Summary
“Was what true?”
“That you—that you moved on. That you are over me. It was me, right?”
And despite the direction of Will’s current thoughts, that still catches him off guard. His brain works slow, thoughts sluggish. He drops his hands from Mike’s hips to his legs, which is a mistake. His shorts have ridden up with the way he’s straddling Will, and Will finds his fingers on the naked skin of Mike’s thighs.
He has no idea what he would have said. Is kind of glad, in retrospect, that he doesn’t find out, because Mike is looking at him with his eyes blown wide and his lips bitten red, and says, voice rough and plaintive, “Please don’t be in love with someone else.”
Ever since the world didn't end, Mike has been—touchy. Will would be lying if he claimed to mind.

Summary
“Do you mind shutting up?” Max glared at Mike, “Will you should use him as a football, throw him around a little. Maybe that will finally get him to stop talking.”
Will half-choked, “I can’t— I’m not that strong.”
“I wouldn’t mind.” Mike said, before thinking.
Mike vaguely attempts to woo Will in a arm-wrestling contest and comes to a few realizations (after decidedly not swooning).

Summary
“Holly,” he says, “I’m not fucking around. Get in the car.”
The swear, which Mike usually tries to keep out of her earshot, seems to get through to her. If Will were functional right now, he could seal the deal, but he’s locked on the gate. Holly harrumphs and crosses her arms, when Mike hears a roar.
He sees the slimy skin, the sharp claws, and his mind goes blank.

Summary
“And if she was going to lose you,” Will says numbly, “I— I think she’d rather just get it over with quick. Like ripping off a bandaid.”
Still, Mike says nothing. Silent. Patient. Impassive.
Fucking terrifying, and so, so beautiful. Will’s heart, sitting across from him in the backseat of Argyle’s pizza van.

Summary
Suddenly, Mike is twelve, teetering on the edge of the quarry. Maybe tomorrow the paramedics will pull him from the same exact place they found Will's body. It’s a comforting thought, morbidly enough. To die for his friends. To be with Will again.
or: Mike Wheeler has no good, horrible, very bad evening.

Summary
“So weird,” Mike agrees, nodding, dark curls rustling against the pillow. “So, you haven’t like… replaced me?”
He says it almost like a joke, but it doesn’t feel like one. Will laughs anyway, incredulous.
“Replaced you?”
“I don’t know!” Mike protests defensively, eyes back on Will’s hands. “I just worry about that sometimes. That you’ll meet someone way cooler and better in Boston and you’ll like, move on from me, or something.”
He laughs a little at himself, but Will can feel that he’s serious and silently laces Mike’s fingers through his own, stopping Mike’s fidgeting. He waits until Mike finally looks up and meets his eyes.
“Mike,” he says quietly. “I’m never going to move on from you.”Will swears he's moving on, Mike Wheeler and the Christmas spirit just aren't letting him.
