Summary
There’s a new and shiny billboard near the main part of town— white background, a large crucifix, a man starved, plastered with the blood-red words; Who else has died for you? Will walks past it everyday on the way to school. Too many people, he thinks. Way too fucking many.
⭑
OR; the end of the world, according to Will Byers.

Summary
"Why did you lie?"
Will felt gravity leave him, felt his body untether itself from this mortal realm and float directly into the setting sun. The room was casted in a yellow-gold, beamless and directionless - and because Will was a sinner, he replied, "About what?"
Mike's face creased. He shook the rolled up painting, tightening his fist around it. "About this, Will. Don't play dumb."
(AKA: Oh, you know - just your standard Mike-finds-out-about-the-painting confrontation.)

Summary
“You’re not boning, though, right?” he says, suddenly. He doesn’t know why he feels such an urge to bring it up again, as if the thought of Mike boning is not something that is CODE RED #1 at the top of Will's list of things to absolutely never think about. But also. Look–
“What? No, of course I’m not boning,” Mike splutters, turning a violent shade of scarlet, “how would I even hide that from you, I’m with you all the time–”
And then he falls silent, so fast that Will gets tonal whiplash from how fast Mike just went from saying boning over and over again to just clamping his mouth shut and staring at the wall across from them.
Will's trying his hardest to make it through fall semester in one piece. Unfortunately for his degree, he's being haunted by maybe-feelings for his best friend (metaphorically), and also a maybe-ghost with rather abysmal fashion sense (literally).

Summary
"I thought I'd killed you," he all but snapped, his irritation not necessarily directed towards Will, but rather the genuine scare Will had given him after knowing he'd hurt him.
"You didn't. I'm okay. I'm still here, Mike."
Mike let out a scoff. "I could have.." he muttered, "..and I really thought I did. Jonathan was pissed at me and was glaring at me the whole time when he drove us here."
Will couldn't tell if Mike was being serious or not, but quickly remembering that Jonathan was pretty protective and could definitely be scary when he wanted to be, especially surrounding Will's..feelings, he decided to believe him. "Is that how you got back so fast?"
When Will, Robin, Nancy, El, and Joyce are gathered at the radio station, Will is drowning in the guilt of lying to Mike about the burn, as well as the daunting fear of once again feeling the scorching hands of the devil all over him. But he couldn't say anything, not after Mike had put the plan together himself. Will couldn't risk ruining their plans. So..
He says nothing. And they deal with the outcome when he eventually does feel the scorching flames.
