    Summary

    “They pulled your body out of the quarry.”

    It’s a story Mike’s sure Will’s heard many times, but it’s been watered down — rewritten, almost; masked by the exhilaration of the unknown, the riveting supernatural adventure that awaited them. Will doesn’t know the truth — not the full one, at least. The one fogged with cries, splinters in throats, You said he was alive! The air hangs differently now, four years later, and Mike thinks Will can sense it, because he lets out a strained, choked noise.

    Death seems to follow him everywhere. It's only natural Mike breaks down about it, late at night, letting a few secrets slip in the process.

    Summary

    Will takes a moment, hands clenched into fists at his sides, to rest his head against the grain of the wood and close his eyes. Here, with the solid weight of the door to ground him, he evaluates the facts: the war is over, Vecna dead and gone for good this time. Max is awake, reunited with Lucas and El at last, who both rushed to return to their places at her bedside the moment they knew. The rest of his family is upstairs, the rest of his friends alongside them, alive and mostly well and rejoicing in the fact that a years-long nightmare has finally reached its conclusion. It’s a night for togetherness, for celebrating hard-earned victories, for finally looking ahead instead of back over their shoulders.

    It’s also a night where Will almost killed Mike.

    In the midst of their final stand against Vecna, a possessed Will nearly strangles Mike to death. In the basement bathroom of the Wheeler's house after their victory, Mike and Will confront the aftermath.

    Summary

    Mike Wheeler was dying.

    A cruel, painful, humiliating death.

    His parents were going to find his body sprawled out on the Wheeler living room carpet. And his tombstone? Oh, his tombstone was going to be tragic.

    Here lies Mike Wheeler.
    Cause of death: Will Byers Pretty Face.

    💕💕💕💕

     

    Mike Wheeler has faced demogorgons, mind flayers, and Vecna himself — but nothing is as life-threatening as Will Byers pretty face.

    Now Mike is convinced he’s dying (emotionally), Will is oblivious (or… is he?), and Mike doesn't know how much more of this he can take.

    Summary

    Because Robin’s words kept circling through his mind, looping over and over like a song he couldn’t turn off.

    A brush of the knee. A bump of the elbow. A shared look.

    Little signs. Little hints. Little pieces of something that looked a whole lot like possibility.

    And with Mike lying next to him right now, their shoulders nearly touching, their hands inches apart on the bed, Mike watching him with those soft, searching eyes, it was impossible not to wonder if maybe, just maybe…

    Those signs were already there.

     

    💕💕💕

     

    Will’s spent years loving Mike Wheeler in silence. After Robin’s advice and a lifetime of mixed signals, he decides it’s time to finally find out whether Mike loves him, too. Spoiler alert, he does.

    Summary

    “Whatever," Lucas shrugs. "You’re just jealous that you aren’t getting any.”

    Mike raises an eyebrow, like he knows something the rest of them don't. Will looks like he wants to drown him. He probably deserves it.

    In which Will has a love bite, the Party freaks out about it, and Mike is jealous of himself.
