Summary
Sometimes, all he can think about is how he’ll kill himself.
“Will! Will, come on- come on, wake up-”
His lungs shudder as he breathes in, hands gripping his face, his shoulders, alternating wherever they could.
“That’s it- that’s it, come on, come back to me-”
He feels dizzy, out of it, the way he always did. He’s pulled into a chest, a heartbeat he could spend forever memorizing, and tries to get his bearings.
Or, Will is going through some shit. He knows a way to get out of it, but... no one seems content to let that happen.

Summary
Point was, Mike Wheeler liked to be needed.
And Will Byers?
Well…
Will swallows, eyes focused pointedly on Mike’s long, slender fingers. The way they twist and they pull, fixing the broken strap to Will’s backpack.
Will Byers loved when Mike fixed things for him.
It was becoming a problem.
Or, Will comes up with a plan that could benefit the both of them. Mike gets to be a hero in every day life, and Will? He gets to have Mike's attention.

Summary
“Is it Tammy?”
Will feels his face scrunch up in confusion, pulled clean out of his thoughts by the absurdity of the question. “Tammy?”
“Earlier, you said- it’s Tammy, right? The reason you’re- you’re ignoring me? We have to be a team, right now-”
Will blinks for a moment, head shaking as he leans it back, trying to think of how Mike could be so… so out of the loop. “Mike, Vecna is going to kill us, I don’t care about Tammy-”
“But you like him, right?”
“What?! Tammy Thompson?”
Mike lags, freezing. “Thompson?”
Or, Will is preparing to give up one last thing for the people he loved. The last thing he hasn't given them yet. His life. Mike, however, is a lot more concerned with whoever this Tammy person is and why Will cared about them enough to include them in his confession.

Summary
Even after all of this time… saying yes? It was the best thing I’d ever done, Mike.
Will’s voice had been so calm when he said it. Gentle. Certain.
...
Will’s lips press together. Mike tracks it like a hawk. It’s just them here- he’s allowed to care. It’s just them.
“I’m not hungry.”
“You haven’t been hungry in two days.” Silence. it gnaws at his insides. “Will, please-”
Then, barely audible, “I’m tired, Mike.”
Or, a small post season five fix it fic, because depression doesn't just disappear, and Mike and Will need to have a talk right now more than ever.

Summary
I wrote this at like 3:00am based on a dream I had. So.
.Mike was touchy, it was just in his nature.
Maybe that's why, when Mike reached out, hands cupping his own, leaning in close, a murmur of “I miss you, Will. I miss us,” all Will did was squeeze back, the way he always had.
It started off the same as always, something unintentional that Will could brush off, accident touches that slowly grew into something friendly, platonic, normal. The occasional nudge of an elbow to his side, a long look and a hand reaching out to grip his shoulder. Simple. Friendly.
But now?
Now Mike couldn't seem to be able to keep his hands off of him.
It was driving Will crazy.
