    Summary

    Will moves back to an upright position, wiping his hair out of his eyes, head and shoulders peeking above the water. “Mike,” he says, pulling Mike up with him, their fingers still intertwined.

    “Yeah?” Mike says, tilting his head so the water trickles out of his ears, wincing slightly. “What is it?”

    Will’s eyes dart back and forth between his, and then Mike feels his hand squeeze his own. “I don’t want you to, like, think I moved back for you,” he starts, which in and of itself would be enough to get Mike’s soul soaring straight out of his own body, if it weren’t for Will’s thumb pressed against his pulse point like some kind of mortal tether. “Because it’s not like that, I promise. But I think– I think I realized there’s a difference between things you want and things you need, you know?”

    mike wheeler on losing people and having them again, the difference between wanting and needing, and finally letting go.

    Summary

    Two years after his husband’s death, Mike Wheeler lives quietly in a cliffside mansion with his eight year old daughter and more ghosts than he knows what to do with. He doesn’t talk about the past.

    Will Byers isn’t looking for love when he takes the live-in cook job at Rosecliff Manor. He's just trying to start over in a new town, with a new job and with the walls carefully built around his heart.

    Living under the same roof wasn’t supposed to mean anything.
    But grief recognizes grief.

    And sometimes healing looks a lot like falling in love.

    Summary

    Mike’s in a band named “Twisted Septum” which is rising to fame. He’s learning to be comfortable with the spotlight while also trying to get over his life that ended in Hawkins.
    Or rather the person that stood up and walked out of his life who he thought would be there forever. Will is living in Charleston, Illinois. He finished his bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts (BFA) and is working at an art studio downtown of Illinois. He’s moving on, or at-least trying to. The constant nightmares of Hawkins continues to torment him.

    The worst part is the same doe eyed, boney boy is not only plaguing his memories but also his reality. Lucas, Dustin, and, Max force Will to go to a rising bands concert trying to introduce Will to new music. Little does Will know that the same person he’s been avoiding is the same guy he’s been trying to move on from.

    Feeling’s rush to the surface, things left unsaid are hanging stiffly in the air, and things they wish they could’ve said 7 years ago start to flash in their head louder then ever.
