Summary
I screamed and screamed, screamed your name and cursed everything and everyone that led us here. I cursed my stupidity, my naivety towards time, and my inability to say the three words back when it mattered the most.
I love you so much, Will, so much that it hurts to think about it, but there is nothing else I want to think about. There will never be anyone else I want to think of more either.
Will passed away while facing Vecna, and Mike is left to mourn not only the loss of his best friend in the whole entire world, but to also mourn what they could've been together, if they had just a little more time and courage.

Summary
Will was speechless. Mike lifted his gaze to Will, almost unsure of who he was looking at — his cheeks tinted red and those stupid glasses sitting too low on his face —, until Mike's face lit up completely. Mike threw himself at Will, wrapping his arms around Will's neck and burying his face in his shoulder, making Will stumble a couple steps back. Different emotions flashed on Will's face: shock, confusion, settling with embarrassment as his face grew red like Mike's.
"Mike! Stop being a big baby, get off of Will!" Dustin attempted and failed to pull Mike away, only making Mike hold Will tighter.
Mike is drunk and decides that is the best time to take the phrase "liquid courage" seriously to confess his feelings to Will.

Summary

"I asked if you ever had a crush on someone."

Summary
Mike Wheeler was clumsy. Or that was what he called himself anyway — Nancy insisted it was impulsivity and attention seeking, but her opinion mattered little to Mike. Biking to and from school, roughhousing, running around because of tag or some other game they came up with in the afternoon, could cause all kinds of accidents.
And it was fine, Mike could deal with holding back tears as his hands stung from a scrape or from hitting his forehead on a glass door. It was fine — until Mike found out a special way to get rid of the pain.
Or Mike gets hurt all the time and Will kisses it better. Then, when Will is hurt, he follows the example.

Summary
A summer job at Scoops Ahoy was already stupid — entitled teenagers, mothers that were infuriated about prices, Erica who kept coming for samples — and the fact it was the town that tortured Will from the age of 12 to 16, but he needed the money and the experience before continuing onto his second year of college. What was more stupid though was putting up a sign that said "out of order" on the bathroom's door and taking edibles with Mike post shift, then vomiting it all.
And now he was getting a bit emotional. Shit, maybe the edibles were still in his system. But that gives an opportunity to Will because — after much reflection during and post high — maybe he could trust Mike Wheeler with one more secret.
Or
Mike and Will take edibles right after their shift at Scoops Ahoy, then Will sobers up with courage to finally be honest about his sexuality and his feelings for Mike.
