Summary
“Come back here!” Mike pleads.
“I can’t,” Will replies weakly, and he’s sure his voice isn’t strong enough to travel. Mike inches closer, like those few centimeters would make the difference.
“I’m jumping in then!” And then he’s wringing the shoes off, hastily kicking them behind his back.
On the eve of the final battle, Will is drawn to the lake by an unknown force. He tries to cut everything short and free Hawkins on his own, but Mike just won’t let him go.

Summary
“You’ve really never?” Will asks, finally pulling a box of matches out of his pocket, not the lighter Mike had been expecting. He tips the box of Marlboros out towards Mike again, and this time, he takes one, trying to pretend like the subtle weight of it is not as foreign in his hand as it feels. “Not even once?”
“No,” Mike says, trying to figure out whether he should be getting defensive or not. “Why? Is it that hard to believe?”
“I just figured, you know, it’s easier to bum a smoke off of somebody than it is to get your hands on some booze,” Will says thoughtfully. He tucks the cigarettes back into his pocket and plants both hands on the stack of hay behind him, taking a careful step onto the bale already resting by their feet — and then, when it holds his weight, he hoists himself up, legs swinging. “And you’ve done that, so.”
Will sneaks out for a smoke break. Mike decides to join him.
