Summary
"You really can’t see yourself at all?”
Mike shrugs, like: what can you do about it.
“It’s fine,” he says, with a toothy grin that reveals his fangs. He’s so focused on making the crease between Will’s eyebrows disappear that he doesn’t even stop to consider the words that are leaving his mouth. “As long as I can still see your face,” he says. “I'll be alright.”
It's hard to face your feelings when you can’t even see your own reflection. Mike tries to be brave about it.

Summary
At first, Mike was unsure how to approach him when he got like this. But they’ve been living together for months now, never further than five feet apart in their dorm beds, so Mike’s learned what works and what doesn’t.
It works when he wakes Will like this, with gentle hands and words, telling him he’s safe. It works when he climbs into Will’s warm bed, turning him on his side and curling up against his back, an arm over his waist and his cheek pressed against his shoulder. They lie together like that until Will’s hiccupping gasps soften into steady breaths, until Mike feels him go limp in his arms and he knows he’s fallen back asleep. It always works.
or: Will has nightmares and Mike is the only one who can console him. Not even Will's boyfriend can. Mike takes great pride in this fact.

Summary
“Thought I’d find you here.”
The voice was gentle, familiar enough that Mike didn’t startle. He looked up just as Will stepped onto the roof, the cold wind tugging at the sleeves of his coat. Will crossed the short distance between them and sat down beside him, close enough that their shoulders nearly brushed.
Mike smiled before he could stop himself. “Hey, Will.”
Will smiled back, soft and a little shy, like he always did when it was just the two of them. “Hi, Mike.”
For a moment, neither of them said anything. They didn’t need to. Will’s presence settled beside him like something that had always belonged there, warm and steady against the cold night air.
💕💕💕💕
December 1989, Mike Wheeler sits on a rooftop beneath familiar stars and tries to make sense of the quiet. When Will Byers joins him, old grief, unspoken truths, and long-buried feelings finally come to light.
Sometimes, the bravest thing you can do is be honest.

Summary
“You’re staring.”
“It doesn’t mean anything!” Mike protested.
“Don’t lie. Not when you look like that,” Dustin snickered.
Mike frowned. “Like what?”
Dustin tilted his head, squinting at him thoughtfully.
“Like a guy who’s been in love with his best friend for ten years and still hasn’t figured it out.”
Mike nearly choked on air.
💕💕💕💕
The Party defeats a monster and camps in the woods for the night.
Mike spends most of the evening staring at Will. Will notices. Things escalate from there.

Summary
For a moment, it’s just him and his kids and a crackly radio on the road to a party, with the spring wind sneaking in through the slightly open windows. It’s a blissful moment that doesn’t last quite as long because Sophie starts to ramble all about her new dress, how she and Luna made sure to match for this special occasion, and Mike’s grumpiness comes back when he remembers he’s going to an engagement party.
Will’s engagement party, to be precise.or
Thirty-five years after their graduation, Mike finds himself dealing with his feelings for Will on a balmy spring night.
