    Summary

    “Uh-huh,” Mike says faintly, and he yelps when they narrowly avoid the edge of a shining skyscraper, and his hands clutch onto Spiderman instinctively. “Oh – my fucking God, that –”

    Spiderman’s fingers press a little firmly into Mike’s shirt. "Just – hang on!"

    "What do you mean just hang – was that a pun," Mike sputters, clutching onto Spiderman for dear life as they swing through the city, and he can hear the superhero laugh through the racing wind in his ears, the rumble of it under Mike’s arm wrapped around his middle.

    In a city of superheroes, Mike keeps running into Spiderman, much to his dismay.
    On a completely different and unrelated note, Mike also attempts to woo and charm his neighbor into a date.

    Summary

    “Look,” Will says, turning fully on the pallet to face Mike, one hand reaching down for the rough wood to find purchase and ground him. “Do you-, do you want to show me. Like-, like want to practice?”

    Mike’s eyes widen but he doesn't say anything.

    “Sorry, stupid idea, just wanted to help.” Will is trying to gather the words back up from the air between them and into his mouth.

    “I never thought it was stupid.” Mike says, so quietly it's not much more than an exhale. “I suggested it first.” He adds, like it's a secret.

    Will grips the pallet harder. “Show me. I really do want to help.”

    Mike bites his lip a sec, and Will thinks he's going to say no, but then Mike's darting forward and pressing his lips firm and quick against Will’s. It's barely a kiss. Not romantic. Not enough to leave a scar. Will bleeds anyway.

    -

    Or: Mike has been kissing Will on and off since they were seven. How are you supposed to recognise an avalanche when you are drowning in snowballs?

    Summary

    The invisible shoulder nudges him, and Mike wishes he'd taken the piece of paper to read what Will would've actually said, and then misses, more generally, Will's voice. His spoken word. Which is unfair - Mike's lucky he gets even this much, the cool brush on his arm, the creaks of his weight on the floorboards, the gentle drum of his fingers. Reminders. Will, inasmuch as he can be, is here, even if it will never feel like enough.

    Sometimes — he never tells anyone this — he shuts his eyes, tells himself that Will is alive, and sitting there, next to him, and the moment he tilted his head, they'd be face to face.

    He doesn't like opening his eyes, after that.

    Will is a ghost. Mike is haunted.

    Summary

    What's worse: being tormented by violent visions from Vecna or suffering from the mixed signals of Mike Wheeler? Depends on the day for Will Byers. Flashbacks of shared touches from last summer and the impending doom about the night to come have Will's head spinning as the party enter the Upside Down to enact Operation Beanstalk.

    Meanwhile, Mike Wheeler navigates his anxiety about the hellscape he's in and crashes out over the thought that Will had a crush on him and has since moved on.

    OR

    Mike walks over to him, reaching out his hand next to Will’s, enhancing the bulb’s flickering into a steady pulse. Their fingers brush, and the sensation sends a buzz of nerves up Will’s arm. Will lets himself savor it, thinking of Robin’s words. Signals.

    I’m going to die anyway, he thinks, letting himself keep his arm outstretched a few moments more. He isn’t looking at the lamp anymore though; Mike bends over, inches away, and Will’s gaze is the ocean tides to the moon in Mike’s eyes. Will tucks the stolen glance away, safe in the vault where he’s kept moments like this over the years and follows Mike’s gaze towards where his is fixated.
