Summary
“I’m glad they moved me closer to the art block,” Mike mentions after a second, and Will blinks at him. “It’ll be easier to bother you, now.”
Will clicks his teeth. “Incredibly professional,” he notes, and Mike’s smile widens. Sometimes, Will’s heart feels moments from exploding, like a firework someone had poured gasoline onto and threw in a fire.
“I’m the pinnacle of professional,” Mike decides, oblivious to Will’s cardiovascular issues.
Between being a teacher in a school full of chaos, being in love with his best friend and coworker of several years, and Lucas' worst idea yet, Will tries his best to make it through another school year.

Summary
“Dude, you have to kiss me,” Mike attempts to reason with Will, holding his hands out in front of him and wearing his most convincing grin, “it’s supposed to show trust. We can’t make an effective promise without it.”
“Are you sure this is legit?” Will tilts his head, looking skeptical. “I’m pretty sure that no spit swear should work like this.”
“Of course I’m sure.” Mike tries to look as confident as possible. “The kiss is what seals the deal. That’s why they call it the spit swap spit swear. We need to try it.”
When Dustin makes up a new variant of the famous spit swear as a joke, Mike tests its effectiveness with Will a series of times, for the experiment and nothing more. As anyone would have expected, it starts to seriously blur the lines in Will and Mike’s friendship.

mike is so oblivious for such a long time
references to the finn wolfhard "i'm not gay, that's a, that's a, that's a" and the "mike is too upset to answer back." might be another one but i forgot it -

Summary
And – that feels awfully revealing, so he adds, “I like the suit.”
Mike brightens, and he’s just a step or two away, now, and Will could reach out and touch him. “I’m glad,” he says, “I was – I was hoping you would.”
“Oh.” Will really wants to kiss him. “Well, I do.”
Mike beams. “Good.”
“Good,” Will echoes, feeling at a loss for what to say, but it doesn’t seem to matter when Mike’s grin only widens, and then his hands are on Will again, like they always seem to be, lately, and Will has no protests when they’re only a few inches away from each other.
Mike has been acting strange, and, if Will didn't know any better, he'd almost think Mike was flirting with him.
Thankfully, he knows better.

Summary
“What? No! I mean — I just meant—“ said Mike, struggling with the words, “I… I mean… who is it?” he turned back to Hugo, “Can we know their name? It might be somebody we know already.”
Will frowned, “I hope it’s not,” he said, “I don’t like anybody we know enough to marry them — except our friends, obviously, but that’s different.”
Hugo, if it was even possible, looked somehow immensely more excited by these words, “I can’t tell you who it is,” he giggled, “That’s a really big spoiler.”
Mike Wheeler’s son arrives in Hawkins with no explanation, snapped back in time entirely by accident — and he latches on to none other than Will Byers. If only they all knew why.

Summary
A small smile pulls at the corner of the nurse’s lips as she writes. “Ah, you must be the boyfriend.”
Will stares at her, frozen. Maybe he misheard her. Maybe she said boy friend, as in, a boy who is a friend. Maybe— “What?”
“He hasn’t stopped talking about you. I think all the nurses on the ward know your name by now,” she says, smile turning into a grin as she looks up from the clipboard. “He’s a chatty one, isn’t he?”
Being in a secret relationship is surprisingly easy, until Mike gets his wisdom teeth removed.

Summary
“Whoa ,” Mike says, voice hoarse and writhed with sleep, grasping the arm of Will’s sweater with impressive force, in his dream-like quality. Will doesn’t remember when he began slipping off the side of the roof. “Will, — Will,” Mike murmurs, and Will melts at the sheer familiarity of his name on Mike’s mouth, “come inside. You’ll hurt yourself.”
His heels won't move from where they’ve dug into the roof, despite Mike’s persistent tugging. All at once, he’s washed over with guilt. He shouldn’t be here. He’ll hurt him.
“Please,” Mike adds, the single syllable addictive and slow, like honey.
It’s embarrassing how fast Will folds.
Will wakes from a nightmare on the other side of town. He finds going home is easier said than done.

Summary
Mike looks up at Will excitedly. “So?”
Will clicks his tongue. “Oh, Mike, we can’t do that. I don’t wanna single the poor guy out just because he knows about us.”
“Will—”
“Obviously, it’d be way better to tell everyone individually and ask them to keep it a secret so we can see how long it takes for them to realize that they all know.”
Mike blinks, silent for a moment. Then he’s cupping Will’s cheeks. “Oh my god, I love you so much.”

@sunsetozier on Twitter: "secret relationship byler except they actually tell the whole party but they tell them all individually and tell each of them that they really just wanna keep it a secret for now 'so if you can help cover for us it'd be cool' just to see how long it takes for everyone to catch on"

Summary
Mike looks up, eyes wide. His ears turn a brilliant shade of red. “Oh. I was, um– I was talking to…” Mike takes a long pause, then screws his eyes shut and tips his head back. He lets out a mumbled string of words that Will doesn’t catch.
“Huh?”
“I said,” Mike says, speaking louder and opening his eyes, “hisnameisWill.”
For a long, long moment, it’s completely silent. The bunny’s nose twitches. Will stares at Mike, uncomprehending, and Mike stares back at him, his jaw clenched. Somewhere outside, the wail of an ambulance nears and then fades.
“Um…” Now it’s Will’s turn to trail off. He has no idea how to respond to that. He has no idea how to even process that. “You named your rabbit… Will?”
Or: the appropriate response to discovering that your estranged childhood best friend named his depression pet after you.

Summary
Will stirred sleepily to the sound of voices and a heavy weight beside him.
“Whazup?” he mumbled, lifting his head off the pillow and blinking in the darkness.
“Shhh, it’s fine,” replied Mike’s soft voice, breaking through the stillness that had followed Will’s muffled question, “I’ve got this one. You can go back to sleep.”
Mike and Will take turns staying up with Holly, who has begun to have nightmares about the monsters in Hawkins. Things take a curiously domestic turn.

Summary
He blinks slowly, dimly aware of Mike’s eyes tracing his face. “S-sorry,” he stammers.
“It’s okay,” Mike says. He laughs a bit. “You are so drunk. I think you had, like, ten beers.”
Will laughs too, leaning close, but not enough to touch. “‘S your fault.”
Mike scoffs. “My fault!”
Grinning, Will nods, content to just sit close. Mike’s breath skitters across Will’s face and it’s enough. More than enough.
or, the summer before senior year ft. mike and will taking care of each other, bad attempts at flirting, obliviousness, and the perils of being hungover.

Summary
As soon as he settles back against his headboard, he knows exactly what he's about to do, and he should really feel bad about it.
But he doesn't.
Because who sends their own boyfriend a 'You up?' text at two in the fucking morning? That boyfriend being Will fucking Byers, no less. The kindest, smartest, sweetest, most talented human on this planet.
And all his boyfriend wants from him is to fuck at two in the morning?
He's not going to let Will think that's what he deserves. But he also doesn't want to plant a seed of resentment between them by essentially making an effort to break them up.
Mike logs into his laptop and types the website into the address bar: www.etsy.com
And then, when the site loads, he types into the search bar: etsy witches
Or, Mike hires an Etsy Witch to break up Will and his boyfriend.

Summary
He could feel his ribs pull outwards, a rush of agonising air running into his lungs, torturing his muscles as it shuttered back out.
A dead man doesn’t breathe.
Somehow, in this ocean of pain, he was still living.
-
Or, Sang-woo manages to survive his own attempt to sacrifice himself for Gi-hun, and instead of finishing him off, the Frontman offers him a job as a Triangle Guard. He accepts, and amidst his attempts to forget his long gone past, someone he knew, all too well, renters the games years later.
Determined to get Gi-hun out alive a second time, he must figure out how to navigate getting his trust, getting him away from the Frontman, who’s much too close, and how to not get caught cheating.

Summary
"He barely even recognizes he’s falling, with how slow everything feels, as if time has stretched to make him watch. Gi-hun isn’t flying. He isn’t floating, he’s just falling, body limp, arms open, now unable to see the top of the platform he descended from.
He was Seong Gi-hun of Ssangmun-dong.
Gi-hun was human.
And humans die.
Gi-hun was dead.
But he wasn’t dead."SQUID GAME 03x06 --- SPOILERS!!
When Gi-hun's life comes to an end by means of altruistic suicide, he is greeted by the very man whose actions he'd begun to mirror, whose presence haunted every ounce of blood in his body, and every elongated corridor. The man he'd lost and loved for unrelentless decades is the same man holding his hands as he awakens.

Summary
And then he stops. Scrolls back up.
There it is, in the bottom left hand corner with that little heart indicating a like– Will’s profile picture.
And this– well, this is enough to capture Mike’s long-fried attention span once more.
When Will likes an Instagram Reel about being in a "gut-wrenching situationship", Mike becomes determined to find the guy responsible for breaking his best friend's heart. This is not an overreaction at all.
...OK, maybe just a little.

Summary
"You can get just about anything with a pretty face like this," he turned his head and stroked his jaw then gave him a once over, "I'm sure you can relate."
Will opened his mouth to reply but was interrupted. "Will!" Mike called from across the clearing. His brows were furrowed and he looked at him expectantly.
Richie gave him a knowing look. "Go on, be a good boy. Sit." He taunted.
Will took another swig of his drink and instead of taking his former seat he plopped down on Richie's log. Richie didn't hide his amusement. "Yeah, I like this better."
~~~~
Mike knew two things for certain. One; he had to make it out of this summer alive. Two; he was going to have to lie.
~~~~
The party spends the summer after graduation at summer camp. A mystery. Hidden treasure. A discovery. A strange boy from Maine. Will thought he had all the answers inside of him. It turns out that was only a piece of the puzzle.
