Summary
“I’ve been thinking a lot about me and Mike,” Will starts again. “And how I- how much I love him.”
Dustin smiles at the admission, nodding more. “And I want to say it. To him. That I love him.” Will gets out, the words feeling awkward in his mouth.
Dustin hums in a knowledgeable way, looking forward to their group of friends further up the beach. “I see. Makes sense. You guys love each other a lot. But what’s making you so anxious about it?”
The tension in Will’s shoulders deflates, and he lets his forehead fall forward onto his bunched up knees, a groan coming out of his mouth. “So many things,” he breathes. “What if we’re too young? What if he’s not ready to say it? What if it’s too soon in our relationship? What if he doesn’t feel the same yet? What if I’m jinxing the whole thing by saying it and we don’t even last past Christmas because I’m silly and overthinking too much-”
“Okay, okay,” Dustin stops him, thankfully. Will refills his lungs as quickly as he stops talking. “Yeah, see this is what I meant by working overtime.”
*A Heartstopper-inspired confession scene; Will has some trouble saying "i love you" to Mike for the first time.

Summary
Will Byers has always been pretty neutral about the fact that he's an omega. He doesn't think it makes him much different than everyone else, aside from the fact that scents have always been a comforting and necessary factor in his life, especially from his loved ones.
So when his packmate, Mike, starts letting him wear his clothes to class to get the asshole alphas he's been dealing with off his ass, he doesn't expect to get so heavily reliant on Mike's scent to feel normal.
Or, a fluff a/b/o where Mike likes to put Will in his clothes, and Will likes it a bit too much back.

Summary
It's been three years, and everyone seems to have moved on except Mike Wheeler. Stuck in the same routine, days blending together over and over. He's opted to accept his fate, but some feelings can't stay repressed forever.
As he grapples with his demons, he realizes escape is an option, leading him down a twisted road of memories past. Reliving each trauma reminds him, however, exactly why he was choosing to conform all along. If Mike can escape Vecna's curse, he just might rewrite a love story we've heard before.

Summary
“If you go,” Will starts, and he’s so close, Mike could trace the line of freckles crowning his cheekbones. “Think about what’ll happen to Max. Or El. Or Dustin and Lucas.” Will smiles, sparkling bright in the moonlight. “The city would fall apart in a day without you.”
And you? What about you? Mike wants to ask.
As if Will hears him, he says, “I don’t think I could live without you.”
Mike Wheeler, in no particular order:
1. Gets a new job.
2. Falls in love.
3. Becomes Spiderman.One of those things is not like the other.

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?
