can i get uhhhhhhh- Byeler and gang go swimming at that quarry. Will kinda drowns cause he doesn't know how to swim, but didn't wanna ruin anyones fun cause of how happy they looked. Mike acts like he did on Halloween night and is all like "I got him!" Then gives the smol bean mouth to mouth, to get him breathing again of course. Not because Mike wants to actually put his lips on another boys *nervous laughter* And afterwords they/Mike scold him for doing something so stupid. Then hug cause <3

Okay… this took an unexpected turn somewhere along the way, while also getting unexpectedly longer than I had originally planned (which is why I’m putting it under a ‘read more’), but I do hope you still like it!

You can also find this in my AO3!

It had initially been Max’s idea to go swimming at the quarry, August making it’s way in Hawkins and the temperatures rising to the point that it was too hot to go do something outside, leaving everyone sweating through their clothes and dampening their moods.

At first, everyone else, sans Will, had been a little skeptical about going to that quarry, seeing as they had seen Will’s, albeit fake, body being taken out from the water and the memory still left them with a bad taste in their mouths. But it didn’t take long for Max to convince them and it was on.

Will had stayed quiet throughout the whole talk, not knowing how to bring out the fact that he did, in fact, not know how to swim, as he has never had the chance to practice and actually learn. By the time he had wanted to protest against the idea, everyone was on board with it, clearly looking forward to spending their day in the water and refreshing themselves. So Will didn’t say anything at all, let them make the plans and adjust the day and time, resolving to just coming up with a plan and not let them know about his problem. He didn’t want to ruin their fun.

When will people start shipping Eleven and Dustin????? That way Byeler and Lumax can be happy together. And our wittle Dustin isn't alone anymore. Plus its cute as fuck.

bywheelers replied:

Okay, I gotta be honest, I have really not thought about this ship, it just never really called out to me, though I think that’s mostly because I make everything Gay ™.
It’s true that they are cute, but I can’t really say that I ship them. I like their friendship a lot, especially because he did accept El, after Mike obviously, pretty quickly and their scene this season was pretty cute but I can’t really say I see much between them beyond that 😅

hillerskabjarstad asked:

Do you have any headcannons abt byeler and will picking up smoking to deal with what's happened to him?

bywheelers replied:

I have to admit that smoking is really not something I usually like to write, I haven’t had that many fun encounters with it so I’m usually straying away from this topic because I don’t really think it’s a good copying mechanism BUT, that being said, I really can see Will actually doing it. 

______________

At first it’s just like a curiosity for Will, he sees plenty of people around him doing it to actually want to try it himself, especially now that he’s honestly so unsure of everything, it’s like he isn’t really himself anymore so he takes one from his mother’s pack when she isn’t looking and tries it. It goes about as good as one would expect first times to go. He inhales too much, too fast. He begins to cough violently, trying to regain some breath with difficulty, his eyes start to water and a fell droplets fall down his cheeks. 

Once he’s gotten over the initial shook of such an intense response from his body, he calms down and wonders what’s so good about smoking, if it’s practically made him feel like he was about to die. 

However, he doesn’t exactly let it go. He gives smoking a few more tries, getting more or less accustomed to the bitter taste and smell. It’s not like he does it often, just sometimes when he’s feeling particularly detached from everyone and everything around him. Smoking kind of brings him back to himself in a way, lets his mind rest and not think about the past. 

He doesn’t really tell anyone, either. He’s pretty sure no one would actually think him picking up smoking was doing him any good so he didn’t bother. He made sure that he was always alone when he actually picked one cigarette up and smoked it in quite places where he knew people didn’t really pass by. 

It’s Mike who first discovers his new affinity (it always seems to be Mike nowadays) and confronts Will about it. Like Will expected, Mike is not exactly happy with this new turn of events, and even though Will tries to explain that it helps him, Mike is not buying it. They kind of have a pretty bad fight about it, both of them yelling at one another, screaming raw all the things that they’ve kept bottling up in the aftermath of the Upside Down. 

No one really wins in these kind of fights, and neither feel like they’ve won anything other than spilling their guts to one another. It’s nice in a way, because now everything is in the open. They feel a kind of exhaustion fall over them, the fight having been pulled right from under their feet, so there’s a kind of silence that feels comfortable in a way. 

Will doesn’t really know which one of them moves first, or which one of them initiates the first contact but they meet halfway in the middle and before they understand what’s happening, they’re crying in each other’s arms, embrace tight and a new beginning opening up in their chests. 

Will does eventually stop smoking with Mike’s help, and from that moment on, there’s a new kind of connection between them that no one really understands but they’re content in the knowledge that they have one another, and that they can count on the other to help if anything happens again.

Honestly tumblr makes pretty shitty updates, like their latest worst idea: best stuff first, so it’s about damn time they begin to fix things that really need to be fixed. It sucks that it keeps making you nervous so hopefully it will get resolved soon!! Let’s cross our fingers >.

Imagine byler going ice skating and Mike's a hot mess on the ice because he's such a klutz. Will is so happy that Mike can't even be mad at his boyfriends teasing

bywheelers replied:

ajdafsfsnifusikuif I’m giggling like crazy just thinking about this omg 

Funnily enough, it had been Mike’s idea to go ice skating. Will was pretty skeptical at first since he hadn’t really ever done that before so he was pretty sure he was going to fail spectacularly at it. But Mike insisted, telling him it would be fun and that Mike would help him out if needed, and Will just couldn’t say no to Mike’s hopeful expression. 

Right now, he’s so glad he’d taken the idea because he’s having the time of his life. 

Mike is a complete klutz on the ring. He’s flailing about, his arms doing weird twitchy movements as to keep himself balanced. He’s trying very hard to move even an inch from the spot he’s been in for the past half an hour but even the smallest motion has his legs shaking and he’s probably about to fall any second now. 

Will, to his immense surprise, is perfectly stable on his feet and has already done a few laps around the ring before he went back to look for his boyfriend who hadn’t made much progress from where he left him. 

Mike does end up falling straight on his ass, Will not having had enough time to react and reach for him. He’s about to offer Mike a hand up before he hears him muttering curses and Will just about loses it. 

“These are the work of the devil I tell you. Why else would anyone think that moving around with blades on your feet would be a good idea? Yeah, I DON’T THINK SO.” And to complete the scene, Mike is failing so hard at getting back up. He’s on his hands and knees, working very hard on staying steady so he can put his weight on his feet again but fails every time and he stumbles around on the ice, grumbling and cursing more and more as he keeps on trying. 

And Will just can’t help it really, he starts to laugh harder than he’s ever done before. He’s clutching at his stomach, having doubled over when his laughter went up higher in volume. He tries to stop a few times, but it’s not working and the look of betrayal Mike keeps sending him isn’t helping at all. He can feel tears falling freely down his cheeks from how hard he’s laughing. 

Mike, who very slowly had managed to get back up on his feet, tries and fails to stay mad at Will, because really, it’s been such a long time since Mike has seen Will so happy and carefree than no matter how much he tries to make his eyebrows furrow, it doesn’t work and he ends up with a silly smile on his face. 

He’s happy Will is happy, even if it’s at his expanse. 

And anyway, Will does make up for it later by holding his hand the entire time they’re skating and not letting go for even one moment.

prompt: either coffee shop or mermaid AU for your otp

bywheelers replied:

I’m gonna do the coffee shop AU for byeler!
Note that they’re older in this, around 17-18.

In retrospect Mike should have thought better than to work in a coffee shop. It’s not like he entirely disliked it but having to smell the aroma of coffee for long periods of time every day really put a damper on his mood. In his opinion, coffee was a beverage born from the pits of hell, most like, what with it being bitter than anything else he’d ever tasted and no matter how he tried to sweeten it, it just didn’t work. 

The customers could also be a pain in his arse what with them complaining about anything and everything or ordering weird and with never ending names beverages that really tasted one’s patience when working on them. 

The only good thing, and what he looked forward to every single day without fail, was Will coming to visit him. Unlike Mike, Will had taken with gusto to drinking coffee and Mike made sure that every time Will drank that he gave him very disgusted side glances. Will only chuckled at Mike’s behavior but never called him on it, so Mike was not about to stop doing it. And talking about not stopping, there was also a routine they had developed over the course of Mike working in the coffee shop that they had yet to interrupt. 

Just like every other day, Will would enter the shop, he would look around until his gaze fell on Mike, he would give him one of his brightest smiles, the ones Mike knows that he’s not faking and are completely genuine, will approach Mike at the counter and order the very same thing that he asks for every day. 

And today is no different. 

Before he can ask for it, though, Mike beats him to the punch. “One caramel macchiato with extra whipped cream, right sir?” Will groans, and Mike can feel his lips lift up in a smirk. “Please, never ever call me that again. But yes, thanks.” 

Mike chuckles, but goes on to enter Will’s order on the computer. He takes a cup from his right and scribbles Will’s name on it, gives it to his coworker to do the coffee and goes back to the counter so he can chat with Will a little bit, especially since he’s lucky enough to not have any more customers. 

Right after his coworker finishes Will’s cup, Mike will go take it from him and will write something on the cup for Will. 

It had first started as a joke, sort of, wherein Mike had noticed that Will hadn’t been feeling that great lately and he just wanted to see him smile. An idea formed inside his mind, and from then on he had started to write funny things on Will’s cups just so he could see Will’s lips twitch and the corners lift up in a small but gentle smile. Mike had never felt prouder than right there and then. So, it had become routine and Mike had no intention to stop whatsoever. Quite the contrary, since he was about to write something very different and special for Will. 

Will, for his part, finds Mike’s small one liners very sweet and funny so he’s always excited to see what Mike has written for him. When he gets the cup, he moves it in his hands until he finds the writing. 

This time, however, he pauses after reading the note. Will can feel his heart start to beat widely in his chest, his eyes widening comically and a blush creeping up from the collar of his t-shirt up to the tips of his ears. He can feel his face go up in flames and he looks up from his cup, his eyes locking with another pair. He can see Mike fidget on the spot, worrying his hands with some cups he found on the counter, bitting his bottom lip and looking at Will with a hopeful expression on his face. 

Will is about to start crying right there in the middle of the coffee shop, his feelings overbearing, like a faucet that’s been on for too long and now water is dripping everywhere. He gives Mike a huge watery smile and answers his question.

(”Will you be my boyfriend?” with a weird looking heart drawn right next to Will’s name is written on the cup. Will only has one answer to give Mike and that is, “hell yes!”.) 

@snowcharminqs not really loading slows, more like when i go search for my post in the tags, it’s not there which sucks because that’s basically saying no one see it so i’m like thanks tumblr, you’re doing terribly :/ it’s obvious there’s something going on with tumblr lately but of course they don’t shit to fix it ;-; 

Anonymous asked:

How old are you if you don't mind me asking? I'm 23 and I ship byeler (just the fluff stuff) but idk if I should feel weird about it :/

bywheelers replied:

Well we’re almost the same age, since I’m 22 and really, as long as you ship ONLY the fluff and don’t go into sexual territory then it’s completely alright. I mean, thing about it this way: most of the fandom ships mileven which is also a ship with minors, just like byeler, and everyone is pretty much on board with the idea. So there’s nothing wrong with thinking they’re cute together. Just don’t go to the dark side and there will be nothing to feel weird about. 

stevestarks-deactivated20190130 asked:

the guy im kinda seeing watches stranger things his theory is eleven is the one creating the demogorgon. Right after season one i could've seen it.. but then i don't really know /:

bywheelers replied:

That’s actually a really interesting theory. I’m not sure if I could say that it could be true though because I can’t really see her creating these things, intentionally or not. However, what I do think is that her powers are conected to the Upside Down, and what I mean by that is that she got her powers through the Upside Down, like her powers originally come from there.

Her using them may be what makes the Upside Down so attracted to Hawkins, what make them stronger, what lets them come into the normal world and also why Eleven is always bleeding from her nose, because her own powers may be hurting her on the inside.

Though obviously we won’t know for sure until the show tells us more 😣
