And another.
Across countless different lives, Mike sees how things between him and Will could end: the worlds where they never meet, the ones where they drift apart, and the ones where he realizes too late what Will meant to him.

Summary

He couldn’t believe that he’d gotten to do this before, that he’d forgotten this.

ever get the feeling that you're never all alone? by falloutboi for Wheeee, glossyjm

Summary
Anyways, the point is, Will thinks, that maybe his ghost roommate has escalated from small pranks and is actually now watching Will. Will supposes that's fine, but he does think that maybe it's a little perverted of the ghost to watch Will masturbate. Will trudges back into the house to wash his hands in the kitchen, crinkling his nose. He probably should be more upset about having a perverted ghost roommate, but sue him, he's lonely (and kind of horny).
Will dries his hands off on an old dish towel and resigns himself to spending the rest of the afternoon on the couch, lounging around and flipping through channels on the staticky box TV.
Maybe his perverted ghost roommate likes The X-Files too.
In which Will thinks that his house is haunted (and he's right).

Summary
“I used to think love was pain, suffering, and something fleeting — something that only mattered because it never lasted, but now I know it doesn’t have to be that way.” Will looked at Mike, tears brimming in his eyes.
Will never had anyone to look up to when it came to love. Lonnie never showed it to him — all he left behind was a collection of traumas and the belief that love always hurts. He will only manage to break all of those myths when the boy with black curls and freckles scattered across his nose looks at him the way Will had always dreamed of, and for the first time, the world takes on shades of yellow and blue.

"It's okay," Mike said softly.
Will looked up, surprised. He didn't expect him to be so calm about it.
"It is?"
"Yeah. I mean, I understand. You left, I'm still here. You're trying to move on and all... I just don't want to lose you Will."
He could feel his heart drop, this was not how he imagined this conversation going.
"You won't. I'll always come back at some point."
or
Will and Mike see each other at Joyce and Hopper's wedding, which is a bit awkward after Will avoided Mike's letters for almost a year.

Summary
“Kiss me.”
That made Will stop in his tracks. He let out a gasp, slowly turning around and seeing Mike stare at him with a mix of emotions that even he couldn’t decipher.
“Mike.” was all that Will said, trying to ignore the butterflies. He really shouldn’t even consider it, no matter how long he dreamt of this moment.
Mike walked over to Will and dropped to his knees, wrapping his arms around his legs and refusing to let go.
“W-What? Mike! Get up! What are you doing?” He questioned, looking at his best friend like he was crazy. He tried pulling Mike off but he refused and hugged Will more tightly.
“No.” He looked up at Will, his eyes pleading with desperation. “Kiss me. Kiss me as if the world were ending later.”
What the actual fuck.
════ *.·:·.✧ ✦ ✧.·:·.* ════
