    Summary

    Was…was Mike’s heart reacting to Will?

    Mike isn’t looking at him. He’s staring hard at his cards as if he hasn’t seen them before, biting his inner cheek, and accentuating his dimple. As Will looks closer, he notices the pink shade spreading over the shell of Mike’s ear, the red emerging from the black curls like a rose sprouting from the earth.

    Was Mike still nervous around him? Hadn’t they resolved that?

    Will decides to test it. He leans onto the bed and rests a hand on Mike’s uninjured thigh, his thumb swiping side to side over the covers, and waits.

    Mike's leg twitches into his hand, and barely a moment passes before the beeps speed up again, a rapid climb from steady to sprinting, and when Will looks, the blush has spread to Mike’s cheeks, his eyes unmoving and glued to his cards.

    Oh. Will gapes at the monitor, the green spiking line. That's not discomfort.

    Oh. He can have some fun with this.

     

    Or: Mike, while protecting Will, gets attacked by a demogorgon. Guilt-ridden, Will stays with him in the hospital, forcing them to resolve the awkward air that has surrounded them for months, and, along the way, uncover some truths.

    Summary

    After Vecna’s death, and being severed from the hive mind, Will doesn’t feel free — he feels empty. The world goes quiet and distant, his senses fading one by one until pain is the only thing that still reaches him.

    He doesn’t tell anyone what’s happening at first, he just takes matters onto his own hands. It starts out simple, pinching his arm during class, biting his lip at the dinner table, throwing a playful punch at Dustin just to receive one back. Small things, safe things, just to keep him grounded.

    However, Will’s craving for pain quickly becomes unbearable. His life starts to revolve around finding new ways to hurt himself — and Mike becomes the only thing that makes it manageable. Mike doesn’t know what’s wrong, only that something is, and he agrees to help Will no matter what. As time goes on, Will’s requests grow darker, obsessive and more dangerous, and what starts as concern turns into something binding, pulling the two of them closer together until Will’s need becomes too much to survive.

    Soon Mike is forced to choose between being what Will needs and being what might save him, even if it slowly destroys them both.

    Steve Harrington. Jonathan Byers. Complete opposites. One is the King of Hawkins High who once dated the oh-so-beloved by all nancy wheeler. The other is a lone wolf who likes to take pictures of stuff and doesn't have anyone in his life besides his little brother and his workaholic mom.
    But as the saying goes, opposites attract each other. And as Steve's relationship slowly crumbles and his girlfriend calls him bullshit, Steve finds comfort in the guy he once called the school's weirdo.
    There's just something about Jonathan that makes Steve feel... Comfortable and... Warm? Nah, screw nancy wheeler. She can go to hell, for all he cares! Jonathan Byers is the love of his life!
