    Summary

    There was a plan, if Lucas remembers correctly. Rescue the kids. Kill Vecna. Save the world. Done, done, and done.

    And then there was another thing. A closing bullet point on the to-do list. He hasn’t stopped thinking about it. If anything, he’s thought more and more about it every second. To the point where it’s almost debilitating.

    Like, there was a larger question, which is, Does Lucas Sinclair like boys, and while it’s hard to say for certain, the answer is really skewing yes lately. Everywhere he looks he’s noticing guys like they’re a brand-new species. It turns out Steve is hot, if you can get past the part where he’s basically been their glorified babysitter for several years. Dustin’s alright, but the mullet works against him as much as Mike getting rid of the mullet is working for him. Mostly, these are passing observations. Acknowledged and then dismissed. Whatever. Lucas thinks guys are hot now. Or always did and never noticed.

    But there’s also a much narrower, more precise question, tapering off like an arrowhead, pointing directly at Will.

    Summary

    Mike pushes into his hands, but Will keeps him still.

    "Ask again," he says. Because he's greedy, and he wants Mike to want him.

    He stares at Will's mouth. "Please."

    "Again."

    El is gone.

    Will tries to figure out how to move on in New York, and Mike follows him. Their apartment is haunted not by ghosts, but by the two of them.

    Or: Catastrophically traumatized boys cling to each other and accidentally figure out how to be close—too close—while moving through their grief.

    Summary

    And there Will was, by the staircase, Chance at his neck, kissing him.

    Mike flinched.

    Blood rushed to his face. He could feel it, the heat burning in him, so he took another swig at his beer, as if that would help. Gulp. He didn’t know where to look. Heck, didn’t know what to do. Will’s eyes were closed now, his head backed up against the wall, neck craned in such an angle that gave full exposure for this…animal to take, to keep taking, to keep kissing him, to leave his mark.

    Mike stepped further into the crowd. He was blind to the bodies around him, mindlessly walking forward, a feeling of frustration foreign to him beginning to take shape.

    And then Will’s eyes were on Mike.

    ky ✧ @belovingIy: stacey’s party but will is letting some guy kiss his neck while he maintains eye contact with mike from ten feet away and mike doesn’t know what to do nor where to look and just keeps fumbling with his drink

    Summary

    Mike is sitting at the desk that technically belongs to both of them but has, by unspoken agreement, become his. His typewriter is centered in front of him, a stack of slightly wrinkled paper to the left, a mug with cold coffee to the right, and his glasses sliding down his nose every few minutes.

    The lamp is on low. Yellow light pools over the keys and his fingers.

    He types carefully at first, then faster, then pauses, his fingers hovering over the keys shakily.
    On the page, the name stares back at him.

    Will the Wise.
