    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

    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.

    Summary

    Mike moves in his bed, and Will's eyes stay firmly on the ceiling. "I feel like we barely know each other anymore." 

    And Will can't argue with that, so he replies, "What do you want to know?" 

    There’s a long lapse of silence, and then – 

    “Can you come up here?” 

    In the wreckage, Mike and Will spend a series of nights together.

    Summary

    His hair is disheveled from the heat and from—you know—burying a dead body—and the back of his neck is smudged with dirt and shimmering with sweat. The sun is going down, casting him in an orange-red light, and something inside of him pulls. Behind his ribcage, throughout his heart, feeling like it’s coming from his soul itself.

    Look at me, Mike thinks. He pushes the thought forward—wonders vaguely if this is how El uses her powers—and then pushes the thought harder. Look at me.
    or
    the journey through Mike's feelings on the van trip.
