Boyfriend Mike Wheeler.. has always made sure to pull you aside from the group when needed. He does this to get your actual opinion on whatever the situation may be, other times to ask if everything’s okay, and overall to check up on you. Mike’s done this for as long as he can remember, and to no surprise, the whole gang has also teased you both about it for the longest time, too. At their big age, they still mimic kissing noises behind him—”Oh, Mike! MUAH MUAH”—Even going as far as singing the classic “kissing under a tree” song. It never fails to make Mike feel a sweat of embarrassment through him.
Boyfriend Mike Wheeler.. would often invite you to play dnd with the rest of the party. During matches, he’d always find some subtle and sneaky way of letting you win. This caused Mike to end up with the reputation of being a cheater, making the whole party keep a close eye on him whenever he played with them. Though he never said it, you could tell he never regretted letting you win.
Boyfriend Mike Wheeler.. made sure to haunt his entire household with the whole bunch of sad CD’s and Cassette playlists he’d made when you left for California. Although nowadays he can’t even properly remember the songs that were in the playlists, since, according to him, he had “trauma blocked it”, he had created a soap opera. He went as far as stealing Nancy’s boombox and Walkman for a good two weeks before finally returning somewhat normal.
Boyfriend Mike Wheeler.. is always carrying something for you on him. From previous events, he had learned from Nancy’s experience, and he always made sure to keep something in his bag or on him that could help: a small scrunchie on his wrist, a small snack in his backpack, maybe a comic book, just anything he thought you might need in any random situation. With the clear intention of wanting to help, he made sure to always double-check his bag for your stuff.
Boyfriend Mike Wheeler.. often found ways to talk to you even after your breakup with him. He knew the air was thick after Billy’s death and the group splitting up, but this didn’t really stop him from “subtly” finding excuses to talk to you, even with a broken heart. Small interactions like asking for a pencil, asking you for gum, what page the class was on, anything to get you to talk to him. The air was filled with tension and longing from both of you, a silence that had said it all.
Boyfriend Mike Wheeler.. isn’t the most confident or touchy person in a relationship. A lot of the time, you’re the one who pulls Mike out of his comfort zone when it comes to being touchy. Even in private, you're quick to lay your head on his chest, hold his hand, caress his hair, all while Mike sits there doing what he’s told to do. He’s not the best at showing his affection, but occasionally he’ll hold your hand in the middle of the hallways, sometimes pull you closer to him, wanting you closer to him out of natural protection.
Boyfriend Mike Wheeler.. has never really been the "matchy boyfriend” type of guy, so when you first suggested him to have a couple’s costume with you, he definitely had an opinion. The whole night he was bickering nonstop about how much he hated it—"this is what we’re wearing? wow. love that for us. c’monuhh couldn’t we just choose another costume??”—Then, for some reason, he was confused as to why you didn’t want to match again this year. He ended up apologizing what felt like a million times, and the least he could do was wear another embarrassing costume, so he did. He’d eventually get used to the costumes.
Boyfriend Mike Wheeler.. still gets nervous whenever you’re held on tight, riding on his bike. Although he’s never deliberately shown any sign of nervousness, he’ll sometimes forget which way to go; luckily, having Dustin in front of him leading the way, other times his hands get sweaty, legit every scenario going through his head; what if his hands slip and you both fall? What if you want to suddenly grab his hand?—All thoughts had been interrupted by your sudden squeeze on his waist. Although it seemed silly, having your arms wrapped over Mike always made him feel searched and wanted for, it was simple and sweet.
