Summary
Contrary to popular opinion, Jim Hopper did not hate Mike Wheeler. He supposed he understood where that misconception came from, with the way he treated him when he was dating El, but to be fair, he kind of deserved it. But he didn’t hate him. Did he love him? No, but he knew that he made Will happy. Will, his son who he loved, who had been through much more than anyone should ever go through. So if Mike could make Will happy, then Hopper was happy.
He did not, however, expect to be woken up at 1 am by a rain soaked Mike Wheeler standing on his front step.
or
The Wheelers overhear Mike telling Lucas about a date with a boy, they all freak out, and Mike goes to the Byers house in the middle of the night.

Summary
“If you’re done ogling my son, why don’t you aim at the target,” Hopper says with forced casualness, like he’s not actively melting Mike’s brain from embarrassment. He was just admiring his friend! Who has muscles now!! That’s a completely normal guy thing to do, if all the buff men in his dad’s Men’s Club magazines are anything to go by.
“Not. Ogling,” Mike grits out as Hopper pushes his elbows down not-so-gently. “And would you stop manhandling me?” He wishes Will were the one teaching him instead. He wouldn’t mind Will’s hands on-
Alarms blare in his head. ABORT ABORT.
Or: Mike Wheeler experiences the five stages of grief, gay panic, and death by emotional vulnerability (the horror!!)
