Summary
Steve thinks it’s a great idea for the extended party to meet up at a lake house in Maryland to celebrate five years since they saved the world. What he’s not so keen on is having to drive a seemingly unsociable and reclusive Mike Wheeler across the country on a ten hour road trip.
However as they cycle through their favourite albums and some hard conversations, they realise they’re more similar than they thought.

Summary
“Hey Will?” Mike breaks the silence a moment later. He keeps drifting to the right, although their hands still keep them tethered together. Will pulls him back every time.
“Hey Mike?” Will parrots back.
“He… he’s not your… boyfriend, right?” The questions out before he can stop it, and it sounds far judgier than Mike intends.
He thinks it’s the wrong thing to say, because for a long moment, Will is quiet. Then he says, “No, Mike. Chance is… definitely not my boyfriend.”
Mike lets out a breath he didn’t know he was holding. “Good.”

Summary
“You’re crying,” Will breathes, his voice quiet enough Mike would consider it a whisper.
Mike pulls back, maybe a bit too abruptly. Will’s hand stalls in the air before falling back to his side.
“It’s fine. I think I forgot to blink. I’m fine.”
What a stupid lie, honestly. He knows that Will isn’t dumb, that he’ll see right through the broken deception in a heartbeat, but his brain begs that Will would just drop it and they'd just go their respected ways and be done with this night. All of this.
Because maybe then he wouldn’t have to hurt anymore.

(Mike is being eaten alive by the thoughts of his childhood ending. he finds out that maybe there is more to that than meets the eye and Will helps him figure that out.) You could also kinda consider this post-canon (a big kinda)
