Summary
“Girls are just so hard to talk to! You wouldn’t get it, Will. You should count yourself lucky.”
“Are you insinuating that I’m lucky for being gay?” Will whispers the last two words.
Mike stays at full volume, “Kinda!” Then he slings an arm around Will’s shoulders and pulls him close, lowering his voice to a normal decibel. “Look, it’s simple math, Will. Boy plus boy equals endless conversation. Boy plus girl equals awkward eye contact and even more awkward silence.”Or: Will thinks Mike wants to date Jane so he orchestrates the perfect plan to get them together. Even though literally no one asked him to.

Summary
“My point,” Will says, mouth twitching at the corner for a second before he looks Mike in the eye, “is that you’re allowed to feel whatever you’re feeling. Or not feeling. Mike, you’re my best friend, okay? There’s nothing you could ever say to me that’s going to change that.”
Then again, maybe the timing is never going to be right, Mike realizes. But Will is looking at him steadily, maybe slightly nervously, and fiddling with Mike’s fingers with his own. Straightening them out one by one, curling Mike’s hand back into a fist, tapping his knuckles, twining their fingers together and releasing them. Nervous energy, Mike knows now. It’s humming between them both, making his skin spark everywhere they touch.
Will is giving him an opening.
So Mike gathers all his courage and says quietly, “You heard what I said to you.”
And Will nods.
--
When Will gets trapped in the void after they finally defeat Vecna, Mike can't help spilling everything he's kept from Will in the hopes that it helps Will wake up. Then Will does, and Mike has to deal with the consequences of his honesty as their friends and family figure out how to move forward.

Summary
"Are you guys dating?" Dustin blurts out. Mike and Will's heads snap to him, shared panicked expressions on their faces.
"Um, I—we, uh—"
"Why—why do you think that?" Will chokes out.
"Well, let's look at the evidence," Lucas holds up his hand and points to a finger when he says each Thing. "You kiss each other all the time, Will's been sitting on your lap every single time we hang out—"
"Wh—I—It's not every time." Mike argues weakly.
"We heard you call Will 'baby'," Will squeaks and avoids eye contact when Mike looks over at him. "And now you guys are going to sleep together. In the same bed. And you say it's normal."
"You gotta see it from our perspective, dude." Dustin adds once Lucas puts his hand down. Mike opens and closes his mouth a few times, looking like a fucking fish out of water. He kinda feels like one, too. Beside him, Will isn't much better. His face is fully red now, and he's just standing there, mouth open, like he'd just been busted for a crime.

Summary
He thinks of the way girls flock to Will, asking him out to Quidditch games and Hogsmeade, only getting more determined every time he gently turns them down. He does not need a love potion going missing or he’ll never sleep again out of fear for his best friend. What does Will smell in the potion? Mike leans forward, getting hit with another wave of it, old books and grass and florals and…
Merlin, what’s that smell?
It bothers him for the rest of the lesson. He doesn’t pay attention to the next potions brought out, or when she warns them about the potion they’ll be making next lesson, asking them to study up on it. It’s only when Will nudges him that he realizes the lesson is over, and he scrambles to shove his book and empty notepad into his bag and follow him. He’d planned to ask Will to hang out during their free period, but he’s too distracted, stopping in his tracks when he hears him rambling excitedly to Lucas and Max in front of him.
or;
mike wheeler is oblivious to his feelings until one whiff of amortentia forces him to reevaluate himself and what - who - he wants.
