Summary
He’d stared at Will without really seeing him, so caught up in his own thoughts—a constant, monotonous beat of oh my God, I’m alive. Oh my God, Will has powers. Oh my God, he saved me.
And then—
Oh my God, he’s beautiful.
The thought had stopped him short, had landed with a soft and devastating clarity.
Beautiful.
That single word had broken something open within him, something he’d spent years reinforcing with lock and chain and prayer and denial.
After Will saves Mike from the demogorgon at the MAC-Z, Mike finally lets himself acknowledge a truth he's been running from for years:
He is in love with Will Byers.
Now all Mike has to do is come to terms with that truth—especially when Joyce sees it too.

Summary
Will’s life in New York has been one of a kind. The bright lights, the constant noise, the towering skyscrapers — it all still feels new to him, even after a year and a half of living here. Sometimes overwhelming, sure, but good. Really good.
When Will met Anthony, it was like time slowed down. He was so charming. So full of respect. Honest. Caring. Non-judegmental. He was perfect — so goddamn perfect — and he made Will’s life even better than it already was.
Anthony encouraged Will’s art, complimented him, always made time for him. He listened. He stayed. He made Will feel safe. And that had to mean something, right?POST-SEASON 5!! (1990, ALL CHARACTERS 19)

Summary
There’s something wrong with Will.
It started three weeks ago, almost four. Will had woken from some sort of nightmare and, instead of seeking comfort in Mike the way he usually would, he’d rolled out a sleeping bag from the closet and chosen to sleep on the floor.
No one believes Mike, except for Joyce. But even she doesn’t understand the full extent to which something is wrong with Will.
Mike understands, though. Mike has been paying attention.

Something is Wrong with Mike Wheeler by The_Bees_Want_Arson for Orcareux

Summary
“Jeez, you really are sick.” Will muttered and Mike choked out a laugh.
“‘S just my luck.” He murmured, ignoring the way his head spun when he lifted it from the toilet seat.
Even under the harsh white light of the bathroom, Will still looked good, his honey brown eyes furrowed in concern and lips slightly parted. He was beautiful, and Mike wanted to bite him.
He recoiled a bit at the thought but now that he had thought it, it wouldn't go away. He could imagine it, digging his teeth into Will’s wrist, blood beading from the teeth marks faster than he could lick it up. The rushing in his ears got louder, twin heartbeats thudding in his ears and Mike turned to heave into the toilet again, not even bothering to stop the sobs that were ripping through him.

Summary
Will’s expression is grim, broken as his own.
“You are not weak, Mike,” he says, his voice low and firm, overriding his own pain for Mike's sake. “Don’t you dare say that. You are my Paladin. You are the purest person I know.” He squeezes Mike’s hand. “You don’t need forgiveness from me. You don’t need absolution. And I—I can’t be your Cleric anymore. Not like this. I’m the one who’s tainted. I’m the sinner, Mike. I’m the one who’s going to ruin you.”
Will finally collapses right then. His face is hot with shame, his heart heavy with sorrow — not just for himself, but for Mike, for what he’s done to him, for what they’ve become. The tears he’s held back for days finally stream down his face.or
