    Summary

    “Mike,” Will says again, and woah, now he’s at eye level, holding Mike by the shoulders. His hands skim over Mike’s arms, under his jacket, checking for any sign of injury. “Are you okay? Did it—”

    “Yup. Yeah, yeah, I’m great.” He’s just still processing, is all. That’s why he’s so lightheaded. It’s a lot to process.

    “Shit, Mike,” Will murmurs, reaching up to thumb at Mike’s forehead. He feels something slick glide across his brow, then Will’s finger comes away red. Oh. Will’s eyes get all big and sad and worried, and his stomach twists with the knee-jerk reaction to fix it. Will should never look like that

    “‘S not that bad, I swear.” Even as he says it, Mike doesn’t fully believe it: blood means trouble.

     

     

    .
     

    Or, Mike is alive, but he's not doing too hot. Will takes care of him.

    Summary

    “Dance if you’re real.” Mike begs him. Whispering as if they could be overheard. His heart drums in his chest, each beat like a clap of thunder, and his stomach rolls as if he’s on a rollercoaster.

    After a long, torturous moment, Will begins to sway again.

    His arms lower to Mike’s waist. They wrap around like ribbons around a gift, and his palms feel giant as they curl around his sides. Mike feels small again, but not in the same way he felt around his dad or Henry. He melts into Will's embrace as it swallows him up, encasing him like a shield.

    It’s just as Mike had pictured it years ago, when he’d watched Will dance with a girl and dreamed of switching their places.

    Or: Mike is trapped in the thrall of Vecna's curse, and only Will can save him.
