Summary
“Yeah,” Mike nods, but it isn’t the most convincing, and he can’t find it in him to care, in the late hour, “I was just – thinking.”
It’s not the most significant outfit, but still. Will looks nice. He’s always looked good in white.
Mike blinks. That’s – weird. That’s a weird thing to think about his best friend.
He effectively turns off his brain.
Will asks, “About what?”
“You,” Mike replies, and maybe turning his brain off was the worst idea he could’ve possibly had at nearly three a.m., Jesus fucking Christ.Mike confronts Will about the painting, and lets a few confessions slip.

Summary
“Did I do something wrong?” Mike questions, mouth twisted in a frown, eyes less wide than they were a few moments ago, sleepiness gone. His arms stay at his sides, although his fingers fiddle with his sleeves. “What did I do wrong?”
Will frowns back. “You didn’t do anything wrong.”
Mike doesn’t look like he believes him. Will doesn’t blame him. “Then why do you keep leaving?”
The world ends, and then some. Mike and Will find each other again, amidst the debris and distance.

Summary
“You’re enough,” he says, for the second time that night, and there’s no room for doubt anywhere in his voice.
Mike can only shake his head. Tears slip down his cheeks as his lips wobble helplessly. “I’m not.”
Will watches him for a moment before speaking again.
“Talk to me.” His voice is still breathy and weak, the words almost getting lost between shallow breaths. “I love talking to you.”
Mike lets out a laugh through his tears. “I love talking to you too,” he says, wiping uselessly at his face. “I love talking to you more than anyone else.”

Summary
"Time cast a spell on you, but you won't forget me."
When Will Byers comes out in the middle of the apocalypse, Mike Wheeler is forced to come face-to-face with his own identity.
In the following years, Mike isolates himself from The Party and becomes wrapped up in a cycle of grief and shame. When he finally returns to Hawkins, he is forced to face the consequences of his self-isolation.
Set over a decade of missed opportunities (read: angst) and snapshots in time, Mike has to learn to forgive himself and find his way back home.
(I suck at summaries, I promise the fic is better)
(Also, warning for period typical homophobia and angst. It will get better in the end, I promise.)
or
When Will Byers comes out to the group, it sends Mike Wheeler into a decade-long spiral.

Summary
Mike moves in his bed, and Will's eyes stay firmly on the ceiling. "I feel like we barely know each other anymore."
And Will can't argue with that, so he replies, "What do you want to know?"
There’s a long lapse of silence, and then –
“Can you come up here?”
In the wreckage, Mike and Will spend a series of nights together.
