Hello! This is probably a bit of a strange request, but could you write something about Mike and a young sibling!reader with family problems (especially with her older siblings) whose parents justify the abuse and the reader has nowhere to go?

I'm going through a horrible time with my family, and I thought maybe some fluff with Mike giving some support would lift my spirits.

Once again, I apologize if this is a very strange request.

Omg, I'm sorry to hear about your current situation, Anon. I really worked to get this out as soon as I could. I know what it's like to be in a less than ideal familial situation, so I hope this is able to lift your spirits, at least a bit.

Mike's POV

I wasn't sure how long we've been sitting here in this old treehouse, or how long I've been trying to comfort and apologize to [Name]. I just knew the light outside had long since faded away and the only source of light was the light flickering of the kerosene lamp in the corner. I wasn't sure why I was apologizing, exactly. I hadn't technically done anything wrong, but I still felt the need. On behalf of everyone else in our house who had wronged them.

[Name] looked... tired. Almost like the whole damn world was resting on their shoulders and they just didn't have the energy to carry on for the moment. Their eyes were downcast and clouded over, the whites of their eyes were laced with red, like the tears had only just stopped. I felt a surge of pity in my stomach. My little sibling. Broken down and bruised like a run over mule. The world really did fail in this case.

"Name.." I started hesitantly as I scooted across the wooded floor and sighed as I wrapped my arms around them. "It's not your fault."

"Then why does it feel like it is?" They said quietly, their voice warbled like their was an uncleared lump in their throat that made their speech slightly fuzzy. "Mom and dad keep telling me I deserve it. I guess I kinda do, I just... don't ever seem to do anything right."

Swallowing the sudden lump of bile that had formed in my own throat, I exhaled shakily and pulled them against me. "[Name.]"

"What?"

"It's not your fault." I repeated, in a soft yet firm tone. And it wasn't. The world had fucked them over by giving them such a shitty hand. It really wasn't their fault our parents weren't capable of giving them what they needed.

"But-"

"It's. Not. Your. Fault."

I saw right then that [Name]'s eyes glazed over with fresh new tears, their lips starting to tremble like they were just barely holding together. Silently, to let them know that it was okay to fall apart for the moment, I wrapped my arms around them. Just to show I would be here to hold them together while it felt like the entire universe fell apart around them.

And again, I was unaware of just how long we sat there, [Name]'s arms wrapped tightly around me while they buried their face into my shoulder, their sobs muffled by the steadily damping material of my jacket.

I didn't speak for a long while. I just pressed a few kisses to their forehead, the way any good big brother would do, and let them cry it all out. I sensed that really, a long hug and someone to cry to was really all they needed. I was more than happy to supply that for now, and if they needed it, I'd be here when they finally needed to talk. I'd be here to talk to them if they needed that, too.

I was their big brother. And I was sorry that I wasn't a better one to give them this sooner.

Mike has been acting very weird lately, like how he used to react to El being missing. He snaps at the tiniest things, gets irritated about simple stuff, stays rude and upset most of the time... he's just different and not like himself anymore.

At first, it seemed like it was probably because of the combination of puberty and the bleeding of hell into Hawkins altogether, but maybe there's something more to it, like he wants to disguise himself or is hiding away from something...from himself.

But as always, everyone is too upset and dazzled up with their own lives to pay attention or talk out with the boy, and Mike doesn't mind actually, it's always been this way and it's honestly better if no one gets to see through the mask he's wearing.

Until a fair evening when the family starts to have an early dinner and Ted starts to bicker about how he's going poor and poor in his studies and everything regarding life as each day goes by.

Ted being Ted, keeps saying the most nerve hitting comments one by one, like how Mike's so young and already on the path to failure, how he has no good future ahead of him or how he should be more like Nancy, in a calm manner whilst feasting on his chicken, of course.

But unlike all the other times, Mike genuinely snaps and throws his plate out of the table, breaking it, and everyone gets off guard by the sudden incident.

"YES! I'M A FAILURE, I ALWAYS HAVE BEEN, BUT IT'S NOT MY FAULT, I DIDN'T ASK YOU GUYS TO BRING ME IN THIS WORLD, YOU DID! AND NOW YOU'RE BICKERING CAUSE YOU CANNOT KEEP MANIPULATING YOUR "LITTLE BOY" TO OBEY YOU ANYMORE! I CAN'T DO THAT SO DON'T EVEN EXPECT ME TO!" and with that being said he storms out to his room.

Nancy, who's growing more and more astonished by her brother's behaviour, follows him with a rush and enters the room before he gets the chance to lock it.

"Mike, what the hell was that?"

"What the hell was what?"

"What is going on with you?"

"What do you mean by what is going on with me?"

"Mike what the hell just happened in the dining room? You just broke your f**king plate!" She snapped.

"Oh so now you're here to punish me because I broke mom's favourite plate? Fine I'll pay for it!" There he goes again, he's not the same kid anymore who would spend hours in the basement playing DND, or the naive yet smart kid Nancy once knew.

"Mike seriously what is wrong with you!?"

"EVERYTHING NANCY, EVERYTHING IS WRONG WITH ME! NOTHING IS RIGHT ABOUT ME! THAT'S WHAT YOU WANTED TO KNOW RIGHT? I'VE ADMITTED IT! SO NOW JUST GO TO YOUR ROOM AND TALK WITH JONATHAN OR STEVE OR WHATEVER! JUST LEAVE!"

"MIKE! WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON WITH YOU, SERIOUSLY! YOU'VE BEEN ACTING SO WEIRD THESE DAYS, WHAT'S GOING ON!?"

"Weird.." suddenly he's stressfully calm. "I told you already everything is wrong, dad was right, I'm a f**king failure, that's what's wrong with me".

Nancy's already drawn back by the confession "Mike.." she goes nearer and places a hand on his shoulder "you can talk to me you know".

He throws her hand away "talk to you!? You're the golden child Nancy, you would never understand!" He snaps again.

"Mike-" "No! Don't Mike me right now! You'll never understand, no one ever will, I don't deserve to be here, to exist, I don't belong anywhere, I'm an outcast, a monster!" it looks like he's trying to hold back his tears.

But instead of being sympathetic, Nancy's voice is stern "MIKE! NONE OF THAT IS TRUE, YOU KNOW THAT! YOU'RE NOT A MONSTER!" And when Mike dared to look back at her eyes, he realised that she's been trying to hold back her tears too. She feels so ashamed of herself, for letting Mike lock himself out, far away from the world, from the people he cares about and the people that care about him, for him to be so alone, so scared, to think he doesn't belong, to shrink in pain every passing second, but she has come here to fix it and she will

Nancy sits on the bed and makes him sit right beside her too. "Mike..what happened?" "Nothing" he replies, but she isn't letting go this time "Mike. What. Happened?" There's determination in her voice and Mike's not sure if he can escape it, but he tries, tries to lock himself in once more.

"I don't know, it doesn't matter". He lies. "YOU DON'T KNOW? IT DOESN'T MATTER, MIKE? WELL IT MATTERS TO ME! MY LITTLE BROTHER'S SAYING HE FEELS LIKE AN OUTCAST, A MONSTER, LIKE..LIKE HE DOESN'T BELONG AND YOU'RE SAYING IT DOESN'T MATTER?" she snaps again, and Mike spots a tear trickling down from one of her eyes.

He feels bad for not telling her the truth, but he can't, as much as he hates to admit it, he knows that Nancy's going to hate him if she gets to know WHO he is, or WHAT he's like, and he doesn't want his sister to hate him.

"You wouldn't understand"

"Then try to make me"

"You won't understand Nancy! There is something so wrong with me, I am broken! I've tried to fix myself, I've tried to fit in but I can't! I don't know how to!"

"Mike-"

"And if I tell you, you are going to hate me too, I just know that"

"MIKE!"

He jolts by her tone and looks up to her just to see that tears are spilling out of her eyes with seemingly no end, and for a slight moment Mike wants to comfort her but that would be totally out of context.

"DON'T EVER SAY THAT AGAIN! DON'T YOU EVER EVEN DARE TO THINK THAT! I AM NEVER GOING TO HATE YOU! NEVER EVER! YOU'RE NOT A MONSTER BUT EVEN IF YOU WERE ONE, I WOULDN'T HATE YOU!"

For a millisecond, Mike thinks she'll understand but then again he's too afraid to risk it, he knows that if he tells her, she's simply gonna walk away and never talk to him again, maybe she wouldn't tell their parents, but it would still be horrifying to see her every day and get reminded of how the ice between them almost finally broke but he destroyed it because he's so damn disgusting. But he knows Nancy, and he knows that she's not gonna leave him alone, so he decides to spill it before he starts understanding how much his sister genuinely cares for him and loves him, in more depth. Like ripping off a bandaid.

His heart is almost bursting out of his chest and he's on the verge of a panic attack, still he's ready to go and make Nancy hate him.

"You don't understand Nancy I'm gay! I'm a f***king faggot" he's crying now, there's no reverse button in life, he has already doomed everything.

"SO!? I KNOW IT MIKE IT DOESN'T CHANGE ANYTHING! DID YOU REALLY THINK I'M GONNA HATE YOU FOR THIS? YOU'RE MY LITTLE BABY BROTHER, MIKE, AND YOU THOUGHT I WOULD HATE YOU FOR BEING GAY!?" He looks up to her and he internally breaks, not like he's damaged-broken, but he's sad-broken, because Nancy's not only spiling tears right now, but she's wholeheartedly crying, gasping-crying.

He's also crying just like her and he's so glad and surprised and relieved it's like a 404 error, he doesn't know what to do, he doesn't know what to say but he knows he needs to say something, cause Nancy's crying and he feels like a bad guy for thinking she would hate him.

"Nancy I-" before he even gets the chance to finish, Nancy pulls him into a hug and even though she's practically crushing him by hugging him so tight, he doesn't mind at all, in fact he feels like he's finally able to breathe after ages so he just leans into her hugging her tighter and sobbing hard recklessly.

"Mike, I'm so sorry that you had to feel like you couldn't talk to me, to leave you alone in this bullshit hell hole to suffer all alone, to make you feel like a monster for never checking up on you and for always being so indulged in my own life that I barely come to know about what's happening in your life, for-for being such a selfish person, I know I don't even deserve to be your sister, you're such a good kid and kind hearted person Mike. Gosh, you're a paladin, a literal paladin, you're the heart of the party who cares about his loved ones so so much, who would do anything to protect the people he loves. And Mike, I know it's usually always the other way around, and I'm sorry that I couldn't give you a chance to say that but I truly look up to you, and I am so so so proud of you, bub, and honestly it feels so weird to call you my little brother cause you're so tall and big but it feels like you were a kid just yesterday, learning ABC's from that little phonics book you had, and it's hard to believe that it has been so long gone, I just wish I could've kept you little for just a little while longer, I wish I could play barbies with you for a little bit more time, I wish I talked to you and hugged you even more, I wish I hadn't turned away from you, I'm so sorry Mike for growing apart and distant, and I can't even blame it on my age, that is totally on me, and even if you don't or can't forgive me I just want you to know that I'm really very sorry. You're so grown now, you've literally been through hell and back, and still doing so that it's almost hard to believe that you're still that tiny marshmallow that couldn't pronounce my name and used to call me Nanny, but still deep inside I know that you are still him, you're still my baby brother and Mike, I know I don't say it as much as I should, and right now you might have a hard time believing me but I love you so much, I really really do." To be honest, Mike didn't know that, maybe when they were children he did know that, but they've gone through such huge metamorphosis in their own lives, he doesn't know it anymore, but he believes her, he truly entirely does, but he's sobbing so bad right now, he is in no state to speak so he only clutches to her tighter, sobbing even harder.

Mike is so overwhelmed by everything, how everything's going okay, and maybe even more than okay, by how everything's fixing, all this time, he felt like a mistake and right now someone's telling him he's not a mistake, that he's valued and that somebody looks up to HIM, and it's not just someone, it's Nancy, the golden child in his family, the best student in his school, an aspiring journalist, a badass who can almost win any battle, who kicked off Vecna's ass. Nancy Wheeler is saying she looks up to him and is proud of him, that really is such a big achievement on its own, but then again at this moment he knows that Nancy is no one apart from just his big sister, his superhero sister, his first best friend, his sister, his Nance, his Nanny.

But as much as he loves everything, he absolutely hates the way Nancy looks at herself, or how she thinks she's worthless because that's a lie, she's amazing everybody knows that, and he would never ever admit it yet he feels disgusted by the thought of Nancy thinking she couldn't give him a reason to look up to her, cause he's been looking up to her since God knows when. But for a fact, he knows she's not lying or making that part up to show him his better sides because that's exactly the way he feels about himself too, he just knows that they need to be there for each other and be each other's mirrors to show them their real true and wonderful selves.

"Mike I would never hate you, I could never do that even if I wanted to, and I would never want to. We're gonna fix everything that's hurting you okay? We're gonna fix it together I promise, and this time I promise to keep the promise, it's a promise."

Mike's already relieved and glad that she doesn't hate him for being gay, but one thing he's also super grateful for is how it's Nancy he's confiding too, or who has practically forced him to confide into them but be doesn't mind anymore, instead he feels like he's at peace and a huge burden has been removed from his chest, not only the burden of coming out, but the burden that had captivated him to reach out and talk to his sister, from hugging her because of the unsettled awkwardness that was reserved between them for a while, a long long while. He subconsciously envied Jonathan and Will or Lucas and Erica's relationship and bonding, but the same old awkwardness stopped him from achieving the same bond which he had with Nance before the world turned to massacre, or more like before she went to highschool, but right now her warmth was enough to calm him down and making up for all those lost time, he finally feels like he's home after a long long long period of time, he feels safe.

They sit their hugging and crying for what feels like ages until Nancy speaks again and they slowly start to pull away from each other "And just so you know, if anyone says anything, there's a reason why I've got a Russian mackarov in my room". He chuckles at that and pulls away finally.

"How did you know?"

"Know what? About you being gay?"

"...yea"

"Mike come on, I am your sister"

He raises an eyebrow

"What? You don't believe I'm your sister?" She lets out a dry chuckle.

He sighs in annoyance.

"Fine. I might or might not have read your unsent letter to Will"

"Hey! That's an invasion of personal space! That's a crime!"

"Ha! Says the one who used to steal from my piggy bank on a daily basis"

"Dude! That's not the same!"

"Dude that's not the same~" she mocks

He stares again in disbelief, though he doesn't hate it as much as he should considering everything .

"Now go grab me a glass of water, I'm thirsty from all the tears I just shred!"

"What!?"

"What what? Go bring me some water, I'm thirsty" She shoo shoos with her hand to try to drive him away but he doesn't budge.

She sighs in disappointment and ruffles his hair vigorously "Come on little big guy, get me a glass of water, go!"

He keeps his eyebrows knitted together but heads towards the door anyway.

"Hey umm Nance?"

"Hmm?"

"I'm sorry. I-I mean thank you, and...I love you too"

She smiles and audibly whispers "doofus"

He goes outside the room but pokes his head almost instantly.

"Um also, if money's missing again from your piggy bank, hehe"

Her eyes widen and she throws out a pillow at him.

"Ow!"

"Michael Jeremy Wheeler, I hate you so much!" and with that being said, she starts chasing him because no matter how much she loves him, she will never be able to not hate him cause that's what siblings are.

Can you imagine the mind bender it would be if it really were revealed that the Wheelers are connected to the Creels somehow in season 5? Like the trauma it would create in Nancy and Mike to realize that their best friends being the first victims of Vecna was deliberate and not random.

#like idk if i take as a really theory yet #but imagine the ANGST #the HORROR #the way Nancy might completely shut down to have her guilt “confirmed”#anyway #just a thought #nancy wheeler #mike wheeler #wheeler siblings #stranger things #st #byler

So Nancy and Mike’s relationship is complicated due to a whole lot of things but I’ve had this thought for a while and it’s that Nancy definitely could’ve told Mike, “it’s not my fault you don’t like girls” at some point and that’s what started to break their relationship. Because they were chill with each other at one point, first episode of season one we are told (by Dustin) that Nancy used to be cool. But the rain fight feels like Mike projecting and it feels like he’s head those words before from someone else because that was said with a whole lot of anger that he immediately regretted directing at Will.

I just think it’d be, at the very least, a neat concept for like a fic or something, y’know?

#byler #mike wheeler #Nancy wheeler #been thinking about Mike a lot lately #and Nancy is an older sibling #the oldest sibling #so that means she’s probably been directing a lot of anger towards mike #that’s actually meant for her parents #but neither of them understand that because it’s easier to blame each other #than to admit that the people who raised them were wrong the whole time #but also I am a fool for angst #and stuff like this lives in my head #rent free

asking abt the sad wheeler sibling thing

i am in the business of ruining everyone's (especially nic's @messrsbyler) day with sad wheeler sibling ideas so here is my pitch for a book 4 scene

(on a side note. i need to like. probably explain this more in terms of my thoughts on themes in the books but that's another ask for later lol. in my brain this series goes something like

Book 1: Water

Book 2: Earth

Book 3: Fire

Book 4: Air)

so, we're to book 4 now, and we're near the beginning of the plot that occurs in this book. henry returns to hawkins, and long and short of it, somehow, el/will/mike end up fighting him, somewhere separated enough to where the others can't help (or the others are preoccupied by spirit attacks. don't ask me the how all this happened/what the set up is yet bc i have Not One Clue lol).

el is obviously the primary one fighting henry, while will and mike are there trying to help keep spirits from her, and one way or another, el gets up getting injured and knocked unconscious by henry. so now, will, who is still trying to figure out his own connection to the spirit world and the abilities that this connection gives him, is forced to fight henry. it becomes very, very clear though that henry is far too powerful since he manages to toss will aside—though not injuring him as badly as el gets injured, just knocking him out for a few moments.

and henry turns to mike and begins attacking him, which i talk about more here. will is partially conscious but unable to get up because he's still out of it, so he's watching in horror as henry does to mike what he did to max (and what he did to will, a couple years ago). with all three of them now rendered useless or close to dead, henry leaves, to do what? no clue, i'll figure it out later or maybe nic will!

after seeing mike fall back to the ground, will manages to crawl over to him, and he quickly realizes mike isn't breathing, so he desperately starts trying to save mike. i think about this scene as a parallel of sorts to the lucas trying to save max scene, except while lucas was only able to keep max's heart beating, will is only able to help mike breathe but not restart his heart. he's crying, begging mike to hold on, and screaming for anyone to come help him.

nancy's the first to find them, and will, panicked and breathless and crying, begs her to come help—because nancy can bend lightning. she can restart mike's heart and help save him. will needs her to help him save mike. he needs nancy.

but this is nancy, and god, i hope everyone knows that i love nancy wheeler with my whole heart and also that i love gray areas. because nancy sees that el is unconscious too, sees a pool of blood around the avatar, and it's her first instinct not to go to mike but to go to el.

and nancy quickly realizes el's heart has stopped, el isn't breathing, and they're about to lose el too. they're about to lose the avatar—the only person who can beat henry.

if they lose el, it's game over. henry will take over the world long before the next avatar comes along, and he'll always be one step ahead of them. his deep connection to the spirits will help him find the next avatar long before anyone else does. they cannot lose el.

and nancy knows this.

so even though her little brother is there, pale and lifeless and only breathing because of will's airbending, nancy makes the hard call. how is it always her being forced into these situations? how is nancy always having to choose between duty/the bigger picture/what will matter most in the long run and the people she loves and cares about? and sure. nancy has never been that close to mike. they've struggled their whole lives to get along, and their firebending has always been a point of contention—the unfortunate result of their parents' expectations and inability to show either of them genuine love.

but this is still her little brother. and nancy wants to scream, because this isn't fair, but there's no doubt in her mind what she needs to do. el comes first. restart el's heart. ignore will's screaming and begging for her to help mike. block out the sight of mike's body, limp in will's arms. just focus. do what has to be done.

nancy chooses el, but really, nancy chooses the avatar. nancy chooses the world.

(but will chooses mike.

every. single. time.)

#andi's asks #your wheeler sibling angst for you #i love a good morally gray situation #and i don't think nancy's in the wrong here #she did what she had to do #but it's heartbreaking #atlagate #stranger things/avatar au
