    Summary

    During the mac-z battle against the demogorgons and Vecna, Will Byers unlocks powers, saving three people close to him, one of which is Mike Wheeler.

    He barely has time to celebrate, because the one power he still didn't unlock is to get over Mike, who has been acting a little bit too much like Will, and Will is in love with Mike, so what does he do with that information?

    He ignores it, until he can't.

    Summary

    “Hey Will?”

    Will glanced up at him, swallowing down the rest of the candy. “Yeah?”

    “Can I ask you something…kind of personal?”

    In any other universe, Will would probably have sputtered and started panicking like a child that’s lost their parents in a grocery store. "Can I ask you something kind of personal" is the question every queer kid dreads hearing from others, even people that they know and trust with their whole heart. Truth be told, Will didn’t feel completely at ease with the question, but considering today’s events, he tried to push his fear down. He felt like he’s been almost stripped bare of all his secrets after his confession. Almost.

    “Yeah, of…of course, what’s up?”

    Mike hesitated a moment, looking down at the carpet. He tapped his toes inside of his shoes. “Who the hell is Tammy?”

    Summary

    Will moves back to an upright position, wiping his hair out of his eyes, head and shoulders peeking above the water. “Mike,” he says, pulling Mike up with him, their fingers still intertwined.

    “Yeah?” Mike says, tilting his head so the water trickles out of his ears, wincing slightly. “What is it?”

    Will’s eyes dart back and forth between his, and then Mike feels his hand squeeze his own. “I don’t want you to, like, think I moved back for you,” he starts, which in and of itself would be enough to get Mike’s soul soaring straight out of his own body, if it weren’t for Will’s thumb pressed against his pulse point like some kind of mortal tether. “Because it’s not like that, I promise. But I think– I think I realized there’s a difference between things you want and things you need, you know?”

    mike wheeler on losing people and having them again, the difference between wanting and needing, and finally letting go.
