    Summary

    “And why come back when so many are leaving Hawkins?”

    Will slowed without meaning to. The leaves under his shoes crackled. “I–”

    What should he tell this stranger that wouldn’t reveal the fact that his sister had superpowers and might actually be the only key to save this entire town from a monstrous maniac?

    “Well, everyone I know is here,” he murmured. “I couldn’t… just leave them.”

    The man hummed softly, then he lifted his head to scan over the woods, a faint whistle came from his lips, before his gaze landed onto Will again.

    “Maybe something here wanted you back.”

    Or, a modern-gothic take on Will Byers' story in Season 5.

    Summary

    But, then, in the dim glow of the kitchen lights, Will Byers comes into view.

    And suddenly, nothing else in the world matters.

    Oh, there you are, something deep inside Mike whispers. The butterflies in his stomach flutter helplessly, and warmth rushes to his whole face as Will freezes on the last step, his eyes meeting Mike’s own. 

    There you are, Mike thinks again to himself.

    “Mike?” Will starts to say, but he never gets the chance to finish his sentence.

    Or:

    The night before the final battle with Vecna, Mike goes down to the basement to have a talk with Will.

    Summary

    The door slammed, and Will was left to live with it. The emptiness of it all. A world where Mike Wheeler didn’t want him around. Alone.
    Well, not entirely at that moment…because Eddie was still there. And he was staring.

    ---
    The world is ending again, and Will Byers is just trying to survive the feelings he never meant to have. Mike keeps slipping further away, and Eddie keeps stepping closer.

    Something has to break...and it does.

    Summary

    The thing is, Mike knows.

    He’s known for the last eleven months, two weeks, and eighteen days. He’s known since it became impossible for Will to hide it, when the darkness almost killed him.

    They just don’t talk about it. He doesn’t care that Will doesn’t like girls, or that he used to like some nameless boy a long time ago, back when they were kids, or somewhere in the blur of growing up.

    But now, as the movie plays on and Bellamy leans closer to whisper something to Will, all Mike can do is think about it.

     

    Or, after the end of the world, Mike Wheeler thinks he’s managed to go back to normal. Even if Eleven is gone. Even if Hawkins will never be the same.
    Until Will makes a new friend and Mike realizes he can’t outrun forever the feelings that follow.

    Summary

    Mike reaches for his glass, taking it with both hands. Murray’s smile becomes broader, his teeth glistening as he bobs his head slowly in an affirming manner. 
     

    “There you go, Wheeler! Woo!” Murray exclaims excitedly. He won. 

     

    Will, wide eyed, looks directly at Mike, who’s eyeing his drink.

     
    “I mean- he’s not wrong, Will.” He’s returning the gaze, holding it. His voice is soft, it’s careful and suggestive. He wants Will to do this with him, Will apprehends. 

     

    He gulps, his gaze still locked with Mike's, and without breaking it, he takes the glass that hangs offering, towards him. 
     

    He lets out a huff of air.
     

    “Lets have some fun boys! Cheers!” 
     

    Murray is gleaming.
