ever get the feeling that you're never all alone? by falloutboi for Wheeee, glossyjm

Summary
Anyways, the point is, Will thinks, that maybe his ghost roommate has escalated from small pranks and is actually now watching Will. Will supposes that's fine, but he does think that maybe it's a little perverted of the ghost to watch Will masturbate. Will trudges back into the house to wash his hands in the kitchen, crinkling his nose. He probably should be more upset about having a perverted ghost roommate, but sue him, he's lonely (and kind of horny).
Will dries his hands off on an old dish towel and resigns himself to spending the rest of the afternoon on the couch, lounging around and flipping through channels on the staticky box TV.
Maybe his perverted ghost roommate likes The X-Files too.
In which Will thinks that his house is haunted (and he's right).

Summary
Will smiled back, soft and sweet, like he always was. It was, all in all, the same smile Mike had grown up knowing as well as his own reflection. It was Will's teeth peeking through the slight pull of his chapped lips, and Will's skin wrinkling near his eyes. Mike would know Will's smile anywhere.
Only, that wasn't his smile.
Because that wasn't Will.
"Follow me?" Will asked, and one yellow ray of sunlight punctured the fog, illuminating the tufts of his mud-spattered hair like a halo. It was fitting. If the rest of the town thought Will was the devil, he'd always been an angel to Mike.
And for the life of him, Mike couldn’t remember what it was he’d been so worried about just a second ago.
"Yeah," he answered, treading behind Will and headed for the woods. "Always."
It's the summer of 1987, the town is under lockdown, the people are panicking and praying, and they've pinpointed Will as the one to blame for it all. In fact, nearly everyone seems a little afraid of Will these days, except for Mike.
(Or: Following a desperate ritual to cast the devil out of Hawkins, Will starts acting strangely. Mike starts having dreams.)

Summary
Will Byers is possessed. Again. But this time it's coming for him fast and hard, and it's not something they can just force out by poking him with a fire iron; he needs a different form of release, and Mike Wheeler has been waiting.
It's El that answers for Will, and for every truth that she utters everything begins to click into place.
"Will would need someone to help him."
And there it finally is, the undeniable truth: Someone needs to fuck Will through it. It doesn't land like a sucker punch to the gut that would have left him winded like Mike had expected. Instead, the fact consumes him like a sudden blast of cold wind, eliciting a tingle in his skin and leaving goosebumps in its wake to travel from his arms up to his shoulders and to his nape, at the back of his ears. He feels it settle in his scalp like a hundred pinpricks from a needle.
"I'll do it."
Mike signs his death sentence in three words. He finds it hard to regret—even poor bastards due for the executioner's block are granted their last meal, after all.
Or: byler Fuck Or Die, wherein mike has to exorcise will by fucking the possession out of him as it is actively ongoing.

Summary
“So you’ve been excited for Prom. Is that it?”
Will hesitates. “Yeah, I mean— I guess I just sort of…pictured myself with a date.”
“Oh,” Mike says, a little surprised. He doesn’t really know how to talk to Will about this part of him yet. He usually avoids the topic—unlike their friends—and waits for Will to bring it up first.
“It’s…stupid, I know.”
“No!” Mike says quickly. “No, nothing’s stupid.” Suddenly, an idea comes to him. “What if you and I go together?”
Will has always wanted to go to Prom with a date. And Mike—well, Mike doesn’t have a date, but he does have an idea.

Summary
Right before swinging the door shut, she says, “And Mike, give your girlfriend another kiss for me.”
“‘Girlfriend’?” Mike repeats.
Will glances away and then looks back again. “Um, I think she means me, Mike.”
“Oh.” Mike stares into his gorgeous, eyeliner-smudged eyes. “Okay.”
“Sorry, I know that’s kind of weird, she shouldn’t—”
“No! It’s okay. Really, it is.” Mike sees his own reflection in Will's glossy lips. “You can be my girlfriend, Will.”
or, Will wants to be treated like a girl sometimes. Mike's happy to make that happen.

“I just, I guess I don’t really understand what’s so special about them. They’re just hands," Mike says.
Will huffs. “Well, obviously, but they’re your hands, Mike. Yours. And they—” He holds his own palm up to Mike’s. “They’re bigger than mine."
“Yeah?”
Will’s staring at where Mike’s fingertips stick out above his. “And your fingers…”
“What about them?”
Will shifts in Mike’s lap. He brings Mike’s hand to his lips again, and then he presses kisses to the pads of his fingers before whispering, “They’re so long.”
Oh.
Oh.
or, Will can't stop staring at Mike's hands. Mike finds out why, and then he does something about it.

Summary
Mike and will drunkenly sleep together after Stacy’s party.
— or —
He’d thought he was over Mike. He’d told himself he was. He’d accepted that Mike would never feel the same way. Mike wasn’t like him. Untouchable. Unavailable. A dead end. He’d made peace with that over 18 months ago when the world was ending.
But now Mike was here. And he was touching him. Looking at him like this. Like he wanted him.
And Will was too drunk, too raw, too undone to shove the feelings back down where they belonged.

Summary
It’s pouring rain and they have to bike home from school, both of them huffing and puffing and rapidly wiping their eyes to make sure they don’t crash into each other. It’s been about a month of careful avoidance and overly practiced politeness on both of their ends, dreading the inevitable conversation that’s to come about what happened in Mike’s bedroom.
Hey remember when we made out even though we’re both boys and we’ve been best friends since we were five and also you are dating my sister?
There’s just no way to bring that up casually in conversation.
or; Mike and Will spend roughly eighteen months making out and almost no time talking about it.

Summary
“It’s not like I don’t drink at college too, you know, I mean, just because I don’t go to frat parties, if you’re worried I’m going to judge you or something—”
“That’s not what—” Will huffed out a laugh, staring up at the ceiling. He turned around. “I go to gay bars, okay? It’s—just, not your scene. Obviously.”
Will’s face twisted on that last word, half a grimace. For some reason, it was a punch to the gut. Something defiant rose up within Mike.
“Well, do you have to be a card-carrying member to get in, or something?” he asked, eyebrows raised. “I mean, a bar’s a bar, right?”
Will’s face broke into an uncertain smile. “Mike…”
“I came here for the Will Byers New York experience,” Mike said, earnestly. “Am I going to get it, or what?”
Mike visits Will in New York and realizes a few things.

Summary
The boy shifts from one foot to another as he lingers on the threshold. “May I come in?” he repeats, more of a plea than a question.
Will clenches and unclenches the knife in his hand. “Tell me your name first.”
The boy curves his lips in the ghost of a smile. “Michael.”
Will lowers the knife a fraction, though he does not release it. His voice quivers: “Why me?”
Michael tilts his head again, and this time, his eyes glint just the slightest human. “Because you are alone. And so am I.”
Will holds his breath, then whispers: “You may come in.”
Just like that, he seals his fate in blood.

Summary
Will thinks about staying in bed. He thinks about beckoning Mike back into their room and rolling onto his stomach and having Mike push back inside him. He thinks about Mike moaning in his ear. Shoving his face into the mattress in that way that Will loves. Coming inside him. Dirtying him even more. Falling back asleep with Mike inside him and never leaving the bed, never leaving each other's arms. Food, coffee, life - it can all wait.
Sometimes Will worries that it’s becoming unhealthy. That he’s too obsessed, and that one day it’s all going to crash and burn. Or worse, that they will slowly fizzle out over time.Will becomes concerned that he wants Mike more than what's probably considered normal. Mike proves him wrong. Multiple times.

Summary
And this is the moment Will has been waiting for, the one thing that has motivated this entire exploration with dominance. One word, one syllable, five letters.
Will looks at Mike, eyes dark, hungry, and he says it, voice decadent and low.
“Kneel.”
***
A talk about religion doubling as a coded conversation about sex between Mike and Will at the Wheeler-Byers dinner table leads Will to find the courage to try some new things with Mike. He’s going to give being more dominant a try. He’s been Mike’s boyfriend for six weeks now and he’s been slowly wrapping his mind around how obsessed with him that boy is. Maybe it’s time he finally plays with that a bit.
A mix of softness and control, worship and obedience, trust is the common thread that help Mike and Will explore new avenues in their relationship, knowing that what they have is more sacred than organized religion could ever be.

Mike shivers. "Oh, fuck- don't."
"What?" he pants.
"Don't- don't say that."

"Mm- mmhm." He hums into Will's shoulder.
"Oh. ...Oh. You like that."

Summary
When his vision cleared, his eyes fell upon a new image so intimately familiar to him, and yet so unbelievably foreign. His instincts could spot an undead creature before his mind could be conscious of it, his blade of silver drawn before he even registered the sight. And he knew Will better than he knew himself. His cleric, his companion, his friend—he could feel his presence in the pitch dark, could pick him out by scent alone.
Mike did not need a working brain to recognize his best friend, nor did he need it to recognize a vampire when he saw one.
Or,
Mike the Brave is a vampire hunter. Will the Wise has just been bitten.
