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.

Summary
Mike has spent months ignoring what he feels when he looks at Will. Months pretending that the way his heart races doesn't mean anything. That "best friends" is enough.
Then Will uses his powers to save them all, and Mike can't stop watching. Can't stop wanting.
When Mike walks downstairs and sees Will changing his shirt—sees the freckles scattered across his back like stars—everything he's been denying comes crashing down.
Will knows. He's always known. And he's done waiting.

Summary
“Awake?”
The voice cut through the quiet, rough with sleep. Mike jumped, heart slamming hard enough to make his chest ache, and nearly slammed the fridge shut on instinct. He turned too fast, breath catching painfully in his throat.
Will stood in the doorway that led into the kitchen, leaning against the frame with his arms crossed loosely over his chest. His hair stuck up at odd angles, dark and unruly, and his eyes were heavy-lidded, unfocused in that half-awake way that made him look younger somehow. Smaller. Like the boy who used to fall asleep on Mike’s shoulder during movie nights without thinking twice.
For a second, Mike forgot how to breathe.
[...]
Unfair that Will could look like that, rumpled and real and painfully familiar, and still make something twist low and sharp inside Mike. Unfair that the sight of him awake at night stirred relief and guilt in equal measure. Unfair that his brain betrayed him with thoughts that felt too close, too intimate, skirting a line he refused to acknowledge.
He swallowed, forcing himself to look away, back into the fridge as if leftovers suddenly mattered more than the person who had quietly become the axis of his nights.“Couldn’t sleep.”

Summary
It’s winter in Hawkins, and Mike and Will aren’t speaking anymore. Living in Mike’s house, Will tries to be invisible, spending most of his time in the basement.
Then the power goes out — and if there’s one thing he dreads more than facing Mike, it’s the cold.
or
Seven nights in which Mike and Will have to sleep in the same bed, even though they’re barely friends anymore.

Summary
Robin leaned closer, voice gentle. “All I’m saying is, it’s okay to like him. And it’s also extremely, painfully obvious.”
Will froze. “…to who?”
Robin’s grin stretched slow and wicked. “Only to me. Because I understand. He doesn’t know, don’t worry. Because that boy? Dense. Like, heroically dense. Historically dense. Scientists are going to study him.”
Will huffed, cheeks burning. Will’s eyes darted involuntarily to the centre of the room. Max and El were squished together on an armchair. Mike was sprawled on the carpet with Dustin and Lucas, waving his arms around dramatically as he argued about which Star Wars film was objectively the best. His hair was a mess. His cheeks were flushed. He was smiling.
And Will felt that stupid expanding warmth in his chest that he couldn’t get rid of no matter how hard he tried.
💕💕💕💕
Post-Vecna, Will and Robin continue to bond. Robin knows Will likes Mike. Mike thinks Will likes Robin.
One jealousy spiral, several misunderstandings, and a lot of pining later… they finally kiss.
