Summary
Will's breath hitches, his legs squeezing subconsciously around Mike's hips.
Well, Mike thinks it's subconscious. He feels one of Will's pinkies brush his hand too, but he could be imagining that one. He rests his forehead against Will's, and like clockwork, one of Will's hands reaches up to his cheek, holding his face tenderly. "Mike?" He calls again.
Mike takes a deep breath, wanting to melt into Will's body. "Can I-" he bumps their noses.
Will shuts his eyes, but not like he's waiting for something, more like he's closing off. He leans forward tentatively, kissing Mike's cheek. "Don't." He whispers, his hand coming to Mike's hair to run through it thoughtfully. "You should start growing this out again."
Mike's heart sinks. "What?" He whispers.
Or
This is Mike and Will's last summer living in Hawkins. The party are slowly creeping towards real adult lives that feel too big and too daunting to one Mike Wheeler. Faced with the challenge of addiction, grief, and the proposition of a college he never wanted to go to, how will he find Will Byers again in the midst of it?

Summary
But that was when the last puzzle piece fell into place.
"Oh." Will stumbled backwards slightly. "Oh my god, you want it. You want Vecna to take you."
When Mike didn't deny it, Will felt tears welling up in his eyes.
