    Summary

    Max arches a brow. “Carlton, though? You two are dating and you don’t even kiss? Is it just a preference thing?”

    Will sighs, resigned. He drops his hands. “Okay. Honestly?” He hesitates, then shrugs. “He was a bad kisser. And I just… couldn’t get excited around him. At all.”

    The reaction is immediate and merciless. Dustin makes a dramatic gagging noise. El gasps like she’s been handed gossip gold. Lucas high-fives Max, shaking her hand in his.

    Mike doesn’t say anything. He just watches Will, watches the way he shrugs it off, the way he laughs a little too loud, the way his ears go red.

     

    Or, Will's new boyfriend is a bad kisser. Mike thinks it's a crime that no one has kissed Will properly. He's on a goal to change that, Carlton be damned.

    Summary

    “And you,” Will deadpans, trying to ignore the way his heart is racing in his chest, “are literally under a spell right now.”

    Mike grins, wide and dopey and so stupidly lovestruck. “Yeah, I am,” he agrees, and it’s far too flirtatious for Will’s liking, “I’m under your spell.”

    Or:

    Mike gets hit by a spell that causes him to fall in love with Will. Naturally, chaos ensues.

    Summary

    “Nah, man,” Lucas shakes his head, leaning back as he snacks on an apple, “he got, like, buff. Do you see his arms?”
    Mike does, in fact, see Will’s arms. He has not stopped seeing his arms.
    “She definitely sees his arms,” Dustin very unhelpfully points out, waggling his eyebrows, and Mike gets the overwhelming urge to bash his own head in.

    While volunteering at the Hawkins' help center, it seems like every girl around has a newfound interest in Will Byers, and Mike doesn't know why he feels the way he does.

    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

    “Still,” Will said, grabbing one of Mike’s trophies off the desk, something from AV club years ago. “He could stand to be a bit kinder about it.” He walked over to stand face to face with him, hazel eyes looking upwards to meet his own. “And to flirt a bit less.”
    Mike swallowed, heart pounding at just how close he was. He could feel his breath on his face. “Are—is there a reason you’re here, now? Is something wrong?”
    Will shrugged. “Call it curiosity. Mike managed to help your version of me, and I suppose I wanted to return the favor. And, of course, I would never turn down the chance to see my fiancé in another world.”
    He reached up unexpectedly, trailing his fingers through Mike’s hair, down his face, and holding his chin, his thumb pressed against Mike’s lips. He was warm.
    “I haven’t seen my love with short hair in many years. It suits you.”

    A couple of weeks after Mike the Brave's appearance, Will the Wise comes to have a chat with Mike.
