    Summary

    The weight of Mike’s touch grounds him, tugs his mind out of the Upside Down and brings it back here—in Hawkins, looking into Mike’s eyes as the world crumbles around them.

    Or

    The end draws near. The Mindflayer beckons. Mike and Will cling to love against the dying of the light.

    Summary

    "Oh, right. You're not my Mike."

    "…huh?"

    Will sighs, moving his hand back to his chest, settling it comfortably under his chin.

    "I thought you were," he continues, like what he was saying made any sense and he wasn't talking about Mike to Mike like they were two different people, "for a moment, at least. But my Mike doesn't look like you. Doesn't act like you."

     

    or: after the fight at the MAC-Z, Will can feel his bones breaking even though they're completely fine and gets fed a heavy dose of painkillers that might as well function as a truth serum too.

    Summary

    “I won’t tell him,” she says softly. “Any of them. About any of it.”

    Will looks up with surprise. “Why?” he asks.

    Nancy just gives a tight smile, but in her eyes, something deeper brews. “You keep my secret, and I’ll keep yours,” she responds.

    Will doesn’t really understand much about Nancy Wheeler at all. But Will’s happy to be her secret keeper, so he nods.

    OR,

    At the end of the world, makeshift living arrangements push the unexpected together, and a new Byers-Wheeler alliance forms.

    Summary

    Mike leaned back slightly, gripping the chains, staring up at the sky as it shifted from blue to purple. He thought about everything they’d lost and everything they’d somehow kept. About how Will had been brave in ways Mike still didn’t understand. About how he’d almost lost him, more times than he could count.

    “I was really scared,” Mike said suddenly, before he could stop himself.

    Will turned to look at him. “Of what?”

    “Of losing you,” Mike admitted, his voice quieter now.

    💕💕💕💕

    Mike starts kissing Will on the cheek. He tells himself it’s about comfort, about making sure Will is still here. He tells himself it doesn’t mean anything at all.

    He is very wrong.

    Summary

    “Dude,” Dustin says, sounding kind of horrified but also kind of delirious with elation. “Oh my God, you like him. You like Will. Will. As in, our Will. Our best friend Will.”

    “I do not–” Mike tries, even though he’d kind of just admitted to accidentally kissing Will Byers, a little, so maybe that’s an entirely fruitless road to go down.

    Listen. No one should ever let Mike make decisions right after he wakes up from a nap, okay? Especially not decisions where Will is concerned. This is so not his fault.
