Summary
Just yesterday, he thought he was being subtle when glancing at Will once in a while, but Erica, who hasn't had a crush in her life, let alone dated someone, came up to him and said that he should "make a move already, it's obvious he likes you too". She is scarily perceptive for a child, but it's not just her.
Goddamn Steve approached him at one of the Party Gatherings, as they took to calling them, made him go in some nook with him and told him stuff about how you have to use protection and that it doesn't matter if you're both guys.Or,
Mike is so whipped that everyone, except for Will, sees it and tries to give him advice, and chaos ensues. -

Summary
What if Robin and Steve met a year earlier Steddie and Ronance AU (Steve is an oblivious little baby deer)
Or,
Steve has to look up a bit to meet their eyes, and oh boy are they pretty. The eyes, obviously, not the person. It's a guy, and an extraordinarily looking one at that. He's got some cool rings, and his hair is longer than it's socially acceptable to have, but it's curly at the ends and pretty so it's totally worth it. Realizing he'd been staring for more than a few seconds now, Steve steps away and rubs the back of his neck. "Sorry", he adds, suddenly feeling sheepish.

Summary
Older party play never have I ever and Jonathan says never have I ever had Steve crush on me and unexpected people drink.
Or,
Taking a chance, Jonathan leaned in conspiratorially and whispered, "Quick, while Steve's in the kitchen, never have I ever had Steve crush on me!" At that, both Nancy and Robin rolled their eyes, waiting for Steve to come back with drinks, while Eddie tried to down the rest of his can of cheap beer inconspicuously.

Summary
“That’s not my favorite.”
“Oh.” Will blinks. “What is?”
Mike’s tongue darts out to wet his lower lip. “O negative.” Will feels a flush move across his entire body. His magic hums inside of him, excited. His fingers twitch against the carton. Maybe Will was wrong, maybe this is different than having a favorite kind of pizza. More personal. O negative sits differently in Will’s head than double black olives with extra cheese does. More intimate.
“Oh.” Will blinks again. And maybe O negative sits differently in Will’s head, because it also flows through his veins. He feels obligated to tell Mike. “I’m O negative.”
Mike’s pupils widen again. “I know.” His voice is low, gravelly.
Will’s breath hitches again. “You know?” He flinches when Mike’s fingers graze his, peeling the carton out of Will’s hand.
Mike takes a deep breath. “I can smell it.”
Or, five times that Will offered Mike his blood and the one time that Mike accepted.

Summary
It’s comical, Will thinks, that even as he’s pressed up between Chance and the wall, Chance’s strong hands alternating between gripping his waist and exploring under his shirt, that he’s still thinking of Michael fucking Wheeler.
In which Mike and Will have been making out all summer, but Will won’t let Mike touch him.

Summary
Mike barks a laugh. “I’m, unfortunately, requesting your companionship Thursday night to see Child’s Play 2 with Will and I.”
She sends him a look of bewilderment. “How did I get dragged into your date with Will?”
“Y’know, it’s really great that I can count on such discretion from you and Lucas. Super awesome that you don’t tell each other everything.” Max ignores him and he continues on. “Well, I tried my best, but he kind of looked at me all-dumbfounded and wasn’t saying anything, so I panicked.”
“Well, duh. He’s liked you since, like, birth. Did you even give him enough time to answer?”
“Of course I gave him enough time to answer.” Mike grits out, voice tight. “I know how to have a fucking conversation with someone, Maxine.”
Mike Wheeler can’t pick a major to save his life, is fighting for said life in the worst class ever (Astronomy 101), and is desperately trying to romance the best person in his life.
Enter: Will Byers, his advanced concepts in painting final project, and his pretty eyelashes.

Summary
Dustin hums in agreement while he swallows his bite. “It’s like, against his factory settings to say no to you. What do you need him to do, model for you or something?”
Will shoves his face back into his hands. “I’m going to fail.”
Max rolls her eyes. “You’re not going to fail, you’re going to paint Mike.”
Will lifts his head up from his hands, eyes wide, and shakes his head. “You don’t understand.” He pleads with his awful, awful friends, voice low. “He’s been, he’s using my-he came out of my bathroom in just a towel last night.”
Studio art major Will Byers has a study of the human body due before the semester ends, is in desperate need for a model, and has a huge, life-altering, heart wrenching crush on his best friend.
Enter: Mike Wheeler, his broken shower, and his collection of plaid-print boxers.

Summary
Mike's life is split in three categories; the life he should have, the life he wants to have, and the life he has to have. Currently, he's living in limbo between all three; he'll never have that white-picket fence and suburban wife, not when the only girl he could try to love has left him, and while he's finding it harder to live the life he has to have— the life where he hides himself so deep, not even the people he loves know who he is— he'll never get the life he wants, either.
Limbo sucks, to put it simply. He's so close to what he wants (which is Will, no matter how hard he tries to shove it down) but he just can't push past that barrier and talk to Will, not when everything he does always feels wrong.
But, maybe, Mike might come to learn that what he wants isn’t so bad, after all.
(Or; Mike's struggle with his internalized homophobia— among other things, including the concept of free will, Robin Buckley's mildly terrifying presence, and wanting things Mike's sure he doesn't deserve— structured around the five stages of grief. You can mourn a life you'll never live, and you can mourn someone you haven't actually lost.)
