Summary
In which Mike just doesn’t think it’s right that Will doesn’t get to experiment with a guy, but luckily Mike’s a guy, and a good friend, so. Featuring closet hookups, hickeys, really good cuddles in the midst of all the sexual experimentation, sneaking around, a canon-typical amount of boys crying, the Painting Lie!!!, conversations about feelings that don’t actually address any of the important feelings (until they do, and then ohh boy), and the happy ending that they goddamn deserved.
Takes place during the eighteen month time gap before they all graduate, then continues past the ending of the finale.

Summary
“You’re not thinking of anyone else when you make that fucking noise, are you?”
Mike makes another noise, unable to speak words.
“Mike. I asked you a question.”
“No… Just you."
“Good,” Will says. “Good boy.”
In an alternate universe, Will never goes to the Upside Down. He never grew up in Hawkins. And he was never childhood friends with Mike Wheeler.
One night at a club, he meets Mike, with his nerdy glasses and interesting stare, and they connect. Sparks fly. Butterflies swoop. Will has never felt this attracted to anyone.
But Mike isn't from Will's universe, but another where the Mind Flayer won and Will is his to control. And Mike has finally found a Will he can rewrite history with.

Summary
He was happy for Will. He was. He wanted Will to have someone. Someone who made him smile like that, even if it hurt to look at. Even if it made something ugly and sharp crawl around inside Mike’s chest.
Because this wasn’t about Mike.
This was about Will finally being honest. Being able to be himself.
And Mike was going to be okay with it.
He had to be.
💕💕💕💕
After Will comes out, Mike is completely, totally, absolutely fine about it.
Except for the part where he’s weirdly upset about Will having a crush on Lucas.
And the part where he can’t stop thinking about Will.
And the part where everything finally clicks.

Summary
Will burst into one of the most blinding, dazzling smiles Mike had ever seen. It wouldn't matter if they were on the darkest, cloudiest night in the middle of the ocean; Will was a beacon of light. Mike couldn't tell if there were actual stars in his eyes or if it was just a reflection, but it didn't matter. Will was too stunningly beautiful, and that look was too intense, and he had to look away as his stomach turned and his brain tried to come up with a generic response to whatever Dustin was saying on the radio. The past few weeks he had been desperately trying to convince himself that it was just his old crush rearing it's head. He had moved on from Will, really. They could be friends again without all the relationship drama that came between them in highschool. But sitting on the top of a hill on a cold November night he realized nothing had changed at all.
Fuck, he was still madly in love with Will Byers.
...
After graduating, both Mike and Will struggled to adjust to life after the Upside Down. It didn't help they had already drifted apart. But now, 8 years later, Mike finally reached out again, and the 2 struggle to rebuild their friendship while also hiding their romantic feelings for each other.Series
