    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

    “I didn’t want to lie to you.” Will’s voice is quiet and breakable, so different from the defensive, factual tone it should be. He should be meaner. Harsher. Crueler. “I just – I didn’t think it’d matter.”

    It feels like Mike’s entire body trembles, shakes like it’s about to burst. “You didn’t think it’d matter if you lied to me?” He hisses, and his voice cracks, just the littlest bit. 

    Mike Wheeler tries his best to navigate his way through the end of the world, with lots of maybes and misplaced anger.

    Summary

    “Did I do something wrong?” Mike questions, mouth twisted in a frown, eyes less wide than they were a few moments ago, sleepiness gone. His arms stay at his sides, although his fingers fiddle with his sleeves. “What did I do wrong?”

    Will frowns back. “You didn’t do anything wrong.”

    Mike doesn’t look like he believes him. Will doesn’t blame him. “Then why do you keep leaving?”

    The world ends, and then some. Mike and Will find each other again, amidst the debris and distance.
