    Summary

    Will’s expression smoothes out then, and he’s looking at Mike in consideration, like he sees him in all the ways Mike does not want to be seen.

    “You were jealous,” Will offers it like it’s a fact, simple as that, and Mike nearly doubles over with the shock of it, an immediate blow to whatever unbothered facade he’d been attempting to put on for Will.

    “Was not,” but his voice is so weak that he nearly collapses in embarrassment, an omission of guilt clear as day.

    Mike is in love with Will. He tries very hard to love him quietly.

    Summary

    “Wait,” Lucas takes another glance at Will, specifically at the sweater he’s wearing. “Is that Mike’s?”

    Here’s the other thing about the last eight or so months of Will Byers’ life: he’s been spending his nights, on and off, secretly, semi-occasionally, very frequently, kissing Mike Wheeler.

    He’s confused about it too, don’t even worry.

    Summary

    Will takes a moment, hands clenched into fists at his sides, to rest his head against the grain of the wood and close his eyes. Here, with the solid weight of the door to ground him, he evaluates the facts: the war is over, Vecna dead and gone for good this time. Max is awake, reunited with Lucas and El at last, who both rushed to return to their places at her bedside the moment they knew. The rest of his family is upstairs, the rest of his friends alongside them, alive and mostly well and rejoicing in the fact that a years-long nightmare has finally reached its conclusion. It’s a night for togetherness, for celebrating hard-earned victories, for finally looking ahead instead of back over their shoulders.

    It’s also a night where Will almost killed Mike.

    In the midst of their final stand against Vecna, a possessed Will nearly strangles Mike to death. In the basement bathroom of the Wheeler's house after their victory, Mike and Will confront the aftermath.

    Summary

    “Mike?” Will’s voice quivered, distracting him from his tests, “I don’t think we’re in your basement anymore?”

    “Huh?” Mike stared gormlessly at Will whose head was swinging widely from point to point around the room.

    “We’re not in your basement!” Will said, definitely sounding panicked at this point.

    It took a moment for Will’s words to compute, his brain struggling to catch up as he regained his remaining mental facilities. Which would make more sense had he landed on his head, not his back.

    Not being in his basement would explain the soft landing, white ceiling, and the spontaneous music at least. It saved him a broken back that’s for sure.

    He slowly peeked around the room taking in the large double bed, sturdy set of drawers, and the overflowing bookcase tucked in the corner.

    No way!

     

    No freaking way!

     

    He was back!
