Summary
“Take it off, Will,” Mike orders breathlessly.
Will decides to play dumb. He slightly tilts his head to the right, a confused expression forming on his face as if he doesn’t know what Mike is talking about.
“Take what off?”
Oh. So, it's going to be like that today. That's fine. Two can play this game.
“The necklace. Take it off. Right now,” Mike demands.
Mike has two problems:
1. Will has a boyfriend.
2. Will has a matching necklace with said boyfriend.Mike swears these two issues are totally not correlated.

Summary
“Shut up!” Mike says with a scowl. “I meant, like…I was just thinking…why don’t we just do it? Why don’t Will and I kiss?”
It’s as if you could hear a pin drop.
Lucas stares at Mike like he’s grown an extra head. Dustin and El exchange a meaningful look. Even Max, who just a moment ago had been happily poking fun at Mike, is seemingly at a loss for words.
Will is silent too, color rising to his cheeks. It’s one thing for Max to suggest it; it’s another entirely for Mike to double down. Mike, his best friend for as long as he can remember. Mike, who regardless of any newfound warmth could barely touch Will for an entire year. Mike, who is oblivious to the fact that Will is desperately in love with him.
Mike, who despite all that said Why don’t Will and I kiss as if it were the simplest thing in the world.
After his first semester of college ends, Will is more than happy to spend a relaxing New Year's Eve in Mike's basement with the rest of the Party. Things go off the rails, however, when Max and El ask everyone to join in on an interesting new tradition—a tradition which may or may not involve him and Mike sharing a kiss.

Summary
“Why? Why won’t you ever tell me what’s wrong with you?” Carlton’s voice is filled with frustration, and it sounds like nails on a chalkboard to Will.
What is wrong with him. It’s such a loaded question. Why does Will wake up screaming sometimes? Why can’t Will handle the cold? Why are there days when Carlton’s hands on him feel like being kept under water with no way up?
And why can’t Will tell Carlton the truth? How could Will possibly explain it without sounding insane? What is the human translation for being taken and kept in another dimension, violated, and possessed, only to then be violated yet again—
This part of him is something Will is never going to be able to share with anyone else. That nobody would understand.
Why won’t you tell me what’s wrong with you.
“Because you wouldn’t get it.” Will somehow manages to say it without gagging.
And then, Carlton goes in for the kill.
“Oh, but Mike does?”
OR
After leaving Hawkins to go to college in the great city of San Franscisco, Will finally finds someone who loves him. The only problem is that the only person in the world who knows him, is someone else.

Summary
Mike Wheeler is struck with the realization of what he wants in the Spring of 1990. A polaroid that rips his reality apart simply by featuring the face of his best friend. His best friend who's states away in NYU, who has no reason to return to Hawkins for the holidays since his parents moved to Montauk.
Luckily, Max has an idea, simply go to NYU, profess, win the boy. No mess, no drama, clean.
Except it's Mike Wheeler, and nothing has ever been that simple.
Not when there's an unexpected obstacle that a man far better than Mike may have planned for.AKA: Mike Wheeler is a disaster who underestimates his influence.

Summary
“... Will.”
“Okay, sure, yeah. What about him?”
“I’m a bad friend.” Mike admitted, breathing it out like a vomited confession, like something he was desperate to be rid of.
“Did something happen?” Steve asked.
“Yes.” He paused. “Well, no. It’s— it’s more like… more like… he got a boyfriend.” Mike huffed out a breath.
“I know.” Steve agreed slowly, brows raised. “Carlton. Will, Robin and I met up a while back and he introduced us. Seems like a good kid. What about him?”
Mike felt like a fucking idiot.
Of course Steve didn’t get it. Why would Steve get it?
“I… I just…” How was Mike even meant to begin to talk about this? “It’s driving me crazy, man. I hate the guy.”
OR -
Mike spirals about his feelings, gets in his car, and somehow ends up going to Steve Harrington for help. He gets a much-needed pep talk and finally goes after what he wants.

Summary
Max arches a brow. “Carlton, though? You two are dating and you don’t even kiss? Is it just a preference thing?”
Will sighs, resigned. He drops his hands. “Okay. Honestly?” He hesitates, then shrugs. “He was a bad kisser. And I just… couldn’t get excited around him. At all.”
The reaction is immediate and merciless. Dustin makes a dramatic gagging noise. El gasps like she’s been handed gossip gold. Lucas high-fives Max, shaking her hand in his.
Mike doesn’t say anything. He just watches Will, watches the way he shrugs it off, the way he laughs a little too loud, the way his ears go red.
Or, Will's new boyfriend is a bad kisser. Mike thinks it's a crime that no one has kissed Will properly. He's on a goal to change that, Carlton be damned.

In a Normal Life, I Want To by hurricanelilies (porridgemilk)
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)
11 Dec 2025
Tags
Summary
Sometimes, even this close, always in the same space, Mike feels like there’s a want inside him that aches so much, like Will is somehow going to drift away if he doesn’t reach out and latch onto him. He’s clingy, he’s gross, and the world has already ended and somehow pieced itself back together.
Maybe Mike deserves to be clingy and gross and a little, a lot, in love.
--
Or, Mike and Will have their first kiss during the end of the world. Kissing a second time, when everything is finally back to normal, takes a lot more courage.

Summary
Now, in the silent aftermath of the massacre, it’s already hard to believe that Will did what he just did. He can’t imagine that anything about this development is good news to Joyce, who has been fighting tooth and nail to keep Will uninvolved since they were thirteen years old. No such luck. The Upside Down clings to Will like a moth drawn to a light, tugging and lapping at his heels with whispers of the impossible. Born to be steeped in magic. Mike could have warned Joyce years ago. Will Byers isn’t the kind of person that can ever be fully walked away from.
[or, following the events at the MAC-Z, Mike and Will have some things to discuss.]

Jun-tae struggles with a new type of gravitational pull. // [...] Hyun-tak held his face gently, his fingers curled under his chin, while he swiped his thumb across his lips. The interaction lasted less than two whole seconds, and Hyun-tak was already looking away, casually licking his thumb clean as if it was the most normal thing in the world.

Summary
This is something that, probably, someone with more objectivity on the situation than Mike would categorize as not normal. Personally, though, Mike isn’t all that pressed. Not when it’s so undeniably pleasant. He’s fine being abnormal about Will if it means not ruining this for himself.
After a few minutes, Will props himself up on one elbow, looking at Mike with sudden urgency. “Mike,” he says, blinking slowly at him, and Mike pauses the show again, arching an eyebrow at him.
“Yes?”
Will grins, all crooked and boyish and brilliant in the soft glow of the living room lamplight. “Let’s make out.”the one where they're exes who still kiss sometimes, but not, like, in a weird way.

Summary
"Daniel came in this afternoon," Will starts, looking up at the painting of the party so he doesn't have to look in Mike's dark eyes.
"I remember," Mike interrupts in agitation. "I wish he'd try to burn the place down just so I could ban him."
"Right.." Will continues, with a great amount of hesitancy now. "Well, he asked me on a date. A movie date, tomorrow night, and we're going to get dinner. But I didn't think that was safe, so he suggested we bring someone so we look like a friend group, but it would have to be someone we trusted and I trust you, so I guess I'm asking if you'll go on a date with me?"
Will pauses his rambling, breathing unevenly and waiting on Mike's answer. The other boy sits up slowly, keeping his back to Will and looking contemplative, if a bit unreadable.
This was his chance for a real relationship, a chance for all those teen firsts he'd never had, and he knows he can like Danny. He's not going to blow his chance.
/OR/ Will gets asked out on a date, and asks Mike to come along to make it less obviously a date to outside people. Ft. Dramatic 17 year olds, rain fight parallels, jealous Mike Wheeler, and unrequited affection (but its not between byler)

Summary
“Excuse me? Are you going to order anytime soon?”
Will tilts his head back down, furrowing his brow. “What?”
Mike sighs. “Your order? You’re in a coffee shop, remember?” He taps the bell near his hand several times to punctuate his point, loud dings ringing through the icy air. “You have to order something, or else I’m legally obligated to kick you out.”
Or: It's the end of the world, and Mike and Will end up in a coffee shop.
