Summary
It may be the end of the world, but Mike's too busy being distracted by Will, especially since he's using the excuse of being a team to keep Will close and share his room.
Snippets:
Like true siblings. True twins. It tugged at Mike's heartstrings. Both from how sweet and how threatening it was that El wanted Will near her. A sense of jealousy brewed within Mike. Not because of El giving Will attention, rather anyone attention, other than him. Mike Wheeler. Her boyfriend.
No, Mike was bothered that Will looked like he'd accept her offer. That just wouldn't do. Mike is Will's best friend. They agreed to be a team and teams don't split up.
"Will's rooming with me. He's coming back with us." Says Mike undeniably. Dark eyes for the first time in the cabin directly connect to El's. "Like Nancy said. We have the space. It makes sense."

Summary
Unlikely childhood best friends, Mike ‘the Freak’ Wheeler and Lucas ‘the Jock’ Sinclair, have been dumped by their girlfriends Max and El (again) just as summer begins. They’re not worried about winning them back like usual, that is, until the new kid Will Byers moves to town. Their exes Max and El are always hanging around him, goofing off, and are very touchy feely with this Will Byers fellow. Who is this pretty boy playboy and why does Mike keep obsessing over him? Why does Lucas think Will's not so bad of a guy? Dustin proposes to Lucas and Mike that they should befriend Will, learn his weakness, and steal their girlfriends back even though the more they get to know Will, the more they get pulled in by Will’s charm.
Not a love triangle story. Just a love story.

Summary
Will Byers loves Mike Wheeler.
It shouldn’t be a big deal. Of course he loves Mike. He always has. But it’s never felt like this. It’s never hurt to think about it, but it also never felt like a revelation rather than a fact. It hurts, and there’s nothing he can do to ease the pain. He looks across the room at Mike and all he sees is beauty where minutes ago he only saw his best friend. He notices entire constellations in the freckles strewn across his nose, stars glittering in his eyes, and it all seems inevitable. He loves Mike. He loves him and it’s a foregone conclusion, a wish on a shooting star destined to burn out. He loves him and he can’t ever have him, not in that way, and there’s nothing in the world that can ever hurt him again quite like this.
OR: When the party dares Mike to tell someone he loves them for one hundred days, Will doesn't expect to be the unlucky recipient. He definitely doesn't expect it to consume his last three months in Hawkins. But like most things in his life, absolutely nothing goes to plan.

Summary
After Vecna's curse is unleashed onto Hawkins, the town has been placed under government lockdown as the contagion continues to spread. Everyone’s been forced to the margins as they try to pick up the pieces. Maybe it's the swirling spores in the atmosphere or the grief that seems to linger everywhere, but it feels like everyone's haunted by something.
Everyone except Mike, that is. He's the heart, right? He's keeping it together.
He's the only one acting normal.
