Summary
“Are you talking about…?” Will lets the question trail off, trusting Mike to know exactly what he means.
“Yeah,” Mike worries his bottom lip between his teeth. “Yeah. I’m talking about our conversation by the tower, Will.”
Hearing his name like that, deliberate, weighted, makes Will’s chest tighten. Mike only does that when something really matters. And this matters.
“I—” Will starts, then exhales in shaky relief when Mike cuts him off. Thank God. He has no idea what he was about to say. He’s barely holding himself together.
“Just let me finish, okay?” Mike says. Will could swear he shifts closer. “I mean… I can’t be more than your best friend. I just can’t, Will.”
The words hit like a punch, and before the ache in Will’s chest can fully set in, Mike rushes on.
“But I want to do things to you,” he says quietly, honestly, “that no best friends should ever want to do to each other.”
Or Mike is a repressed POS who wants Will without having to face what wanting him actually means.

Summary
previously named: flora in the greenhouse (fire in the attic)
“In our next life, we’ll get married.”
Will can’t help but laugh at the words.
“I didn’t know reincarnation existed in Catholicism.”
“It’s doesn’t." Mike whispers, tipsy starlight dancing in his eyes, "But I'd believe in anything for you, Will.”
And Will knows Mike is telling the truth. That’s what kills him the most.
or
When Mike is twelve, a new boy arrives at the orphanage. Will—bruised and broken—makes Mike wonder about the world beyond church windows and forgotten forestry. He makes Mike wonder about himself, who he is, who he wants to be. And it only leads to damnation.
When Mike is seventeen, he is sent away to The City. Away from Will. But when he returns five years later, Will isn’t the same boy that he’d left behind. He’s taller, broader, still so beautiful, but his eyes have changed. Once filled with innocent hazel light, they now hold a lifeless gaze that Mike doesn’t recognise.
As Mike dares to look closer, secrets begin to surface, and it falls on him to expose them. All whilst he tries to do what he returned to the orphanage for—to save William Byers.

Summary
“Hey…” he started, getting Will’s attention back immediately. Hazel, brightening eyes met chocolate sparkling irises. “If we end up, you know— not dying—, we should go to the arcade.”
Will tilted his head slightly, a frown in his forehead showing his confusion. “Okay? It’s been a while since we’ve gone there, though. Why the arcade? Has Lucas or Dustin mentioned—”
And Mike cut him, quickly, before his courage could turn into regret. “No, uh– I meant— just you and me.”
Will forgot how to breath. And even though he could swear his heart stopped working, it sent all of his blood straight to his cheeks, now tinted with a noticeable pink blush. “Oh.” it’s what he managed to say.
The signs… turned a snowball into an avalanche.
And just as Robin’s talk reminded him, Mike continued talking.
Continued rolling that snowball.
Or
After the events at MAC Z, everyone deals with new concerns. Specially Mike and Will.
Hopeful, lingering promises are made. New feelings are exposed. And a new life awaits for them to take the chance they're finally given.
Of not being scared.
Of being themselves.
Of being together.Bookmarked by wisedheart

Summary
“What if I drew you again? Would…you want that?”
Mike’s face lit up. “Yeah! I mean– that’d be great. I’d like that.”
Will smiled. “Cool.” He got up and crouched beside his backpack, unzipping it and pulling out his sketchbook.
“Wait– right now?” Mike asked.
“Yeah, why not?” Will said, grabbing a pencil from his desk.
“Okay. Yeah, sure.” Mike crossed the room and took a seat on the bed. “What do you want me to do?”
Will opened the book to an empty page. “Just sit there and look pretty and I’ll take care of the rest,” he teased.
The way Mike became a bit redder in the cheeks didn’t go unnoticed. “R- right.”

Or:
Will Byers can't stop drawing the walking work of art and masterpiece that is Mike Wheeler, which he is coping fine with. That is, until some unfortunate events reveal he isn't, like when Mike himself discovers this fact.

Summary
Another fucking dream about Will.
Mike presses the heels of his hands into his eyes until he sees stars.
Three years.
Three goddamn years since graduation, since separate colleges, since everything changed and nothing changed at all.
And still—every night—his traitor brain keeps building Will out of memory and longing until the wanting feels more solid than reality.
He lets his hands fall.
Stares at the ceiling.
Tries to breathe.
Fails.
