Summary
Will and Mike finally get a break after an encounter with Vecna.
Warmth seeped into Will's skin as Mike's hands placed over his - holding for a second - then gently took the pillow and put it back beside the other. Mike stared so deeply - transparent and paper-thin; and Will feared they might fall into each other, sharing more than the oxygen passed between them, the clothes on their backs, the kisses through muffled words in face of the deteriorating world crumbling around them.
Some hours ago, Will stood hopeless and welcoming of whatever torture that Vecna had in store. He didn't care. He just wanted it all to finally stop. Then - despite the red cloudy sky and creatures roaming beneath it - Mike offered Will an olive branch of hope. Something to grasp onto, something as simple as a kiss, a scared mutter of, “I don't wanna do any of this without you.”

Summary
“Where are you going?” Hopper asked.
“My base? Are you guys coming or do you want the flower dogs to eat you?”
“Flower do- oh, demos.”
“What the hell is a demo?”
“Demogorgon? From that game your friends like, ‘Dungeons and Dragons’?”
“I don’t have ‘friends.’” Will said, wrinkling his nose and almost recoiling at the idea. “At least, none I remember.” He whispered, looking away before shaking his head and continuing on the tracks. “And what’s Dungeons and Dragons? It sounds like a fantasy book.”
OR: Will Byers was never rescued from the Upside Down
