Summary
“So, I’ve been thinking," Mike throws his head back into the sofa’s head rest. “You know how I talk about girls all the time?”
The pencil in Will’s hand freezes for just a moment, something Mike wouldn’t have been able to tell at all if he wasn’t staring right at Will’s hands to avoid his gaze. “So?”
“Well, I’ve been thinking, right?”
Will looks up, but Mike isn’t looking back at him. He’s picking at a loose thread on the couch cushion. “What, about girls?”
“No,” Mike shakes his head, “about boys."
Will nearly chokes on his tongue. “You’ve been thinking about boys?”
or, mike conducts an uncomfortably elaborate semester-long personal inquiry project on how to be a better straight ally to his gay best friend. for educational reasons only. obviously

Summary
He flipped open the yearbook and slid it across the table.
"Every junior and senior at Hawkins High is in this book. I need you to go through the photos and find out which guys could be interested in Will."
El stared at him. "You want me to look into people's heads to find out if they are gay?"
His face lit up. "Yes! Exactly. I knew you'd understand."
"Mike. I can not do that." El frowned at him, looking genuinely let down.
Mike's smile dropped. "What? Why not?"
Determined that Will deserves someone who loves him, Mike enlists El to use her powers to scan the Hawkins High yearbook and identify every gay guy in school. She gives him three names. Mike gives himself a week to find Will the perfect boyfriend.

I Was Made For Lovin' You, Baby (You Were Made For Lovin' Me) by occasionalpisser
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)

Summary
Halting his blubbing, Mike blinks his eyes back open and allows for his vision to adjust to the unreasonably bright light that’s still surrounding him. His head lolls to the side, vision still coming in and out of focus as he tries to take in the image in front of him, blocking out all of his other senses.
Mike squints and… Oh.
Okay—why is God the dictionary definition of the word 'gorgeous'?
OR: Upon getting his wisdom teeth removed, Mike Wheeler doesn't remember much of anything—including Will Byers, and the fact that they're married to each other. He still feels all the love and adoration he has for the man, though... so he can't be blamed if it all comes spilling out of him in one way or another.

“What if… What if you didn’t say it?”
Mike frowns. “I already don’t say it. That’s kind of the whole problem.”
“No. I mean, what if you didn’t have to say it,” Will explains, “You know how we both learned Morse Code back in fifth grade after Mrs. Jenkins sat us on opposite sides of the classroom?”
“Yeah but that would take forever to tap out in Morse Code,” Mike says, scrunching his nose.
“Then you can just shorten it. Just three taps. Like this.” Will leans forward, patting Mike’s knee three times before pulling back again with a bright smile. “See? Quick and easy and, more importantly, no awkward words required.”
Or: Mike Wheeler learns all the alternative ways one can say I love you

I Won't Say It if You Won't Say It First by delusionalhemlock

Summary
Will finally makes eye contact with him again, a smile playing on his lips. Mike’s eyes dart down to them for a split second, then back up. “Okay.”
“Yeah?”
“Yeah. I mean, whatever, right? We live together, for God’s sake, and we’ve known each other forever. Who cares if we have to hold hands for three days, too?”
“Exactly,” Mike says too quickly. As stupid as Robin’s plan had sounded when she’d proposed it, now that things were falling into place he found himself eager to get it underway. Treat Will like royalty. Easy.***
Three whole days Will’s heart hasn’t known whether to swell or break or rupture like his appendix. But he’s being discharged tomorrow, so it won’t be an issue for much longer, so for now he just pretends that the hand on his arm wants to be there. Because Will Byers-Hopper has never been chosen on purpose, and until tomorrow, he can pretend that this arrangement didn’t come about under duress.
OR:
New York City, October, 1989. Things have been better since Will moved away from Hawkins and Mike followed him. Until Will's appendix bursts and, in the chaos of getting him to the hospital and finding a medical proxy, Mike accidentally tells the doctors he's his boyfriend.

Summary
The screaming is unusual.
Will’s nightmares rarely announce themselves like this. They usually arrive quietly, in the form of a locked jaw, trembling limbs, a desperate, instinctive commitment to silence. His fear is usually swallowed and choked back, even in slumber.
———————
Or, Will starts screaming in the night. Of course, Mike is there to comfort and protect him. But that’s just friendship… right?
———————
This is my love letter to Byler. Who in my heart end up together no matter what. It’s an exploration of genuine emotion, care, shared trauma and love in a friendship and how that can develop into something more. Something they’ve both waited a long time for.

Summary
“If I wouldn't like it. Don’t people say try it before you say you don’t like it?” Mike looks at him again; his eyebrows raised with a small grin on his face.
“Um… Yeah, I guess. Where is this coming from?” Will asks, turning his body to fully face Mike.
He shrugs.
“Just been thinking about it.”
“About kissing guys?” Will fires the question quickly, wanting to get to the bottom of this.
“No.”
Will tilts his head.
“Okay, then what were you thinking about?” Will laughs dryly, Mike pulling his lips into his mouth.
“Well… about trying it, but not like… guys.” Mikes face starts to flush.
“Okay, then what? A specific guy?” Will laughs, letting one leg stretch over the couch cushions, his other still held to his chest.
“You could say that.” Mike whispers, his eyes darting over Will’s face.

Mike becomes extremely affectionate with Will out of nowhere aka domestic Mike and Will.

Summary
Mike stares at Will, his brilliant, dazzling best friend – and there’s no surprise, none at all – but he doesn’t expect the way seeing it makes him feel. There’s the crack of a dead Demogorgon hitting the ground, Will’s eyes rolling back as he met Mike’s gaze, dragging his sleeve across his bloody nose, and then there’s this. It’s peaceful, just the two of them, here in this moment. No monsters, no fire, no lives at stake, only a shared apartment and Will’s magic.
“Will,” he whispers. Wonderstruck.
Three years after the defeat of Vecna, Mike finds out that Will’s still a sorcerer. They talk about magic, and they talk about them.

promise me you'll be there after, aftercare by miwiheroes

Summary
What did he think, really?
What did he hope to find in the arms of a Mike Wheeler who's suddenly comfortable enough to go to gay bars in New York? That he was just going to have sex with his first love, who's gotten even prettier than he was six years ago and realise, oh, actually yeah I'm definitely over you?
Yes. Yes, that was what he'd hoped. That's exactly why he'd taken Mike up on the offer, goddammit.
But he can't face palm hard enough to leave a mark right now, because as he mentioned before, Mike is naked, lying on top of him, gently kissing up and down his neck, still warm and sticky inside him. He can't face palm, because he was wrong, and being wrong has never felt so right.
aka after the best hook up he's ever had, will tries to convince himself that mike is still a jerk. mike proves him wrong with aftercare and a surprising confession

Summary
He never stopped thinking about it. The possession thing.
No, in fact, since it happened he thinks about it more every day. His eyes burn holes into Will, imagining him press his limbs into Mike. Closer, closer until there's no space between them. Until Will can feel what Mike feels. Until he isn't sure where Mike ends and Will begins.
In his peripheral, the kitchen light flickers. He wonders if Will thinks about it too.
Or; Mike wants Will to possess him again, and Will wants Mike to love himself

Summary
Mike's jaw drops and he sits up to face where Will (assumedly) is, “You’re haunting me?”
“I guess?” Mike can imagine Will looking off to the side, scratching his cheek self-consciously.
He places his hands on Will’s shoulders, turning the other to look at him. He definitely looks stupid – his eyes closed while simultaneously trying to stare at Will intently.
“So you’ve been following me around this whole year?”
“Um. Yes?”
He groans, pressing the heels of his palms to his eyes. “Holy shit.”
“Holy shit.” Will echoes.
Or; Mike struggles with wanting things he can never have - like Will back alive. Even after he gets it, he still wants more.

Summary
The raging storm would ordinarily be uncharacteristic of spring, but the world’s on the verge of collapse, so Will lets it slide. But it’s impossible to close his eyes and block out the crackling across the dark sky, a parallel to the deafening split of Hawkins.
His headphones blare into his ears to muffle the storm, and he pauses the scratching of his pencil across the page when he notices the minute hand on the clock tick over to twelve.
Nothing changes. Vecna’s still alive and waiting to take everything for himself. On every birthday for the last four years, Will’s wondered if it would be his last. This year is no different.
Five times Will Byers makes a birthday wish, and the one time it comes true.

Summary
“You’re not boning, though, right?” he says, suddenly. He doesn’t know why he feels such an urge to bring it up again, as if the thought of Mike boning is not something that is CODE RED #1 at the top of Will's list of things to absolutely never think about. But also. Look–
“What? No, of course I’m not boning,” Mike splutters, turning a violent shade of scarlet, “how would I even hide that from you, I’m with you all the time–”
And then he falls silent, so fast that Will gets tonal whiplash from how fast Mike just went from saying boning over and over again to just clamping his mouth shut and staring at the wall across from them.
Will's trying his hardest to make it through fall semester in one piece. Unfortunately for his degree, he's being haunted by maybe-feelings for his best friend (metaphorically), and also a maybe-ghost with rather abysmal fashion sense (literally).

Summary
“I mean, obviously I’m gonna do it. I always do it. But I probably need a photo or reference, and my…” Will trails off and sighs, gaze landing on the dusty box sitting on top of his desk. Mike’s eyes naturally follow, looking a little lost. “My camera’s broken. So I guess I’ll be drawing my figurines again—”
“I could help you,” Mike interrupts.
And there it is. This is why Will should stop complaining out loud.
aka mike offers to be will's reference, they talk about mike's self-esteem issues, and more shenanigans with paint ensue
