Summary
Stars burst to life behind his eyes, and his whole body follows, coming into tune. It’s like when you have to shake the static from the TV – yeah, that’s what it feels like – and the picture sharpens into focus.
He feels so here. So now.
“Whoa,” Mike breathes, realizing distantly that he’s smiling.
Going into their last year of college, Mike feels like the only one in the Party who hasn’t fully figured things out – it's like everyone else knows how to be a person, and he’s just been faking it this whole time. Will helps him feel a little more normal.
Or: Mike and Will stumble into a fwb arrangement, and the inevitable happens. Duh!

Summary
The first time it happens, Will classifies it as a little accident.
When he wakes, the morning sun is burning through the window onto their faces, and Mike’s cursing as he stands to close the curtains, stumbling all the way.
“Scoot over,” he grumbles, voice dry, and for a second Will can’t do anything other than sigh like a lovesick idiot. It’s a second too late for Mike, because he grumbles more words Will doesn’t catch under his breath and then physically pushes Will towards the wall to lay beside him, arm over Will’s middle. A second of silence passes, then Mike sighs, only to whine: “Fuck, my head hurts.”
Will can’t help it: he breaks down laughing, much to Mike’s offense.
---------------
Alternatively: five times Mike kissed Will, and one time Will kissed back.

Summary
Mike inhaled sharply, chest rising like he was about to dive underwater.
Then, barely above a whisper, the words scraped out of him like a buried secret coming to life.
“I’m… gay.”
The world didn’t explode.
The ceiling didn’t collapse.
Lightning didn’t strike.
But something inside him shifted. Something felt changed, like a door that had been rusted shut finally opened a crack.
--
After his ten year secret relationship with Will Byers comes to an end, Mike Wheeler begins his own journey of self love.
