Summary
“Mike, I know a lot about you. I care a lot about you. Sometimes, it’s like- I-I can feel what you’re feeling too,” Will’s voice quivers, his lip trembles, “But I need you to talk to me, because sometimes I can’t tell what you’re feeling, and I want you to talk to me.”
Mike wants to unfold himself to Will. He knows he does. He is certain of it.
He looks up at Will, who stares back at him, almost hopeful now. It will hurt even more to let him down, to crush those beautifully keen, eager, kind eyes, to reduce them to sunken out hollows.
Mike feels sick. He chokes out the words, consoling himself with the fact he’s doing what’s best for everyone, especially himself.
“I can’t Will. I want to, but I’m sorry, I can’t.”
Will’s face plummets.
Mike’s being compassionate. He can’t love Will exactly how he deserves. He can’t force Will to stay when he eventually leaves. He’s being gentle, taking the easy way out by letting him go now. It should hurt less. Maybe it will. Maybe it won’t.
OR
Mike and Will work through their trauma together and navigate their complex relationship, but other factors make it more complicated.

Summary
The Party goes to college and are finding their own paths, but Mike and Will still write each other across the miles, unable to sever that special bond. It all comes to a head when Will gets his first boyfriend, and Mike just can't be normal about it.
So he does the first mature thing he's ever done in his life and goes to campus therapy where his therapist has an interesting suggestion...
One truly exceptional fuck up later, it's time to face reality; for Mike and Will, 'best friends' was never a long term solution.

Summary
The sound of another pair of skates made Will whip his head around, just to see something pulled straight from one of his nightmares.
Mike Wheeler. On skates. Wearing that stupid smirk on his face as he glided in Will’s direction.
“What are you doing here?” Will asked, unamused.
Mike shrugged, still smirking. “What does it look like? I’m skating, genius.” Will would usually describe himself as a pacifist, but he really wanted to hit him right now.
Will Byers just wanted to get through his senior year in one piece, get his art scholarship, and place at the US figure skating championships. Enter Mike Wheeler, the loud and obnoxious co-captain of the Hawkins Tigers hockey team, and Will's former best friend.
