Max – who is rarely left speechless – is currently just that. Her eyes rake Will up and down before finally meeting his gaze.
“Don’t panic,” she says slowly, arms outstretched towards him. Too late, he thinks. Then she says the exact words he was praying she wouldn’t.
“I’m not sure how,” she starts. “But I think you may have turned into a…girl.”
In which a summer bucket list and Will Byers waking up as a girl version of himself finally causes Mike Wheeler to realize his feelings for his best friend. Set post-S5 finale. Summer after graduation.

Summary
"“So do you want it?” Mike asked again. He didn't hesitate, sliding his hand even further up Will’s thigh, the touch heavy, and leaving no room for escape.
“Do you want to gain more experience, Will?”
Will looked over at Mike, whose gaze was intensely focused and seemed to be consuming Will. The weight of a decade-long crush crashed over him all at once, mixed with a sudden spike of anticipation that made his hands tremble. “I want it so bad,” Will whispered, his voice cracking.
“Let me at least show you. Then you can decide if it’s still a bad idea,” Mike said casually, the sharp lines of his face softening into a confident smirk.
Mike shifted his weight, sitting up fully to match Will against the wooden headboard, crowding him into the corner of the bed. Will sat completely frozen, his back pressed hard against the wall, his hands locked in his lap. He couldn’t believe this was actually happening. Mike was leaning over him, looming large and warm, offering to touch him. It felt like a fever dream, fake and entirely disconnected from reality."

Summary
Will Byers hadn't the words to use at twelve to explain just why the invasion of the Mind Flayer left shame hot across his cheeks. He didn't dare explore why his memories of Vecna's voice were the times he'd heard it praising him, a lilt of adoration twisted up in his possessive tone. He didn't think to tell his friends just why his body remembered Vecna's presence before his mind.
For years, Will had managed to hide the sides of himself that were nauseated by affection and writhed under intimacy, but after one late night argument in the winter darkness of the Wheeler kitchen, Will finds himself wrapped up in Mike's plan to heal that part of him he'd once swore to never let anyone see.Still... Will can't help but wonder how many weeks of Mike touching him like a lover he can take before losing the few splinters of sanity he'd had left.
TLDR;
Will has severe intimacy issues due to the predatory nature of how Vecna used/treated him as a child, and Mike decides to fix that through touch-exposure-therapy (He's not the smartest boy, cut him some slack).Bookmarked by spritearight

Summary
“Your boyfriend?” she prompted, speaking quite slowly and carefully as though she was talking to a toddler, “You know, the fake boyfriend you use as an excuse every time someone asks you out?”
Will blinked surprisedly, then cracked up laughing, “What?” he said, “Fake boyfriend?” he repeated, grinning, “You do realise — you know my boyfriend isn’t fake, right? I do have a boyfriend. For the past year and a half, actually.”
Will Byers’ boyfriend is something of a myth amongst the residents of RISD. Nobody has met him, he supposedly helped to save Will’s life, and he goes to Brown. Seriously… who is this guy?
Or; Byler from the perspective of Will’s college friends.
