Summary
"There has gotta be a better way to do this. That was awful," Mike said, turning to Will, voice hoarse and deeper than usual. Will continued rubbing Mike's back as he thought about Mike's words.
Will did know of a better way, but he was certain they shouldn't do it.
"Will?" Mike began, eyes flitting between Will's, causing Will's eyes to snap to his. "What? Is there actually a better way?"
Will hesitated at the inquiry. "Yeah- Yeah, sorry, but we can't do it."
"Why not?" Mike asked, looking confused, keeping his eyes locked onto Will's.
Will averted his eyes. "It might be too weird. It's kinda… intimate?" Will said, making it sound almost like a question.
Mike nodded thoughtfully, thinking about it for a moment before saying, "We can do it anyway, if you want. I don't mind. I trust you, Will."

Summary
Mike had a problem, but it wasn't actually about Will and it wasn't even about Mike being queer. It didn't even have anything to do with Mike's feelings for Will.
Mike's problem was irrational, and stupid, and made so little logical sense even Mike understood that it should not be that big of a deal.
That's the fault to irrational fears. Mike knew it was stupid, but what power did he have to put it to bed?
Avoidant, is what Mike thinks Nancy would call him.
She'd probably be right.
—.*.—
OR, Mike has always eventually been proven right, which pairs awfully with the irrational fear of everything going wrong if he let himself open up a little bit more. Shenanigan's ensue.

Summary
Their eyes locked mid-scream. Mike tripped on a wire, swearing loudly into the microphone, but the crowd just laughed. Then, something feral took over. During the bridge of their next song, as Lucas tore into a feedback-drenched solo, Mike prowled like a jungle cat to the edge of the stage. He sank to his knees, now eye-level with Will. Will’s heart hammered in his chest as he watched Mike take the mic with both hands, face mere inches from Will’s, before he roared the next verse into the space between them. Will could feel the heat of his breath, see the tremor in his jaw. Will didn’t blink, didn’t move, didn’t breathe. He just took it all.
OR: Mike is in a punk band, Will works in the bar where they play.

Summary
Silence. Hungry, carnivorous—or maybe cavernous, vast and lined with teeth, ready to bite. The quiet before the storm, the gasped breath in before the heart stops. Tragedy tastes bitter. Blood tastes like pennies. Both are in the air, promises coating the tongue. Something bad is about to happen.
From beneath the bed, something reaches out—a mass of darkness, a shapeless nothing—and it grabs Mike by the wrist, yanks him forward. Mike chokes on a yelp and flails his arm free, blood dripping from where the shadows grabbed him, like the touch of darkness has split him open. He tries to scramble away, unfolds his legs to kick himself back but only makes himself easier, more vulnerable. The unidentifiable mass encircles Mike's ankle, and he screams something agonized, terrified—and then it pulls Mike, clawing at the carpet with his bloodied fingers, under the bed.
This time, the silence isn't hungry. It's satisfied.
will starts entering the mindscape in his dreams on the same night that mike gets taken by vecna. this is probably the least confusing part of everything that happens after.
