Summary
That’s because he’s my boyfriend, Mike!” Will shouts.
“And us?” Mike presses, a sick sense of deja vu creeping coldly over his brain.
Will exhales sharply, “We’re friends. We’re friends! You made sure of that. So I don’t know why you’re so mad at me!”
“Because it was supposed to be me!”
Will blinks, “What are you talking about?”
“I’m mad because it was supposed to be me!” Mike shouts it desperately, like a plea, like this is making him go crazy, and fuck, maybe it is, “After everything—at the end—it was meant to be me. Not him. I don’t want it to be him. I want it to be me.”
Or, Mike doesn't realize his own feelings, until Will's are staring him dead in the face. Vecna's gone, they're nearing the end of their senior year, and all of a sudden Will has a boyfriend. Everything goes downhill pretty quickly from there.

Summary
He takes a deep breath.
“I want him the way I should have wanted Jane.”
Max is quiet, when he finally manages to look at her again. Her brows draw together slightly, pausing.
“But,” she whispers, in the space between them. “Will is a boy.”
Mike feels new tears well up behind his lids.
“Max.”
Something shifts in her expression, her mouth parting slightly.
“Oh.”
It’s quiet. Mike’s mouth pulls itself into a bitter smile. “Yeah, oh.”
or, it’s summer ‘90, and while everyone is off to college, Mike and Max scoop up ice cream in the rebuild Starcourt Mall, reluctantly bonding over their shared hate in children (and Mike’s little sister and idle friends) who just can’t seem to leave them alone.
or, 5 years later it isn’t Robin and Steve working at Scoops Ahoy: it’s Max and Mike.
(inspired by that gorgeous fanart by falloutlaw on twitter!)

Summary
“No, Mike, protective is you making sure I don’t get beaten to a pulp or stuffed into a locker again. What you do with Will is…” Dustin shakes his head, and Mike grows increasingly on edge.
“Is what, Dustin?”
“Well, for starters, Michael, you speak to him differently.”
“I speak to him differently,” Mike repeats flatly.
OR: The gang attends Stacey’s party on graduation night, and Mike can’t deny his feelings for Will any longer.

Summary
“Is it too much?” Will asks. “I don’t want to look overdressed.”
Mike wants to tell him not to go, and that Chance isn’t worth this kind of time and effort, anyways. He wants to say that this is a little much for a friendly breakfast.
Instead, Mike just says, “Hold on.”
Mike goes over to his closet, pushes the curtain open, and grabs his light blue and gray canvas jacket. He then goes over to Will and stands behind him and says, “Arms.”
—
It's spring break of their junior year of college, and Mike is actually pretty happy. Will is the perfect roommate, their five loftmates aren't so bad, and the rest of the party is coming to visit over the break.
But then Will bumps into an old classmate who's suddenly interested in him, and Mike is forced to examine why this bothers him so much.
