Summary
Stars swarm his vision, clouding up the view in front of him. His best friend hovers above him, and he dimly registers his friends and family calling his name, physically struggling with their restraints.
The eyes above him are dark brown and hatred drips from them like the tears spilling from Mike’s own. Wrong color, Mike thinks hysterically. They’re always hazel.
—
Or, Mike Wheeler, the words he can’t hold back, and the experience of being pinned against surfaces.

Summary
Mike Wheeler has a problem. He might be sent to Pennhurst if this keeps up. Or maybe just grounded for life if his mom ever sees his recent chemistry test. And it all started with Will and his stupid, small waist.

Byler gets Murrayed, it's pretty much the scene from S2 with Jancy but with Byler.
I exhaled as I shut the door to the Lakehouse office.
Murray... God, fuck you.

Summary
“Mike.”
is the one word that Will releases from his lips in reply. It’s not in a stunned way; he’s just returning the name. It’s been over three months now, and Will already looks older. His hair has outgrown a bit from his usual haircut, and his shoulders are broader. He looks great. Mike is in complete awe. You could say he looks like he’s seen a ghost, but really, it’s just how he looks now—pale, worn down, fragile from everything he’s been holding in.

Summary
“Will, c’mon,” El calls from where she and Max are slaving in the summer heat washing Lucas and Mike's cars, “help us out!”
“He’s busy!” Mike protests automatically, though his voice is hesitant.
“Busy? Pfft,” Max scoffs, tossing a soapy sponge from hand to hand, “He’s been standing there like a lawn ornament forever. Hurry up, Will, you can help too, shirt off!”
Mike freezes, heart jabbing upward in panic. Shirt off. Will’s shirt off. Oh no.
Lucas snorts, “Oh, I get it now. That’s their plan, huh? Get Will to take his shirt off so you can… pay extra attention.” His eyes are teasing, devilish, and Mike feels heat rush to his ears.
OR
Your typical summer time car wash scene with Max and El as instigators, Will with the cute (shirtless, duh) boy next door vibes and Mike can't ignore some things about himself any longer.

Summary
In 1986, the Hawkins High Hellfire Club was on top of the world: somehow, by the grace of god, they had secured a spot in the Dungeons & Dragons National Championship, defying their status as nothing more than a group of freaks. With packed bags and high spirits, they boarded their charted plane bound to Seattle, ready to take on the world.
However, no one could've prepared them for the crash that would strand them in remote Canada.
When four survivors - hungry, frigid, and wild - are found nearly two years later, their survival forces the world to reckon with our deepest fear: who are we willing to become when the mask is stripped?

Summary
“If you’re done ogling my son, why don’t you aim at the target,” Hopper says with forced casualness, like he’s not actively melting Mike’s brain from embarrassment. He was just admiring his friend! Who has muscles now!! That’s a completely normal guy thing to do, if all the buff men in his dad’s Men’s Club magazines are anything to go by.
“Not. Ogling,” Mike grits out as Hopper pushes his elbows down not-so-gently. “And would you stop manhandling me?” He wishes Will were the one teaching him instead. He wouldn’t mind Will’s hands on-
Alarms blare in his head. ABORT ABORT.
Or: Mike Wheeler experiences the five stages of grief, gay panic, and death by emotional vulnerability (the horror!!)

Summary
Since the Byers had moved in with the Wheelers, Mike felt a promising sense of worth in his life. He and Will were finally together, despite all odds.
That is, of course, until he begins receiving threatening anonymous letters alluding to him being a cultist. Letters that very much imply that the town of Hawkins wants him and his friends dead.

Summary
“It was El who broke up with you, though. It’s not like it’s your fault she fell out of love,” Will offered. “That was what she said right?”
For a second their eyes met, but Mike quickly glanced away. He’d been doing that more often recently. Will could understand. Holding eye contact lately… ever since they were spending nights lying awake next to each other, sometimes talking, but mostly pretending to sleep… Let’s say it felt harder than usual to hold Mike’s gaze for him as well.
“… Yes,” Mike answered. “Right. She said that,” he added as if to remind himself.
A loud snort from the main hall pierced through their conversation. “Oh, please.” Murray mocked from the couch. Will and Mike both turned their heads to stare at him with pinched expressions.
“What?” Murray exclaimed. “Falling out of love is not the reason El broke up with you.”OR: Mike and Will get Murray’d and deal with the consequences.
(But, of course that alone won’t be enough to completely burn Mike’s intense repression, so we’re going to rely on our good old friend Vecna to give Mike some insight into his own mind…) -

Summary
"No. No, that's not..what happened. We aren't being held hostage, Dustin."
Strangely enough, Mike found that he would rather be held hostage right now if that meant being held hostage with Will, as that was better than being without him.
He pushed the button down. "He's..he's gone. Will's gone."
"Gone?" Dustin repeated, sounding as stressed as Mike was right now. "What do you mean, gone?"
Mike stared at the tree, at the spot where the gate had been..
..."The Upside Down..it took him."
Losing Will was nothing new to Mike, happening more times than he'd be willing to admit, because really you shouldn't be losing a whole human being as often as Mike Wheeler lost Will Byers. Despite losing him once again and everything that came with it, Mike would rather die than leave him in the Upside Down. So what does Mike do? The most logical thing, of course.
He follows Will right into the hell that took him because he would follow Will anywhere.

Summary
Will grabbed one from the fruit bowl and started chopping, which meant that he turned away from Mike again. Something in his chest hurt. Why wasn’t Will talking to him more? They were best friends, were they not? He understood that they must’ve grown apart over the time since they last saw each other, but surely that should mean they should be catching up, right?
“Can you get El? This should be done in a few minutes anyway.”
“No prob-” Will had already covered his ears again, leaving Mike’s response to die on his lips.----
When Mike Wheeler landed in California to spend his sophomore spring break with his girlfriend and his best friend after not seeing them for over a year and a half, he thought that everything would go smoothly. But Will's distant, and El's keeping something from him. When the military show up at the Byers' house the night after he arrives searching for El and Will, things take a turn that nobody ever expected.

Summary
Will’s not supposed to be hiding in corners, forcing a fake smile when Mike asks him if he’s okay. He’s not supposed to brush off insults like they're jokes. He’s not supposed to vanish for six hours during a school day, leaving Mike feeling like he’s slipping away all over again.
Whoever said that beating Vecna’s going to fix Hawkins’ problems, Will’s problems, Mike’s problems—they deserve an earful. They deserve to feel this weird, hollow dissatisfaction chewing away at their chests.
aka mike begs will to escape their small town after too many run-ins with homophobic small-town bs. he knows will's meant to find himself elsewhere, but he never expects to find an answer to the age-old question of his own fate. prom, gay bars, sleazy hotels, train stations, two lesbians and their not-so-legal marriage - they aren't the traditional sources of wisdom, but he can't complain.

Summary
Will hummed, bringing his hand to his chin. For some reason, it takes Mike that long to realise –
“Are you smoking?”
Will turned, blowing out a puff of smoke before letting his eyes sparkle at Mike as a reply. The other raised an eyebrow. “On my porch? William Jacob Byers just wait until I-“
“Okay woah, you do not get to use my full name against me.”
