Summary
Mike Wheeler is aimless as he starts his senior year at Hawkins High. No goals for the future, a girlfriend he knows he can never love, and friends with grand plans that don’t include him. When Will Byers—Mike’s old babysitter and his childhood crush—returns home from college to teach art and humanities in Hawkins, Mike finds himself facing some truths about himself he's been trying to ignore, as he relearns what it’s like to really want something—to want someone.

Summary
“So… not him, then,” Mike murmured to himself, thoughtful.
He let his gaze drift back to the blond. The guy was looking towards Will again. Wait, no. He was staring at Mike and Will’s feet, tangled together beneath the table. The boy looked up, caught Mike’s eyes for a fleeting moment, then blinked and looked away, shoulders slumping slightly.
Mike couldn’t help the little surge of smug satisfaction - and relief. He shoved it aside and turned back to Will.
Will smiled across the table at him and squeezed Mike’s ankle again.
“No,” Will said softly. “Not him.”

Mike. Micheal fucking Wheeler.
Mike knew Will would read them. He knew because there’s something in Will that he’s recognized and defeated any chance of getting over. At the end of the day, Will always forgives Mike Wheeler.
Or
Will receives a package one day and it's all the letters Mike wrote him and never sent when Will moved to California.

Summary
“Do you want to go home?” He questions, leaning close and voice soft, and Will pauses, before nodding again. Mike lets out a breath, and lets his hand press against Will a little more firmly when he starts to sway in place again. “Okay, let’s go.”
Then he looks up and is met with smug faces, and Mike flushes when he realizes his own hypocrisy.
“I don’t talk like that,” Max recalls, voice high-pitched and overly girly and – Mike definitely doesn’t talk like that.
According to everyone in his life, Mike has a voice reserved just for Will. He tries to figure out what that says about him.
