    Summary

    “Just saying, if you’re taking another hit, you should share it with me,” Mike says, and Will slowly tilts his head, drinking in every word. “It just makes sense. Like, mathematically.”

    Will’s reddened eyes narrow, bewildered. “Mathematically?”

    “If there’s two hits left, we’d each only get one,” Mike explains. “But if we shotgunned, we’d both get two.” God, this is the best idea he’s had in ages. He should’ve stolen Will’s weed, like, months ago. “That’s like, bang for your buck. This is simple math, Will Byers. Keep up.”

    In which it’s well past midnight in New York, Will can’t sleep, and Mike feels like they barely know each other anymore.

    So, they get a little high. Mike is very normal about all of it.

    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

    Mike Wheeler isn't gay.
    Or at least, he wasn't, until he made out with Will Byers.
    ----

    When he turns around, Will is already on his bed, because of course he is.

    He’s sitting the way he always does– sprawled just slightly, one knee bent, hands braced behind him like he owns the place. Like they are normal. Like they haven’t crossed some invisible line that Mike can’t stop obsessing over.

    Something around Mike’s lungs tighten painfully.

    God, he wants to kiss him.

    He wants to close the distance and press his mouth to Will’s and feel that soft, familiar warmth again. Wants to see if it still feels like lightning. He wants to know if it feels different now, with the sun still up and the house awake and the world very much watching.
