Summary
He stopped for a second when the pain in his chest became a little heavier as Mike turned to look at him.
"About us, I mean. Your new friends, they acted like– like we'd just met or something."
Mike's expression shifted, the easy grin fading as he crossed the room in two strides, sinking onto the bed beside Will. He reached out, his hand covering Will's fidgeting one, thumb brushing over the knuckles in a slow, grounding motion. The mattress dipped under his weight, drawing them closer, Will's shoulder brushing Mike's arm. "Hey, babe." Mike murmured, tilting his head down in front of him to catch Will's averted gaze fixed on the matress. "I didn't mean for it to come out like that. It's not because I'm hiding you or anything.
—
Mike and Will have a lot to learn and experiment together.

"But I don't think that's gonna happen." Max added, sounding overly confident. She used to be direct with her words so her friends could see she was being honest and had a solid reason, she never spoke without a reason.
"Why?"
"Because in that room full of like, hundreds of people, he looked at you like you were the only person in the room."
Will felt his heart dropping and his face warm all at once.

"And." Michael finished with a little kiss on top of Will's hand, letting it go gently afterwards. "I will always choose you. Every time, in every lifetime."
"Oh, God." Will covered his mouth, shaking his head after he tried to stop the tears. "That's— that's enough." He whispered. "Thank you."
Michael’s voice softened further. "You deserve to hear that from him." He said, his hand tucking a lock of hair behind Will's ear. "And one day, you will."

Summary
"Do it."
She says softly, placing a hand on Will's shoulder.
"I know, Will. I know. About how you feel, and I know he feels the same, to you."
Eleven seems to see that Will understands what she means as she didn't want the rest of the party to be aware of something they hasn't figured out yet, but she knew when his eyes remain wide with surprise, but a slight blush accompanies his moist cheeks. She smiles again.
"But he has to be the one to tell you. Bring him here, Will. He needs you."

Summary
Mike gets a chance to meet Will after 3 years of not seeing each other and decides he doesn't care that Will has a partner, he's going to flirt with Will no matter what.
Maybe a little selfish-greedy Mike Wheeler, and a very weak-for-Mike Will Byers.
(Cheating byler btw.)

Summary
Mike hates Valentine’s Day. It was fun as kids, when teachers would make every student decorate a little shoe box with pink and red heart stickers, that by the end of the day would be filled with cheesy Valentines and sweets.
But this isn’t kindergarten anymore— there are no school-enforced rules that his classmates have to give him a Valentine. He has to earn them. And he hasn’t.
———
Mike is (not) upset that he’s the only one of his friends that hasn’t received a Valentine. That is, until something just so happens to fall out of his locker the next day.

Summary
Mike thinks back to the painting Will gave him, rolled up and placed carefully in his dresser drawer, because for some reason it felt too wrong to hang it up on the walls with everything else. Too intimate. Like Will had made it for his eyes only. Or, apparently as everyone else thought, some mystery lover in California. And then he thinks about Will dozing off on his bed, and saying I think I’m in love with you all soft and slowed down from the inertia of sleep, and that’s right about when Mike starts to feel seriously lightheaded. He leans back against his bed and focuses very hard on taking deep, even breaths.
Mike contemplates his feelings for Will Byers, partakes in a concerning amount of swooning, and learns to drive. Sort of.
