Summary
“I just…I wanted to say sorry. For—for how I acted, because, I was just—I was such a dick. And I was so oblivious and I hurt you, and you didn’t deserve any of that and I’m sorry.”
Will met his eyes, wanting to offer him comfort. He didn’t want Mike to beat himself up over this.
“And…” Mike began again, reluctantly. “I wanted to know if—“ His eyes met Will’s once again and he sighed through his nose. “I wanted to know if you—y’know—if all of it was true?”
“What do you mean?” Will knew fully well what Mike meant. If it was true that he didn’t like girls. Will should’ve expected that to be brought up again, when he had hidden the truth behind him so he could hand Mike something prettier, Mike was bound to have caught on, but Will was still convincing himself that Mike didn’t actually know.
Mike swallowed, his tongue ran in between his lips once again, “That you…” pursing his mouth shut so to stop himself from inquiring any further. He sighed. “I don’t know.” Mike shook his head, resting his hands on the bars. “I shouldn’t’ve said anything. Sorry.”
_Will and Mike make time for something else during the final episode *kissy noises* more byler based than plot based

Summary
The Byers’ new house is closer to Mike’s.
This is a Development.
Mike sees Will on the weekends. Mike sees Will on occasional school nights. Mike sees Will like he’s living with them again, stuffed into Mike’s back pocket, comfortably, reliably close.
Turns out, this is a problem.
.
or: Will is lovely, and Mike is in love. Maybe. Probably. Definitely.

Summary
“Look,” Will says, turning fully on the pallet to face Mike, one hand reaching down for the rough wood to find purchase and ground him. “Do you-, do you want to show me. Like-, like want to practice?”
Mike’s eyes widen but he doesn't say anything.
“Sorry, stupid idea, just wanted to help.” Will is trying to gather the words back up from the air between them and into his mouth.
“I never thought it was stupid.” Mike says, so quietly it's not much more than an exhale. “I suggested it first.” He adds, like it's a secret.
Will grips the pallet harder. “Show me. I really do want to help.”
Mike bites his lip a sec, and Will thinks he's going to say no, but then Mike's darting forward and pressing his lips firm and quick against Will’s. It's barely a kiss. Not romantic. Not enough to leave a scar. Will bleeds anyway.

Or: Mike has been kissing Will on and off since they were seven. How are you supposed to recognise an avalanche when you are drowning in snowballs?

Summary
Mike’s entire body pulses with frustration. “Because I’m not Tammy Thompson!”
Will can’t breathe. “But–”
“I’m not Tammy Thompson.” Mike’s eyes blaze. “I’m goddamn Mike Wheeler, and I’ve been in love with you since you set my hair on fire in science class when we were ten.” His jaw clenches, and Will feels like someone let off a grenade next to his head. “I realised I was in love with you when you left me for Lenora, and realised you loved me when you made up that bullshit about El asking you to make me the painting.”
Will feels the blood leave his face, feels his entire world shifting in an instant. “Mike–”
“And then you stand there and tell everyone it’s this crush that amounts to the same as some girl who didn’t like Robin back?” Mike’s voice cracks. “I– how am I that to you?”
-------------------
Mike confronts Will after he comes out to the group, because he isn't goddamn Tammy Thompson.Bookmarked by sourmudkip

Summary
“Looks like I bit you.” Will tilts his head to get a better look. All Mike can do is stare at him. His fluffy hair at the front, clumped pieces at the back where he’d slid his fingers in a mere few minutes before. His pretty green eyes that look hazel or even brown in this light, the dark circles he gets when he drinks framing them like intricate paintings. A satisfied, bloody smile.
Mike isn’t satisfied. He swallows thickly, choking down the words 'don’t you want more?'
Or: Will dresses as a vampire for a college halloween party, but Mike thinks his costume isn’t bloody enough. Will lets him fix it. Mike goes into a crisis.
