Summary
Will Byers has been lying about the painting for years. Mike Wheeler only found out the truth recently — and he's been carrying it in silence ever since.
One night in the basement, surrounded by dice and dust and years of things left unsaid, the truth finally catches up with them — and it doesn't go the way either of them expected.
What starts as a heated argument turns into something much more intimate. The van. The painting. The words Will never meant to say out loud. Mike doesn't let him run this time. He pins him against the wall, underneath the painting Will made for him, and makes him repeat everything he said in that van — not like it was from her, but like it was from him.
Because it always was.
Or
After a heated argument, Mike Wheeler stops running and fucks Will Byers in front of the painting.
