Summary
“Hey Will?”
Will glanced up at him, swallowing down the rest of the candy. “Yeah?”
“Can I ask you something…kind of personal?”
In any other universe, Will would probably have sputtered and started panicking like a child that’s lost their parents in a grocery store. "Can I ask you something kind of personal" is the question every queer kid dreads hearing from others, even people that they know and trust with their whole heart. Truth be told, Will didn’t feel completely at ease with the question, but considering today’s events, he tried to push his fear down. He felt like he’s been almost stripped bare of all his secrets after his confession. Almost.
“Yeah, of…of course, what’s up?”
Mike hesitated a moment, looking down at the carpet. He tapped his toes inside of his shoes. “Who the hell is Tammy?”

“Who do you think about then, Will?”
He blinks at Mike, hoping the words will reach him without him having to form them. Mike shakes his head. Say it, he mouths.
“You, Mike,” he says. “I think about you.”

Summary
Mike's voice is as steady as he can manage with Will's gaze burning a hole through his chest. “I didn’t… I didn’t know. At least, not the way I should’ve. Ever since you saved my life, it feels like… like a waterfall picking up speed, like everything is moving so fast out of my control. Like… like…”
Will pales, his voice a breathless whisper. “Like an avalanche.”
Mike releases a breath. “Yeah. Like an avalanche.”
__________________________________________________________Mike's avalanche is the moment Will Byers stands alone on that flaming battlefield, arm outstretched and ripping a monster from the sky to save his life.
But Vecna isn't done with them yet, and as Will's plan goes horribly wrong, it becomes abundantly clear that only one realisation is going to save the boy's life.
His best friend's love for him.

Summary
Will's injured after a Demogorgon attack, and Mike insists on patching him up. It should be simple—clean the wound, wrap the bandage, done. But Mike's hands keep lingering, and the air between them feels heavier with every touch. They've been walking this line for months, finding excuses to be close without ever crossing it. Maybe it's time to stop pretending.
