Chapter Text
Prologue :
Will watches too weak to move as a demogorgon reaches no ATTACKS towards lucas, robin, and… mike MIKE. “useless, weak, powerless” the words ran through Will's head practically throbbing every few seconds.. Until, * a swing set blue and yellow and a little boy with a bowl cut swinging alone then another boy approaches with dark curly hair “ do you wanna be friends “ * The memory striking so suddenly with the wise words of robin “ i just needed to stop being so dumb “ gave will a sudden strength one he did not recognise unfamiliar in his mind and in an instant the demogorgons flying, their bones snapping cracking just like the current victim had happened.
Chapter 1: Changed for Good
Mike freezes in fear of the 9-foot gross slimy monster in front of him. Mike covers his face in a last defense move, and just when he thinks he's about to die, *silence* Mike looks up, still shaking from fear, when he notices the demogorgon had not attacked him; instead, it was floating. For a moment, Mike ponders thinking maybe el is back from the upside down, but no he turns his head and finds will standing there with his arm out his eyes completely white and mike notices how beautifully wills hair falls on his face the complexion of wills jaw and arm, it was this moment Mike noticed his best friend had powers and it was beautiful. Within the blink of an eye, Will had collapsed to the floor, passing out. “WILL, WILL!!” Mike screams from across the way, and within another blink of the eye, Mike is dashing over to will his head, still stinging from hitting the floor too hard. Once over at will he shakes him lightly “ will will please wake up” mike looks around anxiously searching frantically for someone else then he spots joyce across still looking and frozen in shock “MS BYERS PLEASE COME HELP ME GET WILL UP” joyce runs her way over with what mike believes is the fastest she can go “mike where are we going with him?” mike thinks for a moment before saying “lets just get him to radioshack for now then we can contact the others and figure out how to get will there” joyce nods in agreement and then with mikes help carries the passed out limp body will to the radioshack. Once inside, Mike picks his walkie up to contact Robin, Murray or lucas “ robin lucas murray do any of you copy I REPEAT ROBIN LUCA-” “YES I COPY ITS ROBIN AND WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED THERE WAS A DEMOGORGON IN FRONT OF ME AN-” “ROBIN ROBIN calm down we will explain everything at the WSQK MEET US THERE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE” mike shuts the walkie off in an instant clearly pissed off

AT WSQK
Finally, after what felt like forever of trekking through endless grass and gravel to get the WSQK, with still passed out Will, Mike, and Joyce, had arrived at the WSQK, “Mike, can you hold Will for a moment? I will knock on the door.” to think Mike gives a kind nod. Joyce walks up to the door “ROBIN LUCAS MURRAY ITS JOYCE MIKE AND WILL LET US IN” the door comes to a sudden open and joyce stumbles as she was still knocking, robins blonde brownish bob hair cut peaked from the door “oh hello is will al..alright? do you need any help with him?” robin then comes out of the WSQK and goes to help pick up will “hes fine i can hold him” mike looks at robin more mean then robin has seen him look before to which she steps back honestly a little afraid of him mike scoffs and drags will back inside carrying him to the couch meanwhile robin stays back and watches wondering why mike was so sudden to snap at the hands of will. Mike places will gently at the couch careful not to wake him up admiring the way his eyelashes laid on his face the hair on his face and the way his lip- why would mike be looking at his best friends lips and a sudden knock at the door mike quickly whips his head around “mike?” Mike stands up and goes to the door “oh hey ms byers can i help you with something?” Joyce peeks into the room to look at her son "I was just going to tell you that you can rest an.. And i will watch will for a little ok” joyce shoots him a sweet look a motherly one that mike cant exactly ignore instead of protesting he agrees and steps out of the room, once he's out of the room he is pacing around right outside of the door waiting for will to wake up HE wanted to be the first one to greet will when he woke up to be the first person that will sees but mike guessed will would probably want to see his mother it makes most sense once he thought about it.
Across the room, Robin noticed Mike pacing around nervously “ Mini Wheeler, you alright? You look like your dog just died?” Mike shoots her another evil glare, and Robin starts to think Mike must just not like her much… “Can I talk to you for a second, Mike?” Mike has nothing else to do while he waits for Will to wake up, so he reluctantly makes his way over to Robin, who is sitting in a chair. “Yes?” Robin can't help but smile at the fact that Mike and Nancy share very similar mannerisms when speaking to people they are annoyed with; they are siblings after all. “When will saved you and us from the demogorgon since you got to see him? Did he look cool? Or was it scary?” mike stumbles on his words for a second “it wasn't scary not at all it was * beautiful at least thats what mike wanted to say instead he said * i-it was awesome in fact the most amazing thing i have seen its like.. I-its like time had just.. Stopped” robin looks as if she has a moment of realization but then quickly brushes it off mike doesnt understand why its like words are just spilling out talking to her. “ i can tell you and will are very close” mike looks away from robin “ yea seems you too are getting close as well” mike speaks with a certain jealously in his voice robin cant quiet decode “yes we are close but its nothing like you and will” mike starts to get up “ im going back in there with will” robins eyes dart back to the door and a hint of concern on her face "shouldn't you let will rest maybe? Even if he is still passed out maybe just let him sleep” mike clutches his fist together “ robin you don't know a thing about will at least not in the way i do please just stop talking im going to go into the room no matter what” robin looks a bit upset now not sad but angry at mike “i might know more than you think” robin meant to mutter this but it instead came outloud mike looked at her but just ignored it and just went into wills current room alerting joyce and making her jump “ jesus mike learn to knock you just scared the shit out of me” mike looks down to the floor “y..yea sorry ms byers” mike walks closer to will who is still laying there peacefully now though not as in paint mike resist moving the piece of hair out of wills face just while joyce was there instead he askes “ms byers do you mind if i tell will a story alone you look like you could use some rest anyways and it could be my turn watching wil-” joyce shoots him a offended voice “ i look like i need rest? Well, excuse you, but I guess I-it wouldn't hurt just.. Just please come get me if he wakes up” Mike smiles and nods at her and waits for her to exit before he finally sits by Will's side. There is an awkward silence for a few moments before Mike fixes the blanket on Will's body
*He looks so perfect right now*
Mike doesn't even notice he's staring at Will's lips until he hears a noise, Mike wips his head around to see nothing..? He brushes the noise off as just him tripping out, Mike instead sits for a couple more minutes by Will's side before thinking of the right words to say.
