    Summary

    His hands were cupping his face, the pressure of his fingers against the wound making him scream again. He couldn't see, his eyes blurred with tears and pain in a way that made everything fuzzy, 

    No… wait… only one of his eyes was bouncing around wildly, eyeing the snarling Demogorgon that was sniffing at the fresh splatter of blood on its claw. He was watching it, a keen rising in his chest when he realized that it was only out of one eye. 

    It was- It must've been the blood that was making it hard to see, the blood was gluing his eye shut, that was why he couldn't see. He cried out when the Demogorgon turned back towards him, flinching away when it roared in his face, tensing like it was about to lunge.

    -

    The Demogorgon got to Mike a few seconds earlier, claws ripping through fragile skin and now Mike had to fight to heal and adjust while trying to rescue his sister from an inter dimensional monster. Which is actually pretty hard when he's in pain, drugged to the gills, and can't stop blurting out things that he would really rather not. Case in point: the Quarry, the box of unsent letters in the back of his closet (Ironic, yes, he knows) and his embarrassingly massive crush on his best friend.

    Summary

    Mike Wheeler has not seen the party in over twenty years. It wasn't like they'd all ghosted him; the group had just drifted apart over time. All in their late thirties by now, everyone was living out their happily-ever-afters. Lucas and Max were married with a single daughter. Dustin ran away to California with Suzie to live out her fantasy of escaping her huge Mormon family. Will was in a very happy relationship with his boyfriend, somewhere off in New York.

    And then there was Mike. A failed attempt at an author, off out in the middle of nowhere Indiana, living on multiple addictions and the occasional bi-curious hookup with anyone remotely similar to Will.

    Yeah. He's not doing too hot. But then, something comes to him in a dream. Someone.

    Eleven is back. She's alive. And she's already planned for their reunion back in Hawkins in twenty-four hours.

    He doesn't know if he can handle it; not just facing the party, but himself. His actions. His feelings. Feelings towards someone who is already in a happy relationship. Feelings he'd come to terms with a little too late.

    But he can't keep making excuses. He needs to see them. No matter how painful it may be to see him again.

    Summary

    Will lifted a hand, pushing it to Mike’s forehead— "Are you sure? We should at least tell my mom. She could help figure out if this is an upside down problem, and maybe it could help us out in crawls-“

     

    “I’m not cursed.” Mike cut in, his eyes held a glare that he didn’t mean. He didn’t want Will looking into him, he didn’t want Joyce, or Hopper having to spend a constant amount of time with him.

     

    He wasn’t Max. Max had a reason to be upset, her brother had fucking died in a ‘mall fire’, what did he have to be afraid of?

    Summary

    “Will,” he groans.

    Like a pane of glass disturbed, the illusion shatters.

    Andrew pulls away, leaving Mike’s legs dangling from the counter. “Who the fuck,” he asks through wet lips, “is Will?”

    As it turns out, going to university in a new city doesn't help Mike get over his unresolved feelings for Will. Such is Mike's luck that, when the party reunites in Hawkins for the break, Will seems to be completely over Mike—and he has his extremely likeable boyfriend in tow.

    Or, Mike is the kind of drunk who makes out with a guy while pretending he’s his estranged childhood best friend. You know, in a straight way.
