Summary
Was…was Mike’s heart reacting to Will?
Mike isn’t looking at him. He’s staring hard at his cards as if he hasn’t seen them before, biting his inner cheek, and accentuating his dimple. As Will looks closer, he notices the pink shade spreading over the shell of Mike’s ear, the red emerging from the black curls like a rose sprouting from the earth.
Was Mike still nervous around him? Hadn’t they resolved that?
Will decides to test it. He leans onto the bed and rests a hand on Mike’s uninjured thigh, his thumb swiping side to side over the covers, and waits.
Mike's leg twitches into his hand, and barely a moment passes before the beeps speed up again, a rapid climb from steady to sprinting, and when Will looks, the blush has spread to Mike’s cheeks, his eyes unmoving and glued to his cards.
Oh. Will gapes at the monitor, the green spiking line. That's not discomfort.
Oh. He can have some fun with this.
Or: Mike, while protecting Will, gets attacked by a demogorgon. Guilt-ridden, Will stays with him in the hospital, forcing them to resolve the awkward air that has surrounded them for months, and, along the way, uncover some truths.

Summary
It’s her, he thinks, feeling half-crazy with elation, it’s really her.
He runs up to her, placing his hands on shoulders only for them to phase through her like sand. Still, the touch seemingly alerts her, and she looks around herself, confused. Then, seemingly reaching a realization, she closes her eyes and suddenly, she’s solid and real and staring at him like she’s just seen a ghost. He thinks he has a similar look on his face.
“Will, what?” she says, looking him up and down like she can’t believe him. “You can’t be here.”
“I searched for you,” he says, tracing the shape of her arms with his hands. Holy shit, she’s real. “I didn’t know you survived. I’m so glad–”
“Stop.” She pushes him away, eyes angry and cold, a look he’s never felt directed at him before. It gives him shivers just seeing her. “Stop looking for me. I can’t ever be found. And you can never tell them I lived. Do you understand? They can never know.”
Three months after El sacrifices herself and the Upside Down is lost forever, Will Byers finds his sister in a void of empty space.
