    Summary

    Sequel to Judith's Head.

    Will Byers may not have been Mike Wheeler's first kiss, first time, or first boyfriend, but he was his first best friend. Being best friends is the greatest thing two people can possibly be. First kisses, first times, first boyfriends are fleeting. Best friends are for life.

    Of course, Will is finally his boyfriend now, and it's really awesome. Mike has never been happier. Truly. He's so happy that all the pain, self-hatred, resentment, and regret seem trivial. Because they are boyfriends now. It's everything he's ever wanted, even when he didn't want to want it one bit.

    To maintain the perfection of the present, Mike tries not to think about the past. Like how much he hated himself for being different, El's decision to take her own life, all the guys he’s been with, and on his worst days, of Will. It's so rare when it happens that it's not worth mentioning.

    But when it does, it hurts like hell.

    Or: Mike is finally ready to tell the story he could never tell, even when it comes to Will.

    Summary

    “It’s not my fault that it took me so long to figure myself out,” Mike says thickly, no longer angry, instead just barely holding back tears as he repeats the sentiment that Debbie has spent so long trying to get him to believe. He’s not sure why this is the thing pushing him towards accepting it as truth, but he means it when he says it—means it, too, when he continues with, “It’s not my fault that it was hard for me to understand how I felt. It’s not my fault that I didn’t realize what it was until after you moved on. That’s not—that’s not my fault, Will.”

    mike's queer journey happens a little later than will's. that doesn't mean it's any less real or valid. or: 4 of mike wheeler's birthdays and the ways things change.

    Summary

    When Will came out, he was relieved to be accepted by the people closest to him, especially Mike, and especially after Will made it clear to Mike that he was his crush. It was just a silly, stupid crush that really wasn’t about Mike at all. The best part is, Will got over it quickly, and they were able to laugh it off and remain friends. Things have been solid since he let those feelings go. That dumb high school bullshit is in the past. Their friendship is far too important to dwell on a crush that is doomed to be unreciprocated.

    Imagine Will’s surprise when he catches Mike in a Chicago gay bar making out with another man.

    Turns out, Mike is gay. So, what now? What is he supposed to do with this information? More importantly, what does that mean for them?

    Friends? No thanks.

    Best friends.

    Or: The one where Mike is gay and Will is in the Friend Zone the whole time as he helps Mike along his self-acceptance journey.

    Summary

    “If you really don’t want to do this, just say so. I will never bring it up again,” Mike says as he moves his hands near his face, and Will panics again.

    “No, I do really, I just don’t get… Why me?” He asks and swallows as he lets the sentence leave his lips, if he doesn’t hold his tongue, things he doesn’t want out could make their way out.

    “It feels safe,” Mike says simply, and Will’s stomach warms up, he's so scewed.

     

    A.k.a Mike gets teased for sucking at kissing, Will laughts at him, and then regrets it when Mike suggests practicing together.
