    Summary

    Mike doesn’t mean to look, he never does. But today his eyes kept drifting, dragging to every inch of Will as if they’re led by something low and ugly and needy. Mike thinks it's because he spent all of today by Will’s side, just the two of them while the rest of the party was busy, but he knows it's more than just that. It's been building up, and he feels gross and worn down from the constant battle he has against himself.

    But Will…Will looks lighter. He eats absentmindedly, talks with his hands and smiles a large grin that shifts his mole. Sometimes it feels like something heavy was cut away from him cleanly and all that remains is a neat, closed stitch, without an infection.

    Mike hates how obvious it feels by comparison.

    Mike's journey of longing, shame and rot.

    Summary

    Now that Will’s sitting and Mike’s the one that’s standing, he looks impossibly tall. Tall and lanky, and huge. He should sit back down, Will thinks, lay back down next to Will and stay in their own secluded little bubble.

    “I really want to kiss you,” Mike says, and Will’s eyes snap back up to his so violently he thinks he hears his own neck crack with the force of it.

    “Don’t,” Will croaks, before his brain has even processed the words. “Don’t say that.”

    “Okay,” Mike says easily, still staring. And what the actual fuck is going on? Is Will hallucinating? Is the weed making him hallucinate? “So sausage and pepperoni?”

    Will stares dumbly at him. “Um - yeah. Yes.”

    “Cool,” Mike replies and then just turns around and leaves Will sitting dumbly in his own room.

    Summary

    “It’s been five years. Five years! That you have been ignoring me. And now you just what? Want me to tell you where I am? You’re just here now? What the fuck is wrong with you?”

    Will flinched, shutting his eyes as tears threatened to fall. Shit, shit, this was a bad idea, a terrible idea. What was he thinking? Mike was right. What was wrong with him? “I- I’m sorry, I-”

    “You’re sorry? Will, you can’t seriously think I’m just going to-”

    “77 Indigo Street. Meet me at 8,” Will interrupted, the words spilling out before he could chicken out. “I’m sorry. Love you.” And then he slammed the phone back down with so much force the entire booth rattled. Though not exactly how he planned, there. It was done.

    ---

    After leaving Hawkins and refusing to look back, Will decides it's finally time to reconnect with the person who would always have his heart.

    Summary

    “Why do I always have to be the one to understand, why do I have to be the one to say it.” He hears himself utter, a little surprised at the way he is speaking, all pressing, pleading, reasoning with Mike.

    “Because Will.” Mike says in lieu of an answer.

    “Because?” Will repeats, Mike is seriously struggling with elaborating tonight.

    Summary

    “You said I was bad at managing my time between my girlfriend and my best friend but you’re basically doing the same thing.”

    Girlfriend?!” Will spits out, thoroughly shell-shocked.

    “I don’t get it! You could’ve told me you had a crush on someone, I would’ve—and when did you ever talk to Robin? You move to California and all of a sudden you’ve got all these girls hanging off of you and you’re interested in older girls—“ Mike’s voice embarrassingly cracks. He decides to quit while he’s ahead before he delves into the forbidden.

    In the wake of the apocalypse, Mike and Will find their way to each other.

    Summary

    “Soo,” Will begins, “was it an okay first day? Meeting everyone and stuff, I mean. Like, are you still okay with spending Christmas here?”

    “If I’m okay with- are you kidding?! I’m totally looking forward to it!” Mike responds, almost exasperated. He’s sitting up now, facing Will.

    “Yeah?” Will prompts, also sitting up.

    “Definitely. Your family is like, the nicest people ever and I- well I’m, uh, I’m pretty happy to get to spend Christmas with you too so… there’s that.” Mike says, smile turning a bit shy. His voice goes soft as he says the last part and Will feels like there’s something there. It feels almost like a confession.
