    Summary

    Will looked up.

    Mike was frozen mid–chew, a piece of pasta hanging stupidly from his fork. His eyes were wide, fixed on Will’s chest.

    On the hoodie.

    On his hoodie.

    The moment stretched like elastic. Mike blinked once. Twice. Then the blush hit - an immediate, fierce red crawling up his neck to the tips of his ears.

    “Oh,” he croaked, voice cracking.

    Will blinked. “Oh?”

    “That’s, um, that’s…” Mike swallowed hard. “That’s my hoodie.”

    Will felt heat rush to his own face. “Uh. Yeah. Sorry. I… I forgot to return it. I’ll give it back later.”

    “No!” Mike squeaked, far too loudly. He cleared his throat violently. “I mean, you don’t have to. I’m not, like, I don’t need it. You can, um. Keep it. If you want.”

     

    💕💕💕

     

    Will borrows Mike’s hoodie once. Then twice. Then it becomes…a whole thing.

    Summary

    Mike Wheeler always seems to gravitate toward Will Byers, like they’re connected by an invisible string; Will could be on the opposite end of any room and Mike would somehow find his way over to stand next to him. When Robin points this out to Will, Will thinks she’s crazy, and they strike a deal; if Will stays away from Mike for a week and notices how Mike will always find him, Will has to consider that maybe, just maybe, Mike has a crush on him too.

    A deal which Will agrees to because, why not? There’s no way this can be true.

    Can it?

    Summary

    “Would you kiss me if I was a girl?” Mike whispered.
    “No.” It was so immediate, so sure. Mike's heart dropped.
    “Oh. Okay. I mean, yeah of course. Me neither, like, either way.” Stupid Mike, stupid.

    They fell into an uncomfortable silence but neither of them moved, Mike felt like his feet has melted into the concrete below them. He didn’t dare look Will in the eye, even if there wasn’t much else to look at.

    “Now ask if I would kiss you as a boy.”

    or

    Mike realised Will's feelings, then realises his own, then fucks it all up, then fixes it.

    Summary

    The compliments had started small.

    “You did good,” Will had murmured, a few hours after the battle, as Mike tried very hard not to cry or pass out and Will clung to consciousness by a breath. And then, the next day, “Thanks for always being there for me. I couldn’t have done it without you.”

    Totally normal. Totally Will. Mike could handle that.

    But then it… spiralled.

    “Your hair looks good today,” Will said one morning in the kitchen while trying (and failing) to pour cereal without spilling half the box.

    Or, as they were walking to the Byers’ car: “I love your freckles. You know that, right?”

     

    💕💕💕💕

     

    Will starts complimenting Mike.

    Mike stops functioning.

    Summary

    "Um. Right," he answers, sort of forgetting what the question had been. He's too busy watching Will's face under the bright kitchen lights, gaze catching on his cheekbones, on the pretty pink flush against his tanned skin, on his lips- "Right, yeah."

    "Right," Will echoes, staring at him like he's grown a second head or something, which at this point would probably be the least weird thing to happen to Mike in his sorry excuse for a life, "To- um. To which part?"

    Mike tears his eyes away from Will's lips, feeling a bit dizzy. "What?"

    Will looks like he doesn't know whether to hit him again or check him for a head injury. "I asked," he says slowly, still frowning at him, "If you wanted to do this to make your guy jealous, and if you were using the Daniel thing as an excuse, because I don't even like him, really, and- uh."

    "Oh," Mike says, clearing his throat quickly and bobbing his head, "Um- yeah, something like that."

    In terms of plans, this might not be the worst one Mike's ever had. In terms of execution, well- there might be room for improvement.
