warnings. mild language, social anxiety, fluffy awkwardness.
‧₊˚ ୨୧ mina speaks. based on faye webster’s song “dream with a basketball player.” merry christmas those who celebrate & happy new year.
i saw you first during lucas’s game last month. you were standing at the edge of the court, wearing your cheer uniform, waving your pom-poms in sync with the rest of the team. but for me, you didn’t blend in — you stood out. the way you smiled, like it didn’t matter if your team was losing or winning, it hit me. i couldn’t look away.
since then, it’s been … bad.
❝dude, you have to stop staring,❞ dustin said during lunch one day, waving a fry in front of my face. i blinked, realizing i’d been watching you across the cafeteria again. ❝it’s borderline creepy at this point.❞
❝i’m not staring,❞ i muttered, looking down at my tray, heat rising to my face.
shit, max is here. why did she decide to sit with us today?
max, sitting next to him, rolled her eyes. ❝no, dustin’s right. you’ve been mooning over her for weeks, mike. either do something about it or stop whining.❞
❝just because i don’t sit with you everyday doesn’t mean i can’t see how obvious you are drooling over her.❞
❝i’m not whining,❞ i protested, but they both gave me a look. i groaned, slumping forward. ❝it’s not like she’d ever go for someone like me, okay? she’s …she’s perfect. and i’m just —❞
❝a nerd?❞ max supplied helpfully.
❝thanks,❞ i grumbled.
dustin leaned in, lowering his voice like he was about to deliver some top-secret intel. ❝listen, y/n’s cool. cooler than you, sure. but she’s not, like, untouchable. she talks to lucas all the time, right?❞
❝lucas is on the team.❞
❝exactly. so you already have a connection.❞
max smirked. ❝just go up to her and say, ❝hi, i’m mike, and i think you’re really pretty. want to hang out sometime?❞ see? easy.❞
❝not easy,❞ i muttered. ❝she’d laugh in my face.❞
❝or,❞ dustin said, ❝she might not. look, dude, the worst that can happen is she says no.❞
i didn’t want to admit it, but they were right.
it took another week — and a shit ton of convincing — but eventually, i agreed to let them help me.
max decided the best plan was to catch you after school when you weren’t surrounded by your cheer squad or basketball players. i was already regretting this.
we spotted you at your locker, stuffing books into your bag.
❝okay,❞ max whispered. ❝just walk up and say hi. be normal. don’t overthink it.❞
❝don’t overthink it,❞ i repeated under my breath. easy for her to say. my palms were sweaty, and my heart was pounding like i’d just run a mile.
i approached slowly, each step feeling heavier than the last.
❝uh, hey,❞ i blurted out when i reached you. smooth. real smooth.
you looked up, surprised but not annoyed. ❝oh, hey. mike, right?❞
you knew my name? that alone nearly made me short - circuit.
❝yeah, that’s me,❞ i said, my voice cracking slightly. i cleared my throat. ❝uh, i just … i wanted to say hi.❞
❝hi,❞ you said, smiling. ❝how’s it going?❞
❝good! great. i mean, yeah. you?❞
you laughed softly, and it was the nicest sound i’d ever heard. ❝i’m good. tired, though. practice was brutal today.❞
❝yeah, i bet,❞ i said, nodding like an idiot. then, before i could chicken out, i added, ❝so, uh, i was wondering if … maybe you’d want to hang out sometime? like, get a milkshake or something?❞
your eyebrows raised, and for a second, i thought i’d made a huge mistake. but then you smiled again, and it felt like the sun had come out.
❝sure, mike. that sounds fun.❞
❝really?❞
❝really,❞ you said, pulling a pen from your bag and scribbling your number on a scrap of paper. ❝call me, okay?❞
i nodded, speechless, as you handed me the paper and walked away.
later, dustin and max found me standing in the same spot, still holding the paper like it was a golden ticket.
❝you did it!❞ dustin cheered, clapping me on the back.
max smirked. ❝told you it wasn’t that hard.❞
maybe it wasn’t. but to me, it felt like a miracle.

— COINCIDENCE
written by mina leigh ୨ৎ , mike wheeler 𝔁 f! reader | wc 1400
summary. mike wheeler isn't the same boy he was last year. the hellfire club and d&d are his only escape from feeling like a nobody in his own school. she's hawkins high's brightest star, leading the cheer squad with a confidence that lights up every hallway, but when she stumbles upon mike during one of his campaign sessions, curiosity sparks-can two people from different worlds find common ground?
labels. popular cheerleader reader, extrovert reader, introvert mike, shy mike, touchy and affectionate reader.
warnings. add any if necessary
‧₊˚ ୨୧ mina speaks. sabrina carpenter’s short n sweet album. i love it! my favorite songs have to be taste, good graces, juno, and don’t smile. enjoy ♡
hawkins high hadn’t changed much. the same squeaky floors, the same buzzing fluorescent lights, the same faces in the hallways. but to mike wheeler, it felt like an entirely different world. the one where he fit in had disappeared, replaced by one where he was just … invisible.
he hadn’t meant for it to happen. friendships drifted, people changed. lucas found a place on the basketball team, max had her own battles, el and will now resided in california, and mike? mike had the hellfire club.
most days, he liked it that way. the campaign room was a sanctuary, filled with laughter, dice rolls, and the kind of camaraderie he didn’t find anywhere else. but today? today was different.
the door creaked open, and he froze mid-sentence. ❝… roll for initiative.❞ his voice wavered slightly, eyes flickering toward the intruder.
it was her. y/n l/n, the girl everyone noticed. the head cheerleader, with that bright smile and the confidence that seemed to glow wherever she went.
she shouldn’t be here. this wasn’t her world.
her gaze swept over the room, lingering on the chaos of the game board and the scattered dice. ❝sorry, am i interrupting?❞ her voice was light, almost teasing.
dustin answered before mike could. ❝yeah, kinda. but, you know, stay if you want.❞ he grinned, clearly amused by the sheer absurdity of her being there.
mike’s cheeks burned. he ducked his head, pretending to be focused on the game. but he felt her eyes on him.
❝actually, i was looking for you,❞ she said, directing her words toward mike.
his head shot up. ❝me?❞
❝yeah. can we talk?❞ she gestured toward the hallway.
every pair of eyes in the room was on him. dustin gave an exaggerated eyebrow raise, and eddie leaned back in his chair, smirking.
❝uh … sure.❞ mike mumbled, pushing himself to his feet. his heart pounded as he followed her out.
the hallway was quieter, the hum of distant chatter fading as they walked further. she stopped near the trophy case, turning to face him.
❝so,❞ she started, crossing her arms over her chest, ❝what’s the deal with that game?❞
mike blinked. ❝what? d&d?❞
she nodded, a small smile playing on her lips. ❝yeah. it seems … interesting.❞
he didn’t know how to respond. was she messing with him?
❝why do you care?❞ his voice came out sharper than he intended.
her smile faltered for a moment before softening again. ❝i don’t know. i guess … i’ve seen you around. you always look like you’re having fun with your friends. and, well, it looks nice.❞
mike stared at her, trying to process her words. he wasn’t used to people outside of his circle being curious about his world. especially not her.
❝it is fun,❞ he admitted, his voice quieter.
her eyes lit up. ❝see? i knew it.❞ she stepped closer, leaning against the wall beside him. ❝it’s cool that you guys have something like that.❞
he shifted uncomfortably. ❝yeah, i guess. most people just think it’s nerd stuff.❞
❝who cares what most people think?❞ she shrugged. ❝you like it, right? that’s what matters.❞
his heart did a weird flip at her words. he wasn’t sure if it was her tone or the way she was looking at him —like she genuinely meant it — but something about this moment felt different.
❝thanks,❞ he said awkwardly, scratching the back of his neck.
she smiled again, this time brighter. ❝anytime.❞
for a moment, they stood in silence, the weight of the school around them feeling far away.
❝so,❞ she broke the quiet, ❝you gonna teach me how to play?❞
mike blinked. ❝you want to play?❞
❝why not?❞ she laughed, bumping his shoulder lightly. ❝maybe it’s time i tried something new.❞
he hesitated. ❝i don’t know … it’s kind of complicated.❞
she raised an eyebrow. ❝are you saying i can’t handle it?❞
his lips twitched into a small smile. ❝no, just… it might not be your thing.❞
❝let me be the judge of that, wheeler.❞ she grinned, and for a second, he forgot why he was nervous.
the following week, she showed up at hellfire. dustin’s jaw practically hit the floor, and eddie looked like christmas had come early. but mike? he was nervous.
still, y/n fit in better than he expected. she laughed at their jokes, asked questions about the game, and even rolled her first dice with an enthusiastic cheer.
by the end of the session, she was leaning into mike’s side, her hand resting lightly on his arm as she whispered, ❝this is actually fun.❞
his heart raced at the contact, but he managed a nod. ❝told you.❞
❝you’re a good teacher,❞ she teased, her fingers squeezing his arm gently.
he swallowed hard, feeling a warmth spread through him. ❝you’re a good student.❞
she smiled, resting her head against his shoulder for a moment. ❝thanks for letting me crash.❞
❝thanks for wanting to,❞ he replied, his voice soft.
over the next few weeks, y/n kept coming back. not just to hellfire, but into mike’s life. she’d find him in the hallway, throw her arm around him, and drag him to sit with her at lunch.
people stared. they whispered. but she didn’t care, and somehow, neither did he.
❝you’re different,❞ she said one afternoon, walking with him after school.
❝different how?❞ he asked, curious.
❝different good,❞ she clarified. ❝you don’t try to be someone you’re not. i like that.❞
mike felt his cheeks heat up. ❝thanks.❞
she stopped walking, turning to face him. ❝i mean it.❞
he met her gaze, her sincerity hitting him hard. ❝you’re… different too.❞
her smile widened. ❝different good?❞
he nodded. ❝yeah. definitely.❞
she stepped closer, her hand brushing his. ❝you know, i think we make a pretty good team.❞
he glanced down at their hands, his heart pounding. ❝yeah … we do.❞
her fingers intertwined with his, and suddenly, hawkins high didn’t feel so overwhelming anymore.
