Summary
“’Morning,” Mike grumbled, voice low from sleep.
“Noon,” Max corrected, as if she hadn’t only woken up thirty minutes before him.
“Wow,” he replied, squinting at the light. “Nobody thought to wake me?”
It happened casually after that, so casually it almost didn’t register at first. El laughed at something Lucas said, then turned toward Mike and leaned in, instinctively, easily, pressing a kiss to his lips like it was the most logical way to say good morning to him.
.........
Or: Mike and Will have been together for a year and a half when El comes back. The problem is, El assumes she and Mike are still together. The bigger problem is that Mike doesn’t realize Will thinks he might choose her.

Summary
Moments ago, he’d never kissed anyone, and now he’s straddling the boy he’s in love with, moving his mouth on instinct, forcing his body down so that he doesn’t float away. He keeps thinking, I’m so fucked, I’m in trouble, I’m in such deep shit, a giddy running commentary that means nothing, really, because with whom would he be in trouble, and why? Mike? God? The world? Himself?
One of Mike’s hands cards through his hair, nails scratching scalp, and Will feels like he’s dissolving, like he’s cotton candy on Mike’s tongue.
Belatedly, Will gestures at the lamp. “Should I—”
“Keep it on,” Mike says in a firm, heady baritone that hits Will like liquor, and pulls Will back in by the roots of his hair.
Or,
After the MAC-Z, Will and Mike share the mattress in the Wheelers’ basement. Mike finally follows his instincts. Will tries not to have a stroke about it.

Summary
“It’s not real, you know,” Ted’s voice echoed in his head—a tinny, rhythmic drone. “It’s not love, not romance. It’s a sickness.”
Mike almost moaned in relief once the door fell shut behind him, the peaceful quiet of his home surrounding him. He dropped his bag on the floor and crossed through their small apartment, already knowing where he’d find the one he needs. There he was—Will Byers, in all his glory.
Mike Wheeler has a really bad day thanks to Ted Wheeler, Will helps him feel better :)

Summary
Will wants to pull apart the walls around Mike’s heart; he wants to rip it free from the cage of his chest, to dissect it and feel it beating in the palm of his hand. If he reached out now and cut himself open on those cheekbones, would Mike take his bleeding fingers into his mouth and taste the iron in his veins?
OR
Something is happening between Will Byers and Mike Wheeler, and neither of them thinks that they will ever have the guts to figure it out.
