Summary
“You seem like a good guy,” Chance said with a smirk, voice low. “I-”
“Hey, Will?” It was Mike, of course it was Mike, interrupting the only time a hot guy may have ever flirted with Will.
“Uh, give me a sec, I just-” Will stumbled.
“Don’t worry about it, Byers, I better get to class,” Chance motioned vaguely down the hall. “I’ll see you around,” Then he had the audacity to fucking wink.
Will didn’t have the time to short-circuit because Mike was glaring suspiciously at Chance as he walked away. “Why, pray tell, were you talking to him?” Mike asked stonily.
Will clenched his jaw. “Why do you care?”
Mike sighed and shook his head. “I don’t.” He thrust a flyer in front of him, looking suddenly embarrassed. “We have a show tonight. Seven o’clock at this cool venue downtown.”
Will took it, silently.
“I want you to come,” Mike said softly, and for a moment none of the bad shit had happened at all, and they were just two kids staring at each other in a school hallway.
-Will might think it's really hot that Mike's in a band. Mike might've written a song about Will. Unfortunately, they're both total idiots and have been set on ignoring each other for months.

Summary
5 times Mike barges into Will’s room without knocking (encountering Will’s boyfriend) + the 1 time he finally knocks.
Or: a college-roommates fic set post-canon (written pre s5) with both Mike and Will living and studying in New York where Will starts to gain the confidence to date men, the only issue being... Mike hates every single guy Will dates.
Feat cameos from the other Party members and a small subplot of Dustin and Suzie getting married.
For the Byler Big Bang 2025

Summary
“Jonathan…” His voice was high and resigned. “You know there’s no way I could do that. There’s no point—he likes girls. Plus, he’s going through a break up. And all this Vecna bullshit…” He sighed heavily, voice crumpling up like a tin can the more he spoke. “The last thing he needs is me burdening him further with my lame crush.”
In a blink Mike snatched up the walkie with trembling hands, shoving the plastic brick’s speaker hard against his ear.
So. El was right. Will did have a crush after all.In which Mike hears something he shouldn't.
