Summary
Will fumbled through his first aid kit. “Alright, c’mere, you look like Aragorn.”
“That’s not a bad thing.” Mike pointed out with a sly grin, scooting close to him.
“You’ve got blood everywhere. So definitely not HOT Aragorn.” Will corrected, before realizing exactly what he’d said, eyes widening.
“Not that-” Will swallowed. “I think-” he stopped and stared at the stuff he’d pulled from the bag.
“Let’s just. Get you cleaned up.” Will muttered, closing himself off. Shutting Mike out. Mike knew what that looked like.
Will used to do it, when Lonnie would get mad. Shut everything out. Mike hated it.
Did he mean what he'd said about Aragorn? Or was Mike overthinking it like always? Hope fluttered in his chest, hot and dangerous. He wanted to reach out and tell Will that it was fine, that he didn’t mind.
That he wasn’t alone. That he didn’t have to be alone.
But Mike Wheeler was a coward. So he didn’t say anything at all.
-mike and will skip class and, after a bike ride resulting in a bad fall, end up at a rebuilt castle byers. confessions and kisses ensue.

Summary
“And I just thought- y’know, since you finally had a crush, maybe you’d want to talk about it?” Mike bullshitted.
Will scrubbed a hand across his forehead. “Right. Um. He’s great, I mean, incredible, actually. He understands stuff, like nobody else does. He’s the only person who’s ever made me feel truly okay in my skin and I-” he cut himself off.
Mike’s heart almost stopped beating. Maybe he wasn’t totally crazy.
“Anyways. Focusing on him, when it’s hopeless- it’ll just make me feel like shit. I mean, after everything, it’s just me, y’know?” Will said softly. “Just me.”
“Yeah, but it doesn’t have to be.” Mike said. “Why should you be alone? Just because you’re… “ he took a deep, shaky breath. “...gay?” The word took effort to say, and it felt like he’d run a marathon once it’d left his mouth, his chest burning.
Will stared and stared. “I…” his gaze flickered to the ground. “Because. He’s the only person I’ve ever…” he squeezed his eyes shut. “Been in love with.”
Mike blinked. Will was in love? With this boy who could maybe, possibly, probably be Mike?
