Summary
He recoils in shock and terror when he sees its limbs – twisted and wrong. Its skin is torn open in places and hanging down, he can see the whiteness of bone beneath the torn flesh. A thick spurt of blood wells to the surface and splatters onto the floor between him and the sink.
The creature snarls and Mike screams.
It drops to the ground, twisting in mid-air to land on all fours. Its head is twisted in the wrong angle, its spine is sticking out from its back. More blood falls as the flesh is jostled. A thick, rotting smell fills the air.
Mike keeps screaming.
The handle jangles again, harsher this time. Will’s voice filters through, he sounds panicked. Mike can’t make out the words over the sounds of his own screams.
The creature titters, skittering forward, and Mike stumbles back. He hits the door with a loud thud. He’s still screaming.

Summary
It’s a wondrous thing, knowing he’s been saved by some mysterious power. Although Mike isn’t sure if it is that mysterious. Because if there’s anything Mike knows, it’s the work of a sorcerer.
Mike should’ve known Will Byers was never one to let a little effort scare him off.
-----
Or, in the direct aftermath of unlocking his powers, will keeps protecting mike, and mike learns to let himself be taken care of.

Summary
After applying to work at Scoops Ahoy over the summer, Max had found herself holed up in Scoops Ahoy with Mike Wheeler for 7 hours a day, 4 days a week. Eventually, the two warm up to each other, even enough for Max to consider Mike her best friend. Although they are closer than ever before, Max still hasn't touched on any of Mike's darker thoughts or experiences, which led her to believe that he didn't have any.
As they experience the wrath of terrifying Soviet officers while hundreds of metres underneath Starcourt mall, Max learns that there is more to Mike Wheeler than she had previously thought.

“I’m not talking about you, jesus!”
“But… in the party… El and I are the only girls,” Max stated, clearly confused.
“Max…”
“Yeah?” She chuckled dryly again, desperately trying to understand.
He simply stared at her with watery eyes, and he looked absolutely broken.
“Oh…” she said dumbly.
“Oh…” he echoed.

Or:Mike and Max work at Scoops Ahoy instead of Robin and Steve. (An alternative version of season 3’s bathroom coming out scene)
Platonic MadWheeler yayyy!

Summary
Max Mayfield was used to keeping people at a distance. She knew how the world worked: there were those who cared about you, and those who didn't. Mike Wheeler, it seemed, belonged to the latter—at least, that's how it looked when she tried to fit in with their group.
But something changed.
Suddenly Mike notices when she's too quiet. Suddenly he's there when she's hurting. Suddenly his hand on her shoulder is not an accident, but something taken for granted. He says the right words at the right moment, sees what she carefully hides, and acts as if she had always mattered to him.
Or Mike treats all his friends the same way he treated Will in seasons 1 and 2 — and that's how it's always been
Series
- Part 1 of Yeah... it's just Mike.

this writing speaks to me every line is like “He had a quality of stillness that made the air around him confessional.” and every line feels so well thought without demanding attention for being well written.
