   Summary

   In which Will's mind remains closed after using his powers, and no matter what they try, he can't be found. Mike gets pulled into the Upside Down while guarding his best friend's body, runs for his life and is found by Will - but something about him has changed. Mike doesn't want to leave without him...is there even a reason to anymore?

   Or: They're kinda gay and gorey (mind the tags)
