Will byers was a normal kid, well somewhat- besides the fact he was incredibly in love with his best friend Mike Wheeler.. who was too scared to admit anything. - "Oh, come on, Will," Mike snapped, voice cracking. "Don't act like you didn't love the attention. All those letters. All that flirting. You let him-" "Let him?" Will shot back. Heat flared up his spine. "What was I supposed to do, Mike? He wrote me letters! I didn't ask for any of this!" "But you didn't stop him." "You didn't even care!" Will yelled. "You ignored me after the almost-kiss! You pretend it didn't happen!" Mike froze. Will continued, voice trembling, "You push and pull and act jealous and then pretend you aren't. You're hot and cold, Mike! And I'm so tired of trying to figure out what you want!" "What I want?" Mike's voice broke entirely. "Will, you-everyone-every guy in school flirts with you! Jack literally confessed to you! And you say I'm the confusing one?" Will felt tears sting. "You don't get to be jealous," he whispered. "Not when you act like that night meant nothing." - "I was scared too," Will said. "But not of you. I was scared because I didn't want slow." Mike's eyebrows furrowed. "You don't... want slow?" Will hesitated - then finally said the truth he'd been holding back for years. "I want you." Mike made a broken sound. Soft. Disbelieving. His entire face flushed. "But," Will added carefully, "I know everything's been confusing. And we said we'd go slow. And it's fine if you want to stick with that-" "No." Mike stepped forward so fast they were practically toe-to-toe. "I only agreed to slow because I thought you wanted it." Will blinked. "I thought you wanted it." - Everyone saw it before Mike could even admit it! •• spoilers for sz5

After the events of Vecna, Will Byers and Mike Wheeler have grown closer than ever before. Perhaps it was not seeing each other for a year, or maybe the tension in the air during their long car ride, but Mike and El are no longer an item and Will's confusion over his best friend continues to grow... *** Updates every Tuesday and Friday (I promise I'm trying to be consistent but school is super time consuming!!!) *** I do not own any of these characters or the plot etc. All creds to the Duffer Brothers. *** Set after Season 4, partially vol. 2 compliant. *** Completed: 08/11/2022

˚ ༘♡ ⋆｡˚In which Will returns from a long, sun-soaked summer in California looking... different. Taller, tanner, maybe even hotter. Mike almost doesn't recognize his childhood best friend - not just because of the way Will looks now, but because of how he feels around him. Things with El haven't been right for a while, and Mike's starting to question everything - including who he really is, and who he really wants. As the school year starts and old friendships are reignited, Mike has to face the truth: maybe what he felt for Will wasn't just friendship. And maybe it still isn't. ˚ ༘♡ ⋆｡˚ Started: 07/06/2025 Ended: ongoing Includes mature themes I'll try to post atleast 2-3 chapters every day! Pre-apologising if I don't!
