    Summary

    “Do you remember when…” Mike began, slumping down so his head rested against Will’s, “you were possessed by the mind flayer? You were so scared, and we were so young. We were sitting together in my basement, and I promised you that if you went crazy, we’d go crazy together?”

    Will wanted to cry. Of course he remembered that. It was the first time he could point to where he’d realized he didn’t just want to be Mike’s friend. He’d been too young to really identify or understand the feeling at that time, but he had known something had shifted. And he’d almost deluded himself into thinking Mike felt it too.

    “I remember,” Will admitted.

    Mike sighed slowly, like he was letting go of something. Will prayed that it wasn’t him.

    “I meant it, you know,” Mike said. “I’d have followed you anywhere then. I still would.”
