Summary
“I missed you,” he said, the words rough.
Mike caught Will’s face between his hands. “I know. I missed you too.”
“I want you,” Will added, catching his lip between his teeth the way he often did when he was feeling shy or uncertain.
“I know,” Mike repeated, voice even softer than before, if it was possible. His thumbs traced Will’s cheekbones, brushing the damp skin. “I want you too.”

Summary
"Mike’s not in love with Will. And he’s fine, really, he’s doing fine. He doesn't even miss Will that much. And as if to prove that, he tells himself he won't call, won't even text Will today. Or tomorrow. Or the day after that. And it totally doesn’t make him want to die or anything. See? Everything’s fine."
(but everything is not fine and mike has awful coping mechanisms and he's drowning)

Summary
"You… saved my life? On purpose?"
Diluc crosses his arms in a defensive manner, and Childe could swear there's the faintest hint of a blush on his cheeks.
Cute.
"Yes," Diluc admits, albeit reluctantly. "Would you have preferred I'd leave you to die?"

isn't this silly and aren't you beautiful? by sunsetozier

Summary
His stomach twists. Dustin is still talking to Stacey and looking content enough in their conversation, one that Mike doubts he'd be welcome to join. When he peers into the living room, he sees Max and Lucas and Will, all spinning each other around to the tune of whatever shitty song is playing and laughing loudly. Will is grinning, something wide and warm and beautifully happy, a grin that Mike hasn't seen directed his way in what feels like forever.
He looks back at Dustin, hands waving and eyes bright as he talks, Stacey smiling at him. At Max, gleeful. At Lucas, singing along to the music. At Will, head thrown back with a cackle.
It's a gut-wrenching feeling, realizing how unnecessary you've become to the people you love.
or: they go to stacey's party (and maybe kiss a little)

Summary
Mike is gone from his own body. He's in the corner looking at the back of Will's neck, he's in Indiana staring at John as he pulls on a t-shirt, he's in Jean's dorm and kissing her until it begins to feel good. He's a thousand different places and things, and not one of them is a good thing, not one of them is honest. And not one of them knows how to love Will Byers the easy way.

Summary
“And if you were-” Mike swallowed hard, the words ripping out of him, painful, slurred, and honest in a way he’d never let himself be sober, “I just wish you were a girl.”
Will froze.
Mike kept going, unable to stop himself now, like the admission opened the flood gates. “It’d be so much easier if you were a girl. Everything would make sense. No one would question anything. I wouldn’t have to feel like… like I’m wrong.”
--
Mike and Will have kept their relationship tightly locked behind closed doors. But when they decide to start a youtube channel with Lucas and Dustin, fans notice how close the two seem to be. And the spotlight on the relationship Mike isn't ready to be public deepens a crack between them.
