Summary
Will’s not supposed to be hiding in corners, forcing a fake smile when Mike asks him if he’s okay. He’s not supposed to brush off insults like they're jokes. He’s not supposed to vanish for six hours during a school day, leaving Mike feeling like he’s slipping away all over again.
Whoever said that beating Vecna’s going to fix Hawkins’ problems, Will’s problems, Mike’s problems—they deserve an earful. They deserve to feel this weird, hollow dissatisfaction chewing away at their chests.
aka mike begs will to escape their small town after too many run-ins with homophobic small-town bs. he knows will's meant to find himself elsewhere, but he never expects to find an answer to the age-old question of his own fate. prom, gay bars, sleazy hotels, train stations, two lesbians and their not-so-legal marriage - they aren't the traditional sources of wisdom, but he can't complain.

Summary
“Can I get a sip of that?” He nodded to the drink.
Will nodded yes in return. Holding his gaze, he took a deep sip from the solo cup before offering it towards Mike. Will watched him intensely. Mike never broke eye contact. After he swallowed, Will blinked and took a half step back.“Come on, I wanna get some air.” He grabbed Mike by the forearm and started towards the sliding door that led to the backyard. Mike wondered absently if the blush he felt forming was a result of the alcohol.
tldr: Mike goes through a series of realizations in going to college parties with Will.
