    Summary

    “I’m up, m’up,” Jayce said when he felt Viktor’s presence hovering over him on the couch, trying his hardest to open his eyes. Or he thought he said that. Judging by the quiet huff of amusement Viktor let out, it had probably come out in a garbled mess.

    “It’s quite alright,” Viktor murmured softly, and then Jayce felt the weight of something, a blanket, being drape over him. Warm and soft. “You can sleep here, if you want.”

    Jayce felt, absurdly, almost embarrassingly emotional. Tears prickled at the corners of his eyes. Gratitude lodged like something fragile in his chest. He managed to open his eyes long enough to choke out. “Thank you.”

    Viktor smiled.

    An study on soft moments.

    Summary

    Off the bat, Hopper just assumed that Mike coming along was one big plot to get back together with El. That’s what he’d been bracing for, at least; having El post up in he and Joyce’s room on an air mattress, keeping the door open three inches when she was hanging out with the boys in their room.

    But that’s not what happens. Not what he thinks happens, at least.

    Or, Hopper has a feeling about Will and Mike.

    Summary

    “Like El.”

    The words are so quiet, so unmeant to be heard that if Mike was any less perceptive, he wouldn’t catch them.

    “Exactly like El. Maybe even cooler, because she was trained and you - you had no idea you could ever do that. Super cool.”

    Mike refuses to unpack the weird, rotten feeling forming at the bottom of his throat at comparing them. He swallows around it until it lands in the darkness of his soul with a thud, leaving nail scratches on the shame already packed there.

    “Oh.”

    or

    Will has powers. Mike is a little bit of an idiot about it, until he isn’t.
