Summary
When Will came out, he was relieved to be accepted by the people closest to him, especially Mike, and especially after Will made it clear to Mike that he was his crush. It was just a silly, stupid crush that really wasn’t about Mike at all. The best part is, Will got over it quickly, and they were able to laugh it off and remain friends. Things have been solid since he let those feelings go. That dumb high school bullshit is in the past. Their friendship is far too important to dwell on a crush that is doomed to be unreciprocated.
Imagine Will’s surprise when he catches Mike in a Chicago gay bar making out with another man.
Turns out, Mike is gay. So, what now? What is he supposed to do with this information? More importantly, what does that mean for them?
Friends? No thanks.
Best friends.
Or: The one where Mike is gay and Will is in the Friend Zone the whole time as he helps Mike along his self-acceptance journey.

Summary
Mike caps the cup and slides it across the pickup counter to Will, following it up with a wrapped straw and his wrapped lemon loaf immediately after. “Medium iced chai with oat milk and brown sugar syrup, and a lemon loaf for yellow flannel guy!”
Will grabs his straw, shooting a disapproving look at Mike as he carefully unwraps it. “Remind me to never wear this flannel in public again.” He grabs his drink, slipping his straw into it with steady hands.
“Nah, it looks nice on you. Don’t let me stop you, Just Will.” Mike is grinning so hard his face hurts. He’s more awake than he was previously, most of his exhaustion washing away throughout this interaction.
Will sighs, his cheeks going slightly red at Mike’s compliment, bringing his straw to his pink lips and taking a small sip. Mike watches Will’s gaze travel down to Mike’s chest, his eyes stopping on his name tag for only a second before they dip slightly lower. His lips quirk up into a small smile as he swallows his sip of chai. “I like your pin, by the way.”
Or
Mike works at the on-campus coffee shop and Will really likes iced chais.

Summary
Mike thinks it all started the day the Byers moved into their house.
Having sold their house in Hawkins a year and a half prior and moved to California, when they came back, and the town got put in lockdown, they didn’t have a place to go.
Mike had kindly offered up their place during dinner.

Summary
“My expertise. Allow me to introduce you to the world of The Changeling by Victor LaValle.” Will grins, walking around the counter and grabbing Mike’s hand, dragging him to the fantasy section. Mike fights off the urge to super-glue his and Will’s hands together so they’ll never have to let go, because Mike hates a lot of feelings, like ceramic, or wool sweaters, but one feeling he will never get sick of is Will’s soft yet calloused hands in his.
or
Mike Wheeler is interested in many things, and with many interests comes a need to learn. What better way to learn than a bookstore with a cute clerk?

Summary
Mike Wheeler was one of the best teachers at Hawkins High. A gentle, sweet, non-predatory alpha who’d never touch a hair on his students’ heads. He’d proven that a hundred times over, teaching all sorts of kids in the last five years— alphas, betas, and omegas alike— without any issues arising.
Why did that all have to change when Will Byers entered his 9th-grade class?
