It would be something sweet and bright. Something that reminded him of sunrises and freckles. Painted fingers, pink lips and messy hair. Something yellow.
So much beautiful lines found in this fic 💞

Summary
"Are you guys dating?" Dustin blurts out. Mike and Will's heads snap to him, shared panicked expressions on their faces.
"Um, I—we, uh—"
"Why—why do you think that?" Will chokes out.
"Well, let's look at the evidence," Lucas holds up his hand and points to a finger when he says each Thing. "You kiss each other all the time, Will's been sitting on your lap every single time we hang out—"
"Wh—I—It's not every time." Mike argues weakly.
"We heard you call Will 'baby'," Will squeaks and avoids eye contact when Mike looks over at him. "And now you guys are going to sleep together. In the same bed. And you say it's normal."
"You gotta see it from our perspective, dude." Dustin adds once Lucas puts his hand down. Mike opens and closes his mouth a few times, looking like a fucking fish out of water. He kinda feels like one, too. Beside him, Will isn't much better. His face is fully red now, and he's just standing there, mouth open, like he'd just been busted for a crime.

Summary
“You’re not coming this summer. I haven’t seen you in a year and a half and I know it’s-it’s pathetic—“
“It’s not pathetic,” Will interjects quickly, shaking his head, “It’s not—“
“It is, Will,” he hears Mike’s voice break over another hitched breath, “I know you’re… I just want you to be happy. I never want you to come back to Hawkins, but I’m fucking selfish. I’m so selfish, and I’m sorry.”
Will lets the tears spill over and he lets that want that’s always itching under his skin show itself.
“My whole life I’ve missed you every second you’ve been away from me,” Will confesses quietly into the receiver.
If you’re pathetic, I’m wretched.
-
Not long after the final battle, Mike and Will were inseparable– until Will moved out to New York.
Despite the weekly calls and the freedom of living their lives without terror, there’s no world in which they could last so long apart without it feeling like torture.
Will gets a call, and three days later, Mike is at his doorstep.
It only takes a day for them to fall back together again.

Summary
“Am I hard to read?” Mike asks, his tone harsh and his grip on Will’s wrist harsher, “I’m hard to read?”
How can you tell if someone has a crush on you when they're hard to read? Will had claimed. And it ticked Mike off because who else could he possibly be referring to? How many other hard to read people has he been in love with? No, scratch that, how many people has Will been in love with at all?
Mike has known him all his life.
And he has some nerve trying to paint Mike as the villain; as if he hasn't been sitting here with his chest open and his heart hanging on display for the better half of the past hour, begging Will to reciprocate even a fraction of how he feels for him.
or the one where byler finally talk without being interrupted. things get off to a rocky start, but between mike's candour and will's patience, i think they'll work this out just fine

Summary
Will could not help the question that burst from his lips, it had been ricocheting around his brain like a stray tennis ball and was simultaneously causing him the most excitement, distress and exhilaration he had felt in his entire life.
“Are you my husband?” he blurted. Mike blinked in surprise.
“What?”
Will lost his nerve slightly. He wondered if he had been horribly wrong about this, and maybe in this strange timeline he was just a friend staying over and maybe he’d made a mistake and the daughter wasn’t really his daughter and—
Will faltered. “Um, I — well, I just thought you were — I mean, you are my husband, right?”
Mike looked very alarmed. He was staring at Will as though he had grown a second head.
“Obviously…?” he said, “Are you feeling alright? Did your mom make you try her D-I-Y coffee again?”
When nineteen-year-old Will Byers wakes up to find himself in his forty-three-year-old body, he must—with no experience whatsoever—play the part of world-renowned freelance painter, father of two very troublesome teenagers, and most strangely of all: Mike Wheeler’s husband.

Summary
"We're basically a cover band, but Mike’s actually been doing a bit of songwriting as well. And we want to debut his first song tonight for you guys before we go. So forgive him for slowing things down and getting sappy."
What is happening?
Mike wrote a song?
A slow song?
A sappy song?
Oh god. A wave of sickness stirs in his gut.
He's been writing songs for El… that's what this is.
Or: The one where Vecna was defeated in Season 4, nobody died, Hellfire is a band, and Mike Wheeler can't stop writing love songs.

"You look good in my shirt," Mike says into his ear.
"Well, apparently I had to wear my boyfriend's shirt… just like everyone else." He gestures toward Max, El, and Steve.
"Boyfriend, huh?"
Will freezes.
"Lucky me," Mike says, tightening his arms and swaying them both to the music.
They sway to the music, then dance. Max and El drag him away for the more upbeat songs, his eyes always finding Mike's to see him smiling back. Each time he meets the gaze of someone else: his mom, Jonathan, or even Mike's mom, he sees nothing but happiness in their eyes.
And in this moment, when Max is twirling him around, and he spins and falls into Mike's arms, causing them both to laugh until Mike leans forward to kiss him sweetly, he feels that finally, everything is going to be okay for them.
More than okay.
They get to have happiness.

Summary
Now, in the silent aftermath of the massacre, it’s already hard to believe that Will did what he just did. He can’t imagine that anything about this development is good news to Joyce, who has been fighting tooth and nail to keep Will uninvolved since they were thirteen years old. No such luck. The Upside Down clings to Will like a moth drawn to a light, tugging and lapping at his heels with whispers of the impossible. Born to be steeped in magic. Mike could have warned Joyce years ago. Will Byers isn’t the kind of person that can ever be fully walked away from.
[or, following the events at the MAC-Z, Mike and Will have some things to discuss.]

"Tell me, Sir Michael, do they ever let you out of that suit? Or do you sleep in it to hide the fact that there's nothing underneath but duty?"
Mike doesn’t blink. "I sleep in it so that if someone like you tries to sneak into the Prince's quarters at night, they find six inches of steel instead of a door."
or;
Jealous personal knight Mike Wheeler will shatter anyone who dares to touch his prince. That includes slimy Lords from the South who want to court him.

Did I ever tell you about the time I went backpacking through Western Europe? by Levi_Fuckerman

Summary
"I'm actually so excited to have you live with us," Will said giddily.
"You are?"
Mike hoped it didn't sound as pathetic to them as it did to him.
Will grinned at him. "For sure. I can finally do something about that hair of yours."
Despite himself, Mike laughed out loud, cherishing the taunting.
It was going to be fine. If he could have this Will by his side again, he could take other men having their way with him a thin wall away from Mike. Couldn't he?
Or: Will gives Mike a little bit of tough love, encouraging him to stop wasting his life. Mike moves in with Will and Dustin in New York only to realize that Will has a very - very - active sex life. Mike is okay with it for about three nanoseconds before he loses his mind, regretting every choice he ever made and desperately wishing it was him there with Will.

Summary
"It's not fair." Mike announced angrily.
Dustin looked up. "What?"
"We've got these." Mike gestured at the table. "And Will's just…he doesn't have anything like this. That's not fair. You should have thought about him when you got these."
"Mike, I was lucky to find what I did! I wasn't exactly spoiled for choice out there. Where do you think I'm going to find gay porn magazines in Hawkins?"
"I don't know, you could have tried harder! Where did you even go to get these?"
"I'm not telling you that!"
"Then I'll go look myself." Mike was already planning it out in his head. It couldn't be that hard. This town had a lot of wreckage. Somebody had to have left something behind somewhere. "How hard can it be?"
Lucas lowered the magazine. He looked at Mike appraisingly, like he was trying to work something out. "You want to go out to find gay porn magazines…for Will?"
When Mike can't find a single gay porn magazine for Will in the wreckage of Hawkins, he decides to make one himself. That's just what best friends do.

Summary
Please, please, please, he’d begged, pinning Will’s wrists to the wall on either side of his head as his dizzying scent brought literal tears to Mike’s eyes. The strongest it had ever been, and Mike was just so, so certain he’d combust if Will let another alpha temper his heat one more time. Don’t go to him. Stay with me. I’ll make you feel so fucking good baby, I’ll keep you safe, let me show you. I’ll take such good care of you.
---
Mike has been helping Will through his heats for a handful of years now, because that's what good friends do. He does a good enough job avoiding his feelings... until Will gets pregnant. Then, things get a little bit more complicated.

When the sermon begins, it doesn’t take long for Will to feel a breath on his ear. “This is gonna be boring isn’t it?”
Will scrunches his face and lolls his head to look at Mike. “Why do you act like you’ve never been to church before?”
“I haven’t.” Mike whispers.
Somewhere around the border of North and South Carolina in 2008, Will Byers is a member of the local church's youth group. Why? Even he doesn't know. When a new member, Mike Wheeler, comes along, Will starts to wonder.
or
Mike Wheeler joins a youth group solely because he has a crush on one of the members.

Deku shakes his head to himself and pushes right past that claim. “I tried to get you to start knitting with me last year and every few months since then but you’re going to start because of your hot friend telling you about an old wives’ tale?
“He’s not fuckin’ hot,” Katsuki grumbles, pinching the bridge of his nose between his thumb and pointer finger. “And it’s a curse, get it right.”
*
Or, Katsuki buys stupid Deku the best Christmas present of all time, learns to knit purely out of spite, debunks the (totally bullshit) sweater curse, and gains a boyfriend in the process.

Summary
The guy does nothing aside from hold the jacket out farther, swinging it closer to Shouto’s bloody face.
Taking a closer look at the jacket from where it dangles in his hand is Shouto’s only option.
There are pins attached to the collar and pockets sporadically, glinting softly in the light. Patches too, hand stitched on, Shouto can tell by his cursory glance. A little gay pride ribbon is pinned to the front pocket with an honest to god safety pin.
The jacket looks well-loved—clearly worn frequently and decorated with intention. Speaks of a long term attachment that only someone dedicated to a specific item achieves.
*
Or, they pass a jean jacket back and forth long enough for them to fall in love.
