    The thing is, Will’s a pretty crier.

    And that was the source of all of Mike’s issues.

    Summary

    “Just saying, if you’re taking another hit, you should share it with me,” Mike says, and Will slowly tilts his head, drinking in every word. “It just makes sense. Like, mathematically.”

    Will’s reddened eyes narrow, bewildered. “Mathematically?”

    “If there’s two hits left, we’d each only get one,” Mike explains. “But if we shotgunned, we’d both get two.” God, this is the best idea he’s had in ages. He should’ve stolen Will’s weed, like, months ago. “That’s like, bang for your buck. This is simple math, Will Byers. Keep up.”

    In which it’s well past midnight in New York, Will can’t sleep, and Mike feels like they barely know each other anymore.

    So, they get a little high. Mike is very normal about all of it.

    Summary

    Their little game starts off innocent enough. They are lying side by side in Mike’s bed, both staring at the ceiling, fighting sleep to come and take them. Mike had turned to him, quiet and tentative, and whispered across the space between them:

    “Tell me a secret.” 

    It spiraled from there. Fast and uncaring of the damage in its path, like a shooting star.

    *
    Plagued by nightmares in their college apartment, the only thing that can settle either of them is each other.

    Summary

    “That’s not my favorite.”

    “Oh.” Will blinks. “What is?”

    Mike’s tongue darts out to wet his lower lip. “O negative.” Will feels a flush move across his entire body. His magic hums inside of him, excited. His fingers twitch against the carton. Maybe Will was wrong, maybe this is different than having a favorite kind of pizza. More personal. O negative sits differently in Will’s head than double black olives with extra cheese does. More intimate.

    “Oh.” Will blinks again. And maybe O negative sits differently in Will’s head, because it also flows through his veins. He feels obligated to tell Mike. “I’m O negative.”

    Mike’s pupils widen again. “I know.” His voice is low, gravelly.

    Will’s breath hitches again. “You know?” He flinches when Mike’s fingers graze his, peeling the carton out of Will’s hand.

    Mike takes a deep breath. “I can smell it.”

    Or, five times that Will offered Mike his blood and the one time that Mike accepted.

    Summary

    Mike pushes into his hands, but Will keeps him still.

    "Ask again," he says. Because he's greedy, and he wants Mike to want him.

    He stares at Will's mouth. "Please."

    "Again."

    El is gone.

    Will tries to figure out how to move on in New York, and Mike follows him. Their apartment is haunted not by ghosts, but by the two of them.

    Or: Catastrophically traumatized boys cling to each other and accidentally figure out how to be close—too close—while moving through their grief.
