Summary
“What?”, Will huffs, shaking his head in disbelief. “You know blue does not only equate sadness, right? It is one of the blatantly obvious meanings, sure, but it can also imply tranquility, loyalty, trust, peace, and—"
Shut up, shut up, shut up, the voice in his head screams by now, but one cannot interrupt Will in the middle of one of his art rants. Impossible. No chance. “And with the vastness of the sky or sea, blue is also often associated with distance, longing, yearning, and— stuff.”
“Distance”, Mike echoes, and only then does Will truly understand what he has just admitted into the air freely, completely unprovoked and voluntarily. “Longing. Yearning.”
Obviously, this is the exact moment Robert Smith decides to sing about the fact that it is Friday, and that he is very much in love.
Five times Mike distracts Will from his art assignments with his stupidly flirtatious ways, and one time Will actually needs his help to complete a coursework.

Summary
"So," Will says, swallowing and forcing back the pettiness coating the inside of his throat, "There is a girl, then?"
Mike glances away sheepishly, blushing and raising a hand to rub nervously at the back of his neck. "Um. Not exactly."
Will frowns. What else could it possibly be, he wonders, what with the hickeys and the evasive behavior and the coming home late, all of which Will is totally normal and not annoyed about. Maybe it was - he winces at the thought - a hookup that ended poorly, or a series of unrelated incidents, or-
"What is it, then?" he asks, if only to distract himself from this obviously destructive train of thought, and Mike meets his eyes nervously.
"There's not a girl," Mike repeats, sounding a little pained, "But there is- a boy."
The world stops.
In which Mike has a boyfriend who is not Will, and Will is totally, super, very much okay with this turn of events.

Summary
“I always knew you were…”
“What?”
“Magic.”
Jesus. Now it was Will’s turn to blush.
There are snowballs, and then there’s… that.

Summary
“I bet your boyfriend's funny, huh?” he said, before he could stop himself. His eyes flicked back to the piece of jewellery on Will’s neck. “Nice necklace by the way.”
Will froze.
Mike wasn’t stupid. He knew it wasn’t just a necklace. It was a signal. A claim.
Six years after everything, Mike Wheeler has built a life of routine and avoidance, convincing himself that silence is the same as healing. Will Byers has done the opposite – he’s left, grown, and learned to love without apology.
When they meet again at Lucas and Max’s wedding, the truth Mike has spent years avoiding, finally demands to be faced – especially when he sees Will with someone else.
As he finds out, sometimes yearning doesn’t fade with time. It grows, until punches are thrown.

Summary
“Will?”
A light clicks on to his right, bathing a sleepy looking Will in a warm glow. “Hi,” Will says.
Mike grins like a maniac. “Hi,” he replies, and dives right onto Will’s bed.
It's the Byers first night back in Hawkins with the Wheelers, and all Mike wants is for Will to be fully comfortable with him again. He gets a little more than he bargained for.
