Summary
Those protective instincts kick in and Mike can’t help himself as a crazy, irrational idea takes root in his mind.
An idea that has absolutely nothing to do with seeing Will practically naked in a speedo two nights a week for an entire year. Nope. Definitely not.
“What if I joined the team with you?” Mike blurts, reddening.
Or:
Will and Mike join the Hawkins High swim team in their senior year, spend waaaay too much time together in teeny tiny speedos and one thing leads to another at the pool…

Seven Minutes in Hell (or Heaven?) with Mike Wheeler by sunkissedlover

Summary
Stacey’s party invite can’t be ignored. Mike is pouting about it. Will wants to get white-girl-wasted. There’s a charge in the air. Who will make the first move?
OR:
What happens after lasagna?
------------
Excerpt:
“Jeez did you two have a fucking fight in the closet? That’s… so unbelievably far from what you’re supposed to do when playing seven minutes in heaven, guys,” Dustin says, exasperated, “it’s not supposed to be real, it’s a fantasy – you make out in the dark, leave it in the closet and move on.”Except there was no way Will could move on from what just happened.
Seven minutes in heaven?
Fuck that.
More like seven minutes in hell.
Confusion, confession, and what felt like an almost kiss?
Actual torture.

Summary
“We used to tell each other everything,” Mike says, as tears form in his eyes. He wants to hide them, he doesn’t want to burden Will, but he has to keep going. Instead of pushing them down, this time he lets them go.
“I have to… tell you something too,” Mike says as a tear tumbles out of his left eye and onto the pillow.
And here it is. He’s right at the precipice of it. He flashes to that day on the cliff edge. This feels like that – a point of no return. A decision that can’t be undone. He tries to remind himself that Will did it, in front of half of Hawkins for Christ’s sake, Mike should be able to tell Will. Will, who is holding his hand.
“I-“ Mike falters, “I don’t know how to say this.”
OR
What if Mike and Will had one night to sort out their feelings before the battle in the Upside Down.
This takes place after Ep 7 and Will’s coming out scene (Lets ignore the finale shall we?)Series

“That I was your crush.”
OR
Tomorrow is Nov 6th, 1987. Jonathan, Nancy, Mike and Will head back to Mike’s house to try and sleep before the coming battle. Mike and Will have a heart-to-heart in Mike’s basement and the secrets between them are finally revealed.

Summary
This is a 2-parter set mid-S5, imagining if Mike and Will had one night to confess their feelings before they fight Vecna. So, not canon-compliant but canon-adjacent.
Part I is from Will's POV, Part II is from Mike's POV. They're essentially the same story but since we follow each of them separately during their POV there are some slightly different scenes in each one, plus you get their thoughts when its their POV.
Heavy on the fluff and angst.

So yeah, his timing is shitty, and Eleven is important to him, but the thing is, Will is everything to him. There’s no comparison.

Summary
Mike’s no stranger to the supernatural and surreal. Few things frighten him anymore, but facing his complicated feelings and himself is particularly terrifying.
When Mike Wheeler’s doppelgänger, Michael the Brave, tumbles out of another dimension and into Mike’s bedroom, he teaches Mike a little something about loving Will Byers—and himself.
Or, simply: Mike takes the phrase “go fuck yourself” very, very seriously.
