    Summary

    He’s heard from mom and dad that saying sorry works 100 times better if you give someone flowers. That could work right? This was nowhere near his original plan, but it had to do.

    In a split-second decision, he looks down and sees a close bundle of little white flowers. Daisies, maybe.

    Will startles. Mike had crouched down and proceeded to rip the flowers off the ground. The next moment, Mike Wheeler now had flowers in his hand, outstretched in the direction of William Byers.

    The brunette stares. From the arm, the flowers in his hand, and then to Mike’s eyes again. For the first time in this life, Mike’s voice directly addresses him.

    “Hi! I’m Mike. I’m sorry that I kept staring at you this entire time. I’ve just been wanting to ask, do you want to be friends?”

    or: mike wheeler not knowing how to make friends with will byers and in the end deciding to give him flowers as an apology

    Summary

    “Uh-huh,” Mike says faintly, and he yelps when they narrowly avoid the edge of a shining skyscraper, and his hands clutch onto Spiderman instinctively. “Oh – my fucking God, that –”

    Spiderman’s fingers press a little firmly into Mike’s shirt. "Just – hang on!"

    "What do you mean just hang – was that a pun," Mike sputters, clutching onto Spiderman for dear life as they swing through the city, and he can hear the superhero laugh through the racing wind in his ears, the rumble of it under Mike’s arm wrapped around his middle.

    In a city of superheroes, Mike keeps running into Spiderman, much to his dismay.
    On a completely different and unrelated note, Mike also attempts to woo and charm his neighbor into a date.

    Summary

    It's not even like Will is some godlike specimen. His skin is olivey and a bit summer-tan, and he has floppy, honey-brown hair and a few moles smattered adorably across his face and arms, but he is very much just a boy. Average height, average build, symmetrical face. He's wearing jeans and a Zelda T-shirt and plain white Vans. But he gives Mike an awkward half-smile and a wave as he introduces himself at the box office, and Mike can actually feel himself get stupider.

    Will and Mike meet working at their local movie theater, and Mike is so into Will — particularly his hands — that he almost gets fired.

    Summary

    “D’you ever consider I did it on purpose? I am a bit of an attention-seeker, you know.” Perhaps Mike is drunker than Will initially thought.

    “What?”

    “How else could I get the chance to talk to you alone?” Will feels like the air was just knocked out of him. Of course Mike is joking, but there’s a hint of truth to the statement. He was looking for ways to get Will alone. Will isn’t sure whether this information excites him or terrifies him.

    “You’re nutty,” Will says, physically shaking the worries from his head.

    “Maybe so,” Mike says, “but it worked.”

    A collection of moments between cowboy Mike and saloon worker Will as they start to understand what they want in life. Story set in the Red Dead Redemption universe. Byler Big Bang 2024
