Summary
The words sit vulnerably in the air before the pounding rain washes them away and leaves him colder than ever.
There are so many things he could say. I was, or not anymore, or I just thought I was…
He stops. He’s done running. He’d been fooling himself, keeping one last secret. The same old shit, but he’s done being afraid. “Yeah, Mike,” he says, tiredly. With certainty. “I am.”
“Will…”
“Just forget it, Mike,” Will says, sick of interpreting the expressions flickering across Mike’s face, sick of looking for signals and overanalyzing and dreaming and hoping. “Forget it.”
___The rain fight parallel we were promised and the basement conclusion.

Summary
“And why come back when so many are leaving Hawkins?”
Will slowed without meaning to. The leaves under his shoes crackled. “I–”
What should he tell this stranger that wouldn’t reveal the fact that his sister had superpowers and might actually be the only key to save this entire town from a monstrous maniac?
“Well, everyone I know is here,” he murmured. “I couldn’t… just leave them.”
The man hummed softly, then he lifted his head to scan over the woods, a faint whistle came from his lips, before his gaze landed onto Will again.
“Maybe something here wanted you back.”

Summary
“Why do you choose to keep breaking me like this?”
Will grabs his own face desperately, eyebrows lifting almost hyperbolically. “What are you talking about?!”
“After I–“ Mike runs both hands through his soaked hair, pacing once like he’s unravelling. “After I said all that. After I told you– After my letter– do you really have the nerve to–“
Will doesn't let him finish, words landing heavy.
“… What letter?”
Mike stops pacing. His face drains in a second. He doesn’t answer.
There's a new possibility. A terrible one.
“Mike,” Will steps closer, searching desperately for his face instead of fighting it. “What letter?”
Or–

Summary
“Will,” Mike starts.
“No, seriously,” Will says. The hand that isn’t holding his beer raises between them, twitching downwards like he’s physically shoving any of Mike’s other questions back down where they came from. “It was a stupid thing to ask.”
Mike shakes his head, then scoots forward, inching closer to Will. “It’s not,” he insists. “If it’s you asking, it’s not stupid, Will.”
On New Year's Eve, 1996, Will asks Mike a question. He gets an answer and then some.
