Summary
And Will could list every single reason he thought about and every single thing their friends pointed out but he still wouldn't be sure. Because if Mike doesn't like him back, their friendship would be over. There's too much to risk. It really isn't worth it and Will knows it.
There's a possibility, but it's not enough. Possibly is not enough. Friendship also isn't, though.

Mike catches a cold and starts calling Will sunshine. It probably doesn't mean anything at all.Bookmarked by artificialmind

Summary
Michael stepped closer to Will, until he was nearly pressed against his side. He looked at him, head tilted down to meet his gaze. His boots made him taller, making the height difference he and Mike shared even more pronounced. Will shivered when he felt a hand press against his lower back.
“My choices are yours, my prince. If you would like me to distance myself, I will do so without hesitation. Would you like that?”
Will stared, mouth agape. Michael’s eyes were boring into his soul. Mike had never looked at him like that, and it was doing things to him. Slowly, he shook his head.
Michael smirked, looking pleased.
“Hey,” Mike snapped. “I said back off, okay?”When an alternate version of Mike, a strong, confident knight, appears in Hawkins, the Party attempts to help him get home, and Will attempts to survive his flirting.

Summary
“Hm, I wonder why Wheeler is acting so strange today?” Max questioned, looking smug.
“Shut up, Maxine.” Mike seethed beside Will, looking at the redhead with pure hatred.
If Will was honest, he didn’t fully understand what was going on in this situation. By the knowing smirks and smiles it looked like everyone else caught onto something he must’ve missed. Or maybe Mike let them in on something that Will wasn’t a part of. He hoped it wasn’t the second one.
“Maybe Will knows why?” Dustin asked.
“Huh?” Will said, “Know what?”
“Nothing. Don’t listen to them.” Mike rushed to say.
---
OR: Will is asked very subtly to go on a date with a nervous Mike Wheeler. The only problem is that it is so subtle that Will doesn't quite understand that he's going on a date with the person he's in love with.

“Max, El,” Will said, trying to sound quiet so that the person knocking wouldn’t hear him. “He’s back.”
Max’s voice turned even more stern, which he didn’t think was possible. “Oh, shit, really? You better not be opening that door.”
“No, I’m still standing here,” Will assured, whilst the banging continued.

Summary
Mike has a new book in the works and he needs to absorb a new environment for some inspiration. He decides to go to New York, then catch up with some old faces that are striving and living their best possible lives in Manhattan.
A few glasses of Brandy get in his way, and it only sucks more because he never learned how to hold his liquor as great as the women in his life. And drunk words always meant sober thoughts.
Michael Wheeler, unfortunately, is no exception from that fact.

Summary
A week ago, he’d had his toes buried deep in the sand, at some beach ten minutes from his apartment in Virginia. Sometimes, he’d stood there long enough that he was ready for the sea to open up and consume him whole, just like the way it gently erased the footprints in the sand. Mike wondered if his friends from Hawkins had ever visited any beaches. Mike wondered if Will had seen any beaches. They hadn’t spoken in years, really, not since freshman year of college. He’d seen Lucas over the summer, usually with Max in tow, but Dustin was off interning somewhere all the time, and Will? Will never came back to Hawkins. And to be fair, Mike wouldn’t have either, if not for his ridiculous homesickness for a place he’d never loved.
Now, his arms ached from driving so long, and his head hurt from the radio that he chose to blast as he careened across the country in his little rented movers’ van, and all he wanted, really, was a drink.Mike meets a stranger in a bar, and he thinks something is familiar about him. Maybe he's just desperate for friends, but something about the guy (who's very pretty and oozes confidence) reminds him of a friend he had years ago.

Summary
It’s at that very moment that, for reasons completely and utterly unknown to anyone at all, every single possible word he has ever learned from any language ever has suddenly disappeared from his brain, and his throat feels relevant to the Sahara Desert.
None of this, of course, has to do with the fact that Will is very, very, very – shirtless.
Will blinks at him. “Are you okay?”
“Shoulders,” Mike says, sounding vaguely chipmunk-like, and he hears Max barely choke down a snicker.
Will comes back for the summer, and Mike deals with it.
Kind of. Not really.- Language:

Summary
“You’re thinking,” Will says, skating a finger down the line of Mike’s nose, under his eye, over his cheekbone, then resting, finally, just at the corner of his lips– “about me.”
Oh, Jesus. Mike’s throat is very, very dry. “What?”
Will opens his eyes – slow, a little hesitant – and smiles. “You are,” he says, way, way too smug for Mike’s liking. “You’re turning red!”
“Shut up,” Mike mutters, and Will’s smile grows. “You– I’m just nervous!”
It should be illegal for someone to look this pleased with themselves. “Yeah?” Will says quietly, index finger still hovering at the corner of Mike’s mouth, thumb pressed gently under his chin. “I make you nervous?”
Mike thinks Will might be psychic. (Kind of.) Will is being very irritatingly vague about the whole thing.

Summary
Maybe, just maybe, he’s being dramatic.
Will can look at people. That’s okay. It’s fine. It’s as he said before: Will is not his. Will can handle himself. It’s fine. Sure, Mike is worried, but he trusts Will. Will wouldn’t do anything stupid. Mike can ignore that worry, the worry that is simmering under his skin and threatening to bubble over, and it’ll be fine.
Mike nods to himself, satisfied at his conclusion, and decides to give Will one last glance before going back to the kitchen.
And that’s when he sees it.
-----
or;
After everyone rejects his idea to play DND instead of partying, Mike is salty.
It doesn't help that Will looks so good, and that he is seemingly far more interested in everyone who isn't Mike.

Summary
"Have I ever explained how much I love you?" Will's raspy voice cuts through the momentary silence, something in his eyes shifting. Something unnoticeable to most, but very clear to him. Something familiar, like he's seen it before. And he has, he knows he has. Even before they began dating. In moments like these, that look of adoration and affection. Something like love.
Or
Mike being clingy. That's it, really.
