Summary
Will imagines throwing his arms around Mike’s shoulders as he cries yes, yes I’ll marry you! He imagines their wedding, how soft and romantic and perfect it would be. Afterwards, Mike would undress him slowly, press him into the mattress, and kiss away the tears that spring out of his eyes as he slides inside Will, deep and pulsing and everything Will needs. He thinks about calling Mike his husband, about their rings clanging together as Mike presses their hands together on the mattress while he fucks into Will. Will would moan and cry out for his husband until his throat became hoarse. He thinks about doing that every single night of their honeymoon. Every single night for the rest of their lives.
Mike starts telling everyone that he and Will are on their honeymoon, even though they're not actually married. Will promptly loses his mind over it.

Summary
“Does it need to be like ceramics last semester? Do I need to drop you off and pick you up at the door again like a fucking preschooler?” Will shakes his head as best as he can, a whimper escaping from his lips. Mike grips his jaw tighter. “Speak.”
“N-no, Mike.” Yes, actually, Will wants to say. He liked it when Mike did that last semester, walking him to and from class like Will’s big, scary guard dog. Sometimes, if Will was lucky, Mike would wait in the hallway during his class, clutching some mass market paperback, spine cracked and curled in on itself. Even big, scary guard dogs have owners, Will would think as Mike stayed put for him.
In which someone asks for Will’s number and it makes Mike murderously angry.

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
As much of a mystery as Mike was, Will had come to understand at least one thing. Mike needed to be needed.
Will felt like a lightbulb had gone off in his head when he’d come to the realisation.
The dealing, the sex, the taunting texts – it all made sense. People came to Mike to get what they needed, whether that be drugs, an orgasm, or the last word in a fiery exchange.
The goading messages were a test, Will had decided – a constant push and pull, Mike seeing whether Will would come back and defend himself against his harsh words.
In a way, Will was no better than the people traipsing Mike’s door at all hours of the night. He did need something from Mike, just the same as everyone else.Or:
Ending up on the infamous roster of the college drug dealer was not in Will's college plans. He'd had a list — a real one, written down — of how this year was supposed to go. Mike Wheeler was not on it. None of this was.

Summary
All at once, he was an angel, shy and soft and ready. Completely Mike’s. Mike couldn’t believe they were doing this – that Will was letting him do this. It was the best of dreams.
Mike and Will had a tradition. When they did something for the first time, they did it together. Firsts were their thing. Mike takes this very, very seriously.

Summary
“You’re not coming this summer. I haven’t seen you in a year and a half and I know it’s-it’s pathetic—“
“It’s not pathetic,” Will interjects quickly, shaking his head, “It’s not—“
“It is, Will,” he hears Mike’s voice break over another hitched breath, “I know you’re… I just want you to be happy. I never want you to come back to Hawkins, but I’m fucking selfish. I’m so selfish, and I’m sorry.”
Will lets the tears spill over and he lets that want that’s always itching under his skin show itself.
“My whole life I’ve missed you every second you’ve been away from me,” Will confesses quietly into the receiver.
If you’re pathetic, I’m wretched.
-
Not long after the final battle, Mike and Will were inseparable– until Will moved out to New York.
Despite the weekly calls and the freedom of living their lives without terror, there’s no world in which they could last so long apart without it feeling like torture.
Will gets a call, and three days later, Mike is at his doorstep.
It only takes a day for them to fall back together again.

I Was Made For Lovin' You, Baby (You Were Made For Lovin' Me) by occasionalpisser

Summary
Halting his blubbing, Mike blinks his eyes back open and allows for his vision to adjust to the unreasonably bright light that’s still surrounding him. His head lolls to the side, vision still coming in and out of focus as he tries to take in the image in front of him, blocking out all of his other senses.
Mike squints and… Oh.
Okay—why is God the dictionary definition of the word 'gorgeous'?
OR: Upon getting his wisdom teeth removed, Mike Wheeler doesn't remember much of anything—including Will Byers, and the fact that they're married to each other. He still feels all the love and adoration he has for the man, though... so he can't be blamed if it all comes spilling out of him in one way or another.

Summary
“I just feel… really protected with you?” Will admits, nose and face scrunched up adorably, like it’s something embarrassing. But it’s music to Mike’s ears. “Really safe. And I never really felt that way with Lonnie, so it’s not like—” Will huffs, redirects. “I never liked being babied, but I like… being your baby.” Mike gives a small smile of encouragement, scoots closer on the couch, brushes Will’s hair out of his eyes where it’s getting too long. “I guess when I’m—really out of my head, with you taking care of me? I feel so—um, small. And cared for. Like—”
Like a kid with their dad. Jesus fucking Christ.
Maybe Mike’s face does something weird with the way all the blood is rushing to his dick, because Will goes flushed and mortified again and says, “But I know it’s totally weird and you’re just being nice—”
“Will,” Mike says. “It’s really fucking hot.”
Or, Will calls Mike "daddy" when he's deep in subspace, and Mike has made it his personal mission to draw it out of him again.

The Things We Never Said (we spoke with our hearts) by midnight_mems28

Summary
“You’re—hard again.” Will breathed, as he ran his fingers down Mike’s stomach. Mike stopped him, grabbing his wrist and bringing his hand back to his chest.
“I don’t care, let me hold you.” Mike whispered into Will’s hair, kissing the top of his head.
“I—I don’t think I’ve ever come that hard in my life.” Will smushed his face against Mike, almost like he was embarrassed.
A smug satisfaction pooled in Mike’s gut at that. He’d never even done that before. He didn’t pry though, didn’t taunt Will with the words resting on his tongue. What? Wes can’t fuck you like that? Can’t make you come that hard?
It had been seven years since the party ended in Mike Wheeler’s basement after graduation. He was drowning in a sea of conformity, grasping at the only lifeline that ever made sense to him, his imagination.
Or-Mike ends up in New York, feeling aimless, until he sees a painting of his younger self hung in a gallery, a plaque next to the frame reading, “First Love-W.B”.
Mike is finally faced with the reality that he’s always been too scared to admit. He had to find Will.- Language:

Summary
Both of their bodies shake as they catch their breath. Will’s still hard, and his sweat is starting to dry uncomfortably on his skin, but all he can focus on is Mike.
It’s times like these he’s reminded how lucky he is to have Mike in this way. To see this side of him, this side that still feels too new and too intimate and too overwhelming all at once. Sometimes, he thinks he might be bitter. Resentful of his lot in life, being so painfully in love with someone who will so obviously never feel the same way. On his bad days, he even thinks he might resent Mike.
Like this, though, he knows that could never be true. Not really. Sure, it hurts, only ever having Mike halfway, knowing his body but never his soul. Yes, it’s going to kill him when Mike inevitably finds someone new and runs off into the sunset, leaving him in the dust again.
But it’s Mike. He'll take whatever he can get.
When he and Mike end up in bed together after graduation, they fall into something dangerously easy. Or, at least, it would be easy, if it weren’t the most painful thing Will’s ever done.

Summary
"This okay?" Mike presses his fingers down, ever so slightly. Will inhales sharply and nods, but strangely, Mike isn't satisfied. Because of this, he says something so, so stupid—
"Can you use your words for me?"
Another sharp noise escapes Will. Mike stiffens, tugging his hands away as he mentally calculates the flight cost for a one-way trip from New York to the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, until Will leans back into his hands with a soft sigh.
"Yeah," he says, softly. "Yeah, it's— it's good."
When Mike touches the back of Will’s neck, Will loses himself. Mike, obviously, decides to abuse this.

“So you’re saying,” says Will, “that we’d…”
“Have sex.”
“Right. That. Once a week, for twelve weeks. And then what?”
“And then back to our regularly scheduled programming.” Or it’s amazing, and we keep doing it forever, Mike thinks but narrowly manages to keep to himself.OR: After their mentors tell them they need more life experience to improve their art, college roommates Mike and Will agree to start up a short-term friends-with-benefits situation. Also, they’re going on dates. But not like, date-dates. Artist Dates. Don’t worry about it.

Summary
Will thinks about staying in bed. He thinks about beckoning Mike back into their room and rolling onto his stomach and having Mike push back inside him. He thinks about Mike moaning in his ear. Shoving his face into the mattress in that way that Will loves. Coming inside him. Dirtying him even more. Falling back asleep with Mike inside him and never leaving the bed, never leaving each other's arms. Food, coffee, life - it can all wait.
Sometimes Will worries that it’s becoming unhealthy. That he’s too obsessed, and that one day it’s all going to crash and burn. Or worse, that they will slowly fizzle out over time.Will becomes concerned that he wants Mike more than what's probably considered normal. Mike proves him wrong. Multiple times.

Summary
“For the love of God! Mike, I haven’t had an orgasm in like two fucking weeks! That’s what’s wrong!” Will snaps. Mike’s eyes go wide. He opens his mouth to reply, but he closes it again. The silence between them is heavy for a moment. Like they’re both weighing what Will just admitted. “And you have been driving me fucking insane with all this touching. I don’t know what’s happening, but it needs to stop.”

Summary
Will is having nightmares. Mike is having desires he doesn’t understand.
— or —
Mike felt something warm bloom in his chest. Will looked so soft, so peaceful, hair ruffled, lips parted gently against the fabric of Mike’s shirt, breathing slow but deep. He couldn’t help the swell of pride that rose inside him—pride because Will felt safe enough to fall asleep pressed against him, trusting him entirely.
And yet, a bitter ache threaded through that warmth.
Is Carlton as gentle with him?
Does Will fall asleep in his arms?
Does he feel safe like this with him?
Is he patient with him when he’s drunk, when he’s trembling and cold?

“So… Have you and Mike fucked yet?”
Will nearly spits out his drink. “What?!”
Max rolls her eyes. “Sorry, I forgot how you two are.” Her lip turns up, as she draws out her next words in an exaggerated fashion.
“Have you made love yet?”
The one where Will is sexually repressed, and he's quite literally losing his sanity over it.
