Summary
Will's lungs emptied.
Dark hair, pale skin, that familiar slope of shoulders. Mike, standing in the doorway of his dorm—
The mug slipped from his numb fingers. The hot chocolate he had made in place of coffee exploded across the floor.
Liquid splattered up the stranger's shoes—because it wasn't Mike. It couldn't be.• ───────────────── •
Will Byers thought leaving Hawkins meant leaving the past, and the love he could never have, behind. Miles Fairchild has spent his life keeping the darkness inside him at bay, protecting what little family he has left, and never letting anyone close. When they become roommates, their walls begin to crumble. Can Will let go of Mike and see Miles as his own person? Can Miles decide he can trust someone with the parts of himself he's kept hidden? In each other, they discover that safety isn't about escaping the past. It's about finding someone willing to face it with you as you heal.
