Summary
Mike Wheeler hides behind a facade to conceal the pain in his heart. He turns to bad habits, secrets, and stays cloaked in the shadows. That is until an all too familiar foe reemerges in Hawkins and preys on those just like him. Those hiding behind masks, plagued by their pain.
Nobody suspected Vecna would go after Michael Wheeler. Maxine Mayfield, sure. Will Byers? Oh definitely. They’re caught by surprise when Mike Wheeler is targeted and Vecna chases after him like a hunting dog. After all, why give up such easy prey?

Summary
“When I saw you… there. From the Demo’s perspective. You were gonna –” Will’s voice breaks, and Mike’s fingers twitch where they rest on the fabric of Will’s jeans. There’s no conscious thought process, but he gently rubs back and forth. “I thought of you,” Will whispers, breath catching slightly.
“Of us. When… um, when we first met, and you asked me to be your friend. I thought of that and… you know. It happened."
Mike’s eyebrows lift. Me. I did it. “Oh.”
Will glances and seems to realise all at once how much he just revealed.

Summary
Mike grabs Will’s hands and tangles them with his own, blinking up at him through his long, dark lashes. His eyes are endless. Solid black, like the night above them. So shiny that Will can see himself, tipsy and happy, in the reflection. “I want to be stuck with you,” Mike whispers, like it’s a secret. “I don’t ever want to leave.”
Will sucks in a sharp breath, squeezing his hands. “Then don’t,” he whispers back, punched-out and honest. “Stay.”

Summary
It’s at that very moment that, for reasons completely and utterly unknown to anyone at all, every single possible word he has ever learned from any language ever has suddenly disappeared from his brain, and his throat feels relevant to the Sahara Desert.
None of this, of course, has to do with the fact that Will is very, very, very – shirtless.
Will blinks at him. “Are you okay?”
“Shoulders,” Mike says, sounding vaguely chipmunk-like, and he hears Max barely choke down a snicker.
Will comes back for the summer, and Mike deals with it.

Love is a fickle thing.
Just not for Mike.
or
