Summary
Will's only ever smoked one other time. (It wasn't even cool.)
When Jonathan came in to check on him, glass of water in hand, he was sitting bolt upright. All he said was, ”El’s door doesn’t have a lock, right?”
So for the next 2 hours, as Jonathan dozed off next to him on his bed, Will sat there and drew. After stumbling into his sister’s room and pulling that shitty Polaroid of him off her wall, he conjured Mike up and spat him out into his sketchbook like it was nothing.
Of course—it was the best thing he’d ever drawn.
The whole thing screamed, unabashedly, "I love you".
After that, Will swore he wouldn’t smoke again.
Until Mike comes to him (in the middle of an apocalypse no less), and with that bashful, sweet little smile he reserves for Will and only Will (Goddamnit.), he makes a little joke about dying before he ever gets to do one little regular teenage rebellion.
And who is Will to say no?Or: Mike and Will get stoned in the Wheeler's basement, as the world ends.

Summary
eighteen months.
will byers had invaded mike wheelers home for eighteen months and counting, since vecna's attack on the small 'boring' town of hawkins.
maybe in the past, that would've been a dream for will. spending days on end hanging out with his best friend/secret crush. except-
they weren't talking.
but maybe that would change. maybe the two of them would become friends again, and remember how good life was then they were together. maybe mike would finally realize that will had been there all along, waiting for him. maybe mike would finally sort out his feelings for will and things wouldn't be so awkward.
maybe, just maybe.
