As an apology for disappearing, here's a WIP of a project I'm excited for. Sorry about it again, I caught COVID, I'm dealing with college, AND I do live in capitalism.
Also please feel free to send in requests 👀
Tags/CWs: trans!Mike, FTM!Mike, pregnancy mention, mpreg (technically), securitywaiter, dreamtheory, I suppose trans phobia kinda??? It's the early 2000's but Ness is accepting, transvestite mention
This is NOT edited ‼️
No, no this can't be possible, Ness thought. In all reality, it was entirely possible. The couple didn't have a tendency to use protection. Mike never carried it around, never had the funds or the thought to, and Ness was... Ignorant. He knew of people like Mike. Trans... Transvestites? Wait, no. Transgender. That's right, Mike had to correct him often. He didn't care that Mike used to be a woman, Mike was a man where it counts.
He loved and accepted Mike, how could he not? Mike was the light of his world. He was more beautiful than when the sun began to rise, painting the valleys and hills in bright golden sunlight. More breathtaking than the first dusty snowfall on a winter's day. His rich, silky curls, ones Ness had tangled his fingers in tenfold, his sharp jaw and sweet crooked nose. Every inch, every detail, every fine line Ness loved feverishly.
Even now.
Even now as he held a positive pregnancy test. The end was wrapped in a towel, but the two Ruby red lines stared him in the face. Even now, as he glanced up at Mike, the antsy man, lip quivering and nibbling at his jagged fingernails, Ness loved him with every fiber in his being.
He blinked.
"How?" Was the first word to tumble out from Ness's lips.
It jolted Mike back to reality. Back to this very-real moment, despite his bout of disassociation. It didn't feel real. None of this did. Then again, neither did the couple's courting or unlikely relationship feel real from time to time. "Wh-What?" He sputtered out. "What do you mean how?"
"I... Mike-" Ness cleared his throat, shifting a smidge on the edge of the bed. Mike was towering over him for once, standing in the bathroom doorframe, bathing in the artificial warm light. Their gaze met, for just a moment. Ness felt his anxiety melt under Mike's hazel stare. "Don't get me wrong, I, uh... I understand what you are." Ness began, tripping over himself. He shifted more uncomfortably, picking at his hangnails. "I know you're a man, a-and I read plenty of books to... To understand."
Plenty would be an understatement. Ness checked out every single book he could at every library he had access to. He scouted the internet for any traces of people like Mike, for answers to his questions. So many of the resources claimed Mike was broken, wrong. That Mike needed to be "fixed". Hell, some argued sleeping with a man would somehow flip a switch in Mike's head and make him a woman again.
That was evidently false to Ness, especially now. Proof is in the pudding, and Ness had somehow knocked Mike up.
Women becoming men — or rather, men who just happened to be born in a woman's body — was rare. At least to the public eye. Especially so, with the date reading April of 2000. Ness never denied Mike's identity. In fact, he embraced it. Every single day he reminded Mike of who he was, calling him a "big strong man," "handsome fella," or even just "my boyfriend."
"So...?" Mike's voice drew Ness out of his swirling thoughts. His "mind palace" Mike and Abby often called it. His space where he asked far too many questions and investigated as he pleased.
"Oh, um... So, I just. How can you be pregnant? You're a man, Mike. You know that, I know that."

Trans!Male Bisexual Mike Wheeler (with added Byeler/Byler)
- Mike tells Will first
- He does like him after all, and it’s always easy to tell him secrets
- He tells his friend that he doesn’t feel right as a girl, and his heart jumps when Will just smiles and says, “What should we call you?”
- They’ve watched the Goonies so many times that they have all of the kids’ names memorized, and somehow they agree on the name Mikey, and from there, they shorten it to Mike
- They celebrate with cola and ice cream
- Mike’s so in love, and in the moment he can’t help himself so he starts to stumble his way through a confession involving lots of hand motions
- Will can only seem to look on with his mouth slightly open, in a state of shock as this happens
- Taking Will’s silence for rejection, Mike starts to back out, but Will is suddenly leaning over and kisses him on the cheek, pulling back with a tiny smile
- It’s probably the most surreal moment of Mike’s life, and he’s pretty sure his brain just short circuited
- He says this to Will, who laughs in amusement
- Then he asks him in a more serious tone to be his boyfriend
- Will, of course, says yes
- Later, Mike tells the rest of their friends, and they accept him with open arms
trans boy mike wheeler binds with sports bras but the party saves up money for a while... lucas mows lawns more often... dustin scrounges up some money around the house and does chores.. el robs a man (she assures the party its a bad man so he deserved it) to buy mike a binder because he always talks about how he wants one so bad. the day they all collect enough isn’t around his birthday or holiday season but they wanted to give it to him as soon as they collected enough so they all get together and tell mike they got enough money for it. he’s kinda overwhelmed with how much he loves his friends... they have to pile into steves car to drive a couple towns over to a big city and a particular store to buy it... looking at himself in the mirror with a binder for the first time makes mike so happy that he can’t stop smiling the entire day, and he hugged each one of the party members (and steve) like a million times that week
