    Summary

    “I just– Vecna showed me memories– hurtful memories, when he had me,” Will furrows his eyebrows, diverting his gaze, “but I didn’t let it get to me, I think. It’s a bit blurry, sorry–” Mike interrupts him with a quiet don’t apologize and Will continues, “Then I just– I thought of my happiest moments in life. With the people I love the most.” He looks down at his hands.

    “Oh, good. That’s good. Sweet.” Mike shuffles closer, now leaning on the table with his hands.

    Will grimaces as he looks up, “Sweet–?”

    “Was I there?” When he meets Mike’s eyes, they lock.

    During the mac-z battle against the demogorgons and Vecna, Will unlocks powers, saving three people close to him, one of which is Mike.

    He barely has time to celebrate, because the one power he still didn't unlock is to get over Mike, who has been acting a little bit too much like Will, and Will is in love with Mike, so what does he do with that information?

    He ignores it, until he can't.

    Summary

    "Tell me a secret?"

    Mike asks, like he's come to do every day, late at night, when the darkness can swallow the guilt and the regret rushing out of their hearts, when their sides press together, the floor long forgotten, ever since the first Will, please, come up here.

    Will is a terrible person.

    I'm in love with you. I'm having visions. I'm in love with you. I'm not really having nightmares, Vecna is tempting me with a version of you that loves me back. I'm in love with you.

    "I think my death is the easiest solution to everything. The Upside Down will die with me."

    Will can hear Mike swallow next to him.

    "Will, I would let the world burn down to ashes if it meant keeping you in it."

    or

    They're back in Hawkins, everything is the way it's always been, except - yeah, it's still the middle of an apocalypse, Will is having nosebleeds and Mike would sacrifice the world for his best friend but is still losing him.

    Summary

    “Is it cause you used to have a crush on me?” Mike asked, abruptly.

    “What!” It was Will’s turn to blush harder, giving him a glare reserved for Mike Wheeler and Mike Wheeler only. “No. God. That was ages ago. I’ve been past that for a long time.”

    Mike motioned like he’d made his point. “See? So? It wouldn’t be weird.”

    So, Mike likes guys. Fine, Will can live with that. Except now Mike's worried about having fallen behind and would really like some help practicing how to kiss a guy from his also-into-guys best friend. And Will is trying really, really hard to be a good mentor to him, so what is he going to do, say no?

    Summary

    Will scoffs, offense clear on his face as his mouth drops open, eyebrows pulling together. “What part of my love life requires an intervention?”
    “The part where you only date Mike doppelgangers,” Max states, unimpressed.

    or,
    will byers thinks he's doing great. he's doing well in school, he has a decent part-time job, and he has people he loves around him. he's very well adjusted. except for the fact that he only dates guys that look exactly like mike and doesn't seem to notice that mike is scaring them all off.

    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.
