike says easily, still staring. And what the actual fuck is going on? Is Will hallucinating? Is the weed making him hallucinate? “So sausage and pepperoni?”
Will stares dumbly at him. “Um - yeah. Yes.”
“Cool,” Mike replies and then just turns around and leaves Will sitting dumbly in his own room.
or
Mike and Will get high on Jonathan’s weed and Mike has an amazing idea.

Summary
Will loved ordinary things, an uneventful existence was something he craved. Sadly, when Mike Wheeler walks into his life, Will’s easy going path snaps right in half. A passion he could never imagine overtaking his whole being.
It was too bad their friend groups hated each other and his sister had a huge crush on the musician. Off limits.
Fantastic.

Summary
Will Byers has a life now. A boyfriend, a tiny apartment in New York, and a very strict schedule of avoiding small-town Indiana at all costs. That is… until Max and Lucas drag him back home for their wedding.
Cue Carlton, Will’s confident, New York–everything (epilogue) boyfriend who thinks he’s ready for “small-town charm” but is really just here for the open bar. Cue Mike Wheeler, best friend, childhood crush, and still somehow the only person who knows how to make Will’s heart do complicated things.
One wedding, one awkward reunion, several embarrassing childhood memories, and a dangerously flammable mix of jealousy later, Will has to decide, keep pretending he’s happy, or admit that some things, some people, never really leave you.

Summary
At first, Mike was unsure how to approach him when he got like this. But they’ve been living together for months now, never further than five feet apart in their dorm beds, so Mike’s learned what works and what doesn’t.
It works when he wakes Will like this, with gentle hands and words, telling him he’s safe. It works when he climbs into Will’s warm bed, turning him on his side and curling up against his back, an arm over his waist and his cheek pressed against his shoulder. They lie together like that until Will’s hiccupping gasps soften into steady breaths, until Mike feels him go limp in his arms and he knows he’s fallen back asleep. It always works.
or: Will has nightmares and Mike is the only one who can console him. Not even Will's boyfriend can. Mike takes great pride in this fact.

Summary
“Do you want to go home?” He questions, leaning close and voice soft, and Will pauses, before nodding again. Mike lets out a breath, and lets his hand press against Will a little more firmly when he starts to sway in place again. “Okay, let’s go.”
Then he looks up and is met with smug faces, and Mike flushes when he realizes his own hypocrisy.
“I don’t talk like that,” Max recalls, voice high-pitched and overly girly and – Mike definitely doesn’t talk like that.
According to everyone in his life, Mike has a voice reserved just for Will. He tries to figure out what that says about him.

Summary
"I can't say it," Mike admits, because he feels the words twitching readily on his tongue, but they refuse to come out. Will is a lot braver than Mike, a whole lot. "It must've been really hard for you, to do it in front of everyone the way you did."
Or, Mike and Will go to Stacey's party together. It takes only a few drinks before the shame fades, giving way to Mike's real feelings. The feelings he's kept hidden from even himself for as long as he can remember.

Summary
"How could you use my own commitment issues against me like that?" The two keep dancing, Mike's hands resting on Will's waist and Will's arms placed over Mike's shoulders, staying close to keep up the act for his admirer.
"Maybe it's a sign you should actually work on them," Will chides. "You're gonna run out of people in the city if you keep going like this – I'm surprised you haven't propositioned me yet." Mike knows it's supposed to be a joke, but there's something in Will's voice that makes him think again.
When Mike doesn't respond, Will asks, "Why haven't you?" He wishes he could see the expression on Will's face right now. The question has always had a clear answer, but he doesn't know why it's making him pause now. He shakes himself out of it.
"I actually like having you in my life."
Mike realizes he's in love with Will. Will asks Mike to be the best man in his wedding. Chaos ensues.

As the rest of the song played, Mike realised he couldn’t do this anymore. He really couldn’t. His hands trembled as he reached for the glove compartment. There, he kept a gun.

Summary
“I should’ve been there for you,” Mike continued. “And I wasn’t.”
Doubt flickered across Will’s expression again– just for a second– but Mike saw it. Nothing got past him, and it hurt more than anything. Years of knowing someone did that to you. You learn their ins and outs and off little habits like the back of your hand– whether or not you know it. And Mike should’ve known. He should’ve seen the signs. He should’ve protected him. Defended him. Tried a little harder.
Mike leaned back against the railing and dragged a hand through his hair, letting out a long, shaky sigh. His eyes fell shut, but he could still feel Will watching him, quiet and intent, leaving unspoken questions he hadn’t asked yet. And at this rate, he never would.
“I guess I was just so… self-absorbed,” Mike admitted. “I couldn’t even see it. I just– I feel like an idiot, and–”
His voice wavered. “I’m sorry.”
He let his hands drop and looked up again, tentative. Will was staring right back at him as the moon did him no favors, leaving his expression unreadable in the dark.
“You don’t have to be sorry,” Will whispered softly. “And you are not an idiot. You’re not.”

Summary
“Looks like I bit you.” Will tilts his head to get a better look. All Mike can do is stare at him. His fluffy hair at the front, clumped pieces at the back where he’d slid his fingers in a mere few minutes before. His pretty green eyes that look hazel or even brown in this light, the dark circles he gets when he drinks framing them like intricate paintings. A satisfied, bloody smile.
Mike isn’t satisfied. He swallows thickly, choking down the words 'don’t you want more?'
Or: Will dresses as a vampire for a college halloween party, but Mike thinks his costume isn’t bloody enough. Will lets him fix it. Mike goes into a crisis.
