Summary
Dustin hums in agreement while he swallows his bite. “It’s like, against his factory settings to say no to you. What do you need him to do, model for you or something?”
Will shoves his face back into his hands. “I’m going to fail.”
Max rolls her eyes. “You’re not going to fail, you’re going to paint Mike.”
Will lifts his head up from his hands, eyes wide, and shakes his head. “You don’t understand.” He pleads with his awful, awful friends, voice low. “He’s been, he’s using my-he came out of my bathroom in just a towel last night.”
--
Studio art major Will Byers has a study of the human body due before the semester ends, is in desperate need for a model, and has a huge, life-altering, heart wrenching crush on his best friend.
Enter: Mike Wheeler, his broken shower, and his collection of plaid-print boxers.

Summary
Mike took a sip of his own cocoa, eyes drifting to the window. “It’s really coming down, huh? Kinda nice.”
Will looked at him instead of the snow.
“Yeah,” he whispered. “It really is.”
The living room glowed with soft Christmas lights, snow falling silently outside, Mike’s hand warm over Will’s toes. And for a moment, Will let himself imagine that this was how it would always be.
💕💕💕💕
Post-Season 5. With Henry gone and Hawkins finally safe, Will learns how to love winter again - and maybe how to love Mike Wheeler out loud.
A soft, snowy Christmas Byler fic full of cocoa, sketching, gentle touches, healing, and two boys slowly realising they’ve always been each other’s home.

Summary
Mike and Will like each other. As in—they like like each other.
And they really need to get their act together—and soon, because Holly thinks that everybody in the Party is one more flirty (and adorable) moment away from strangling her big brother.
But that’s okay.
Because Holly’s got an idea.
Or:
Holly Wheeler's mistletoe matchmaking extravaganza!

Summary
The Byers’ new house is closer to Mike’s.
This is a Development.
Mike sees Will on the weekends. Mike sees Will on occasional school nights. Mike sees Will like he’s living with them again, stuffed into Mike’s back pocket, comfortably, reliably close.
Turns out, this is a problem.
.
or: Will is lovely, and Mike is in love. Maybe. Probably. Definitely.

Summary
"So you- you haven't, like. Kissed anyone, then?" Mike asks, fully aware that he should probably just quit while he's ahead but needing to know, suddenly, if Will has any sort of romantic entanglements that he's neglected to tell Mike about. He's not sure why, but there's something in his gut that demands to know, has some sort of sudden need to know if Will has kissed anyone that's not him.
If Will has kissed anyone that's not-
Wait, what?
or: Mike is jealous of himself.
