Summary
When Will presents as an omega, Mike's protective instincts kick into overdrive. Which is normal. Alphas protect their pack. That's just biology.
Except Mike can't stop thinking about Will. Can't stop noticing everything about him. Can't stop wanting to be near him constantly.
That's... probably not normal.
Or: Mike is oblivious, Will has been pining for years, and everyone's just waiting for Mike to figure it out.

But I know, if the world turned upside down / Baby, I know you'd always be around
“Mike?”
It’s a whisper, but it’s filled with something so earnest, so true, that it strikes through Mike’s very core. Rips apart at his chest, with the familiarity of it. The way his name sounds in this younger Will’s throat, soft and gentle and so, so relieved.
“Will,” Mike says back, matching his whisper. “Hey, Will, it’s me. Mike.”
“But—” Will frowns. He’s so unsure, Mike wants to cry for him. “You’re so tall.”
-------
Or, when Will is possessed by Vecna and trapped in his own mind, Mike is the only one who can save him.

Summary
“I feel him everywhere Mike. You have to let go. You have to. I’ll infect you. I’m rotting. I’m rotting, Mike.” Will sobs. Mike shakes his head, pulls away from the hug just enough to hold Will’s face in his large, warm hands. His eyes are red and Will doesn’t know if it’s from the cold or worry.
“No. You’re not rotten. You won’t infect me.” Mike insists.
“I will. I’ve always been rotten. That’s why the demogorgons took to me when he basically fucked them into me. I will infect you too.” Will doesn’t sugar coat his words, he knows the truth. He'd seen it in his trance: the disgust in Mike’s eyes, the light leaving Mike’s eyes. Knows Vecna chose him because he was weak, small, and sinful. Will thinks he can feel it spreading to Mike. If Mike’s warmth can spread to him, then why won’t Will’s sin spread to him?

Summary
The day that Mike Wheeler presented as a prime alpha was also the day that everything changed for him and Will.
OR
Will and Mike make a promise to each other to never abandon each other no matter who they present as and what happens. But when Mike presents as an alpha, he apparently does everything in his power to go against that promise.
Everyone says it's for Will's protection. Mostly Mike.

Summary
“You’re weirdly good at this,” Richie said at one point, taking his rent with a grin. “Like… responsible good. Kinda hot.”
Will’s brain stalled. He’d never been called that.
Mike choked, eyes staying on the bills in his hands. “Can you not flirt with my—”
He stopped himself so abruptly it made Will’s stomach twist.
With his what?
OR
Will Byers has spent years being quiet—about his feelings, about what he wants, about who he’s allowed to be.
Richie Tozier has never been quiet about anything in his life.
Over Christmas break, Will begins to realize that maybe what he needs isn’t someone careful, or hesitant, or afraid of being seen—but someone who chooses him loudly.
