    Summary

    After a humiliating lapse in judgement, Mike Wheeler has spent the past few months afraid of his best friend, Will Byers, and especially afraid of the consequences of their kiss in the Upside Down.

    All those late nights pondering his preferences have resulted in a half-hearted acceptance that confuses him more than he cares to admit.

    But one thing is for sure, he can not be alone with Will — “William” — Byers.

    Or : The time Mike is cornered by the boy he wants to avoid the most and has an emotional glitch.

    Summary

    “Do you remember what I said to you… when I first visited you in the hospital?”

     

    “You’re going to have to be more specific.”

     

    There it was again, that patronizing, not Will tone.

     

    Mike’s breath hitched. “When I said… that I am sick like you.”

     

    Will hummed as if to indicate he was thinking about it, but to Mike it seemed insincere.

     

    “Well, now that we both know this, maybe we should just carry on.”

     

    “Don’t you want to talk about it? You never told me what you thought about my letter.”

     

    Will sighed irritably, “We’re here, together, isn’t that enough for you?”

     

    Mike’s stomach tightened. Enough was enough.

     

    “It would be. But you’re not Will.”

     

    or

     

    A Will Byers possession fic with a bit of a twist.

    Summary

    "I want you to tell me something you haven't told anyone before."

    Will took a moment to process the words, but all he could come up with to say in response was, "What?"

    "These confessionals always sucked because I knew no matter what I said, I was being judged," Mike explained. "There wasn't someone I trusted on the other side." There was a beat where, for a second, Will was sure he could hear Mike's heart beating. "But we trust each other." It wasn't a question. Will liked that. Liked that Mike still thought of him that way. "So maybe if we just lay it all out on the line, not having to even see the other... maybe we'll get back to how things were."

    "But... we already know all of each other's secrets." Will was sure his tone gave away the obvious lie.

    "Not anymore."

    ***

    Will and Mike are tasked with scoping out Roane Cemetery Church for clues, and the awkwardness between them can't be ignored any longer. Unsure of where they stand, Will and Mike decide to each choose three things to share with each other that no one else knows. The last one could change everything.

    Summary

    And for the first time in a long time, Mike isn’t scared.

    He doesn’t feel ashamed of the way his heart beats too fast, or the way it’s always known where it belongs. He doesn’t feel like the little boy he once was—hands red and aching, glitter still clinging stubbornly to his fingers, terrified that wanting something too much meant losing it.

    Mike Wheeler has always believed that loving Will Byers is something to endure.
    Something quiet and private. Something you survive rather than choose. Something you bury beneath loyalty, fear, and the unspoken understanding that wanting too much is dangerous—especially when the world already knows exactly where to hurt you.

    But some truths don’t stay buried.

    As a year of silence gives way to proximity, to touch, and to the quiet devastation of being seen, Mike is forced to confront what he’s been running from all along: not the fear of losing Will, but the fear of wanting him openly. Of choosing him without bracing for impact.

    Because earthquakes don’t always destroy things.

    Sometimes, they reveal what was always there—waiting to be held without shaking.
