    Summary

    “Are you okay?”

    “Yes,” Mike decided, rubbing his free thumb into Will’s warm collarbone. “Now.”

    “Good.” Will pulled him decisively back into the circle of his arms, hooking his chin over Mike’s shoulder, and humming. “What isn’t okay?”

    “Carlton,” Mike spat bitterly, and Will laughed.

    “Mike, who is Carlton?” Will asked, sounding bizarrely charmed, and it soothed something in Mike’s chest that he didn’t even realize needed the reassurance.

    Summary

    'It’s 8.56am, which means Will’s alarm will go off in 4 minutes. He’ll wake up, then text Mike to let him know his pre-heat has started, and Mike will let him know he’s on his way. He knows this, because he has turned looking after Will Byers into an art form - a carefully choreographed dance of adoration and tending.

    Right on schedule, his screen lights up with a notification.'

    ___

    Mike might not look like an alpha, but he's doing his best to act like one.

    Summary

    He remembers his Mom telling Ted Wheeler to calm down, that he was going too far – but she didn’t protest too much. Mike had run up to his room right after, forgetting the glass of water he had originally meant to get.

    I won’t have a freak of nature living in my house, he curls up and sobs as another stab of pain flows through him, I’ll tie him to a post outside and let someone take him.

    Or: Mike Wheeler presents as an Omega and promptly decides no one else can know. It doesn't matter that it's killing him, or that Will presents as an Alpha and Mike wants nothing else but be his. He can't let anyone know he's anything but a Beta, so he decides to take his suppressants and be content with pining from afar. This comes back to bite him in the ass in quite a spectacular fashion.

    Summary

    Will bites his lip and nods, looking down at his shoes again so Richie won't see how hard he's holding back a giddy smile.

    Everybody in the party knows everything about him. Maybe it wouldn't be the worst thing to keep a secret from Mike for a little while. 

    It's kind of exciting. Sneaking in a boy Mike hates.

    Will shakes his head, trying to clear Mike from it for the night. Only when he looks back up at Richie, Richie has this conspiratorial smile on his face, like maybe Will isn't the only one eager to piss off Mike Wheeler. 

    OR: the concept of Richie Tozier being Will Byers' dirty little secret and Mike Wheeler being so jealous he can't breathe. Byler endgame.

    Summary

    “Mike ,” she hisses , “shut up. Can’t you see Will’s about to tell us about the date he had with his boyfriend ? He is probably crying because they had a fight. Tell us, Will. It will be okay , I promise.”

    “What ?” Mike yells. at the same time as Will gasps “You knew ?”

    Mike turns his head so fast there’s an audible noise and looks at him , astonished , shocked - all the ways that he can think of to describe the way that he’s absolutely , utterly and completely flabbergasted.

    Or : 5 times Will tries to go on a date and Mike ruins it by being there and 1 time Will realises the date is being ruined by his not being there

    Ft : Mike Wheeler as the world's biggest and most jealous loser , Lucas Sinclair with an impeccable gaydar , Will Byers getting babes (but not caring about any of them) , Max Mayfield who's colluding with her boyfriend on something very suspicious and a Jane Hopper who doesn't understand why it's so hard to get those two boys to kiss.
