    Summary

    Mike’s hand, which is still brushing Will’s, shifts just slightly, and his pinky finger hooks loosely around Will’s own. Which is a lame, cliche move to get worked up over, probably, except that Will also might be forgetting how to breathe over it. “What if we split up?” he hears himself say, his voice coming out impressively even considering the fact that his heart is making a very valiant effort to beat right through his chest and leap into Mike’s palm, “In pairs, maybe? Mike and I can take the garage.”
    “Oh, I’m sure,” Lucas mutters. Will chances a glance at Mike, whose cheeks have turned a dusty shade of pink, and who is gnawing harshly on his lower lip in what appears to be an attempt to press down a smile.

    Dustin plans a murder mystery party. It goes about as well as you'd expect.

    Summary

    “Oh and, obviously, you don’t have to drink, Will. If you don’t want to.”

    Now, that is strange. Is there reason to assume he wouldn’t want to? The way Dustin lists all of their names, why would Will be the odd one out again, why would his name not fit into the enumeration of people who are normal and not afraid of the bright, red, fun liquid glaring at him in provocation, the color stinging in his eyes like a warning sign? Being babied, picked up earlier than his friends from everywhere, only receiving pitying, disgusted glances, being a freak and a—

    “No, I’d like to try”, he shrugs. “Last high school party, right?”

    Will tries his best to ignore the glance shot at him somewhere from his left, but that proves to be rather difficult. After all, Mike’s stare feels heavier than usual for some reason.

    Despite his inner turmoil desperately begging him not to, Will decides to join the party in going to the last high school party of their life. As expected, he regrets it immediately, if the way he hurts himself and his best friend is anything to go by. It does lead to them having important conversations, though.

    Summary

    “Mike?” A voice that sounds a lot like Nancy’s shouts through the speaker, even though it’s hard to tell with Steve’s raucousness and the tin of the walkie and the hazardous quality to maybe-Nancy’s voice. “Um — something’s happening—”

    The walkie dies out again, and Mike really cannot handle any of this right now. He rams down the button and yells,“What, Nancy, what?” Rationally he knows that panicking is the worst thing to do in a situation like this, but after the past few years of everything, how could he not panic?

    “It’s Will, he’s not — he’s not moving.”

    Or: While Mike and Lucas are out on a mission to spy on the military's scheduled gate burning, something happens to Will, and Mike may or may not have a few revelations.

    Summary

    “You can keep flapping, or whatever it was you were doing when I came in,” Will says. “You don’t need to hide that from me. It’s not like I didn’t see it when we were kids.”

    Oh. That. Mike doesn’t do that anymore. He’s not supposed to. It was childish even then, at the ripe age of eight. That’s what his mom and teachers said, at least. They’d make fun of him for all sorts of stuff— fidgeting, rocking, chewing on his fingers. He’s grown up now. He doesn’t need it.

    Will must read the hesitation on his face, because he nudges his shoe again. “Come on. I know you want to. It always used to help when you were upset like this.”

    Mike doesn’t understand why he’s suddenly lost all control over his thoughts and actions. Will seems to know Mike’s habits better than he himself does.

    Summary

    As his footsteps recede, Will considers it; a fleeting feeling of fuck it, the world’s already ending that quickly fades the moment he glances back over his shoulder, watching a blur of camo disappear through the doorway before it closes once again, softer this time.

    “…So,” Joyce starts, bringing Will back to his senses. “You know you’re what?”

    Fixing Will’s coming out scene because I’m still bitter.
