    Summary

    "It's your first day," Karen tells him. "This is exciting! You'll make so many friends."

    "You think so?" Mike asks nervously, his wide eyes staring at her.

    "Absolutely."

    Karen Wheeler doesn't condone lying to her children, but she believes white lies can be considered harmless. They won't remember, anyways. But if Karen was telling the truth to her son, she'd have to admit how she's actually desperately nervous about his compatibility with his classmates.

    After school, when Mike is rambling about his new best friend, Karen decides that if Will Byers makes her son this happy, she'll do everything in her power to make sure they stay friends forever.

     

    Or, Will and Mike's relationship through the eyes of their friends and family (plus their own). Will is nonverbal autistic, and Mike has allusions to also being autistic. Neurodivergent friendly fic with them falling in love!

    Summary

    “Meow,” and there’s no way she heard that right, eyes snapping away from where she’d been distractedly watching the TV screen and over to her brother’s friend. She checks again, and yeah, Will is holding a stuffed bear, not a cat. The beloved Tiggy stays firmly attached to his bag, so they aren’t playing with tigers, either.

    “So they go back down the mountain, and now all the village people are asking them about the crystal, and Rory is sad thinking they didn’t get it that whole time, but then–”

    “Meow. Meow,” Will declares, removing the teddy from the dinosaur’s back and making it do some sort of interpretive dance.

    Or, Mike makes a new friend. Nancy learns how to speak cat.

    Summary

    “Okay,” Will says, and throws the door open. “Surprise!”

    Mike opens his eyes. Then–

    “Will,” he says, and it comes out a bit strangled. “Is that a puppy?”

    This is a bit of a stupid question. Mike isn’t dumb. He knows what a puppy looks like. The thing in Will’s hands– a little wrinkled and brown and very covered in fur– is definitely a puppy.

    Will brings home a dog. It goes about as well as expected.

    will brings a puppy home, they name him friday and mike wants to live with them foreverrrr!!!

    ૮ ˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶ ა

    “Maybe with one less bedroom though,” Mike blurts out, because his train of thought is currently averaging a healthy two thousand miles per hour through his brain, which may or may not be related to Will under him, wearing his sweatshirt. And it’s not until Will’s eyes get impossibly wider that he realizes he even said anything in the first place.

    “I– what?”

    Summary

    The first time it happens, Will classifies it as a little accident.

    When he wakes, the morning sun is burning through the window onto their faces, and Mike’s cursing as he stands to close the curtains, stumbling all the way.

    “Scoot over,” he grumbles, voice dry, and for a second Will can’t do anything other than sigh like a lovesick idiot. It’s a second too late for Mike, because he grumbles more words Will doesn’t catch under his breath and then physically pushes Will towards the wall to lay beside him, arm over Will’s middle. A second of silence passes, then Mike sighs, only to whine: “Fuck, my head hurts.”

    Will can’t help it: he breaks down laughing, much to Mike’s offense.

    ---------------

    Alternatively: five times Mike kissed Will, and one time Will kissed back.

    five times mike kissed will and one time will kissed back.
    mike thinks they're dating and will is hella confused. my babyyyyssss!!!

    ٩꒰ ˘ ³˘꒱۶~♡

    “Oh my god. I’ve been kissing you for weeks, Will—did you think I was just doing that platonically?!”

    “I didn’t just think it!” Will tries to defend himself, but he’s fumbling now, visibly mortified at the idea that a kiss could be platonic on top of everything else that they do together. “I was concerned about it, actually! I thought you were confused about—about how the gay thing works!”

    “I’m not a complete idiot!” Mike exclaims, but he’s having a hard time being mad instead of breaking down into hysterics, because— “Holy shit, you thought I was platonically fantasizing about you in a nurse outfit?!”

    Summary

    Now that Will’s sitting and Mike’s the one that’s standing, he looks impossibly tall. Tall and lanky, and huge. He should sit back down, Will thinks, lay back down next to Will and stay in their own secluded little bubble.

    “I really want to kiss you,” Mike says, and Will’s eyes snap back up to his so violently he thinks he hears his own neck crack with the force of it.

    “Don’t,” Will croaks, before his brain has even processed the words. “Don’t say that.”

    “Okay,” Mike says easily, still staring. And what the actual fuck is going on? Is Will hallucinating? Is the weed making him hallucinate? “So sausage and pepperoni?”

    Will stares dumbly at him. “Um - yeah. Yes.”

    “Cool,” Mike replies and then just turns around and leaves Will sitting dumbly in his own room.

    or

    Mike and Will get high on Jonathan’s weed and Mike has an amazing idea.

    i'd love to see me from your point of view by unidentifiedblackthorn
    byler gets high and make outtttt

    ૮꒰˶> ᴗ <˶꒱ა

    Mike promptly starts rambling, as he often does, but so much more worse now that he’s high. “No, because you’ve got these big, warm, bambi eyes, and dumb haircut -“

    “Hey!-“

    “And these long, long eyelashes that like, flutter so innocently and mischievously, but you’ve also got these broad shoulders-“ His hands release his waist to run along Will’s shoulders, tightening at random places to make his point, before diving back down into his shirt. “And big, artist hands and strong nose and -“ His eyes lock up into Will’s, and he stops his rambling to stare up at him. Will kind of wants to eat him alive. “And you’re pretty and broad.” He finishes with a shrug. Completely unabashed and unashamed. Did Mike smoke more than him? He suddenly feels dizzy with the words.

    ૮꒰˶> ᴗ <˶꒱ა

    “We should-” Will starts.

    “Make out.”

    “Eat -” Will says at the same time.

    There’s an unbearably long silence afterwards.

    “I - What?” Will asks after at least a full thirty seconds of pure white noise going through his head.
