    Summary

    He glanced around the room, at the mess of sleeping bags half unrolled on the floor, and at the windows washed pale with moonlight. His eyes came back to Will.  "So, uh... This might sound… dumb." He scratched the back of his neck.

    "Okay..." Will stared at him with uncertainty.

    "So, um. You don't really sleep. And when you do, you have nightmares." He said it carefully, like he wasn't accusing Will of anything. "And I was thinking, just thinking, that maybe… if you didn't want to be alone tonight... we could, um. Share one?" He rushed to the next part out before Will could even answer. "Not like... jus... just to make sure you don't have nightmares. Or if you do, I'm already there. So you don't have to wake up alone."

    Crickets chirped outside. Will stared at him, heart suddenly doing something dangerous and fluttery against his ribs. Mike wasn't looking at his eyes now, because his gaze had dropped to the zipper of the sleeping bag, bracing for rejection. "Oh."

    or: the night after Will discovers his powers, everyone expects him to be strong. the pressure is so intense that he can't even sleep, but luckily for him, his best friend Mike is there to comfort him.

    Summary

    “Will, can I ask you something?” Mike speaks up, more assured this time. “Yes,” Will replies softly, waiting. There's only the sound of silence for a long moment.
    “Do you remember the painting that you gave to me last year?” He finally asks and Will's heart drops into his stomach instantly. Sitting up straight, he turns to face Mike who stares at him with furrowed eyebrows, his lips pressed into a thin, contemplating line. “The one you gave me in the van when we were looking for El?”

    Will nods. “Yes, I remember.” Mike swallows, turning so he’s facing him straight on. “I was just thinking. Thinking about what you said and about, well about everything and I just need to know for sure if, if—” he stops there, biting at his cheek. His eyes don't leave Wills, not once.

    “If what?” Will asks and he feels terrified, that day rushing back to him like an uncontrollable wave of burning hot water. Lies, misunderstood words, false confessions. Mike’s lips part ever so slightly and then they close, his eyes flickering back and forth between Wills, searching for something he doesn't fully understand. “If what you told me was the truth,” he finally asks, his words a whisper in the darkness of the basement. The truth.
