Summary
Mike was missing again.
Not on purpose – at least, that’s what he would claim when someone inevitably tracked him down, because they would find him, even there, sitting high above Sattler Quarry with his legs dangling over the edge of the cliff he’d jumped from all those years ago. He’d woken up that morning with his bedsheets wrapped around his legs and his skin slick with sweat, the phantom-cold fingers of a nightmare still tangled in the folds of his brain leaving frostbite streaks in their wake as they reluctantly retreated to wait for the next time exhaustion won over his will, and he was on his bike pedaling away from the house as fast as his legs would let him with nothing but the clothes on his back when the sun was still only a thought hovering below the horizon.
It wasn’t like he enjoyed making them worry, but the idea of biking back home felt impossible, and he didn’t trust himself to stand and drag his feet away from the cliff’s edge rather than shuffling the mere few inches further to plummet once again, only this time with no one to magically save him partway down.
OR Will finds Mike on a cliff at the quarry, getting eaten alive by his guilt, and they talk.

Bookmark Notes:
it struck Mike not for the first time how easily Will could read him, as if he could hear every thought and feel every emotion the same way Mike had been able to read Will since the day they met; at least, until a couple years ago when he started fucking things up beyond repair, and then it felt like Will was hiding things from him, still letting him in but with doors missing from the hallways of his mind that Mike was sure were there before.
I was never gonna get to hold your hand to weave through the crowds at the arcade without losing each other and pretend to forget to let go.
