    Summary

    "“Lucas talks about you all the time. He just forgot to mention that the pictures don't really do you justice.”

    Will just laughed, shaking his head, trying to play it cool despite the sudden warmth in his cheeks. “Sure, Mike. I’m sure you tell every person in a five-mile radius whatever they want to hear to keep your guest list full.”

    “You're definitely special,” Mike said without missing a beat, leaning his forearm against the counter next to Will, closing the distance between them. “But if you’re worried about my sample size, feel free to ask around. I don't usually look at anyone the way I'm looking at you right now.”

    Will raised an eyebrow, letting out a soft huff. “Oh, please. I bet you have that exact script memorized for your pledges during orientation.”

    “Ouch. Harsh,” Mike teased, a dimple flashing in his cheek. “I’ll have you know I’m completely improvising. You just happen to be very inspiring.”

    “Is that your way of saying you’re out of practice?” Will shot back, a sharp, playful glint in his eye.

    Mike let out a low chuckle, clearly loving the pushback. “Far from it."

    Summary

    Silence. Hungry, carnivorous—or maybe cavernous, vast and lined with teeth, ready to bite. The quiet before the storm, the gasped breath in before the heart stops. Tragedy tastes bitter. Blood tastes like pennies. Both are in the air, promises coating the tongue. Something bad is about to happen.

    From beneath the bed, something reaches out—a mass of darkness, a shapeless nothing—and it grabs Mike by the wrist, yanks him forward. Mike chokes on a yelp and flails his arm free, blood dripping from where the shadows grabbed him, like the touch of darkness has split him open. He tries to scramble away, unfolds his legs to kick himself back but only makes himself easier, more vulnerable. The unidentifiable mass encircles Mike's ankle, and he screams something agonized, terrified—and then it pulls Mike, clawing at the carpet with his bloodied fingers, under the bed.

    This time, the silence isn't hungry. It's satisfied.

    will starts entering the mindscape in his dreams on the same night that mike gets taken by vecna. this is probably the least confusing part of everything that happens after.

    Summary

    Because naming it would have meant needing to change something. And Mike didn’t want things to change. Not with Will.

    If he left it alone, maybe it would stay manageable.

    That should’ve been the end of it.

    But no matter how hard Mike tried to bury it, the feeling didn’t go away. He had to adapt. Make himself smaller. Tried not to make it so obvious how in love he was with his best friend, except he could barely even admit that to himself.

    Summary

    “Mike?”

    “Yeah, sorry I uh- I mean no.” He stutters, trying to force the words out.

    “What?” Will looks down at him, raising an eyebrow in confusion.

    “No.”

    “What do you mean no?” Will asks, his expression changing from confusion to something that almost looks like shock.

    “I- sorry, yeah I’ll- I’ll help.” He replies, shaking his head, in disbelief that he couldn't even last ten seconds before immediately caving and doing as Will asked.

    “Wow.” Max scoffs in amusement, clapping her hands dramatically. “Look at that Wheeler, you almost did it, you almost said no to Will. Very proud.” She sarcastically praises.

     

    Or

    Max makes fun of Mike for doing whatever Will wants so Mike tries to prove her wrong but fails miserably.
    Will finds it funny and tests just how much Mike is willing to do for him.
