    Summary

    Will stirred sleepily to the sound of voices and a heavy weight beside him.

    “Whazup?” he mumbled, lifting his head off the pillow and blinking in the darkness.

    “Shhh, it’s fine,” replied Mike’s soft voice, breaking through the stillness that had followed Will’s muffled question, “I’ve got this one. You can go back to sleep.”

    Mike and Will take turns staying up with Holly, who has begun to have nightmares about the monsters in Hawkins. Things take a curiously domestic turn.

    Summary

    Mike's breath hitched again, not out of fear but something else— something he was too afraid to name, something he had suspected for a long time and buried deep.

    Across the MAC-Z, Will wiped at the blood under his nose.

    He’s beautiful, Mike thought fleetingly— unable to control it, and secretly not wanting to either.

    Then Will fell to his knees, and time snapped right back into place like a broken rubber band.

    or, Mike and Will in the immediate aftermath of the MAC-Z (ft. Lucas) ; 5x04 coda

    Summary

    If Mike were to be questioned about what happened earlier, he would say that he didn’t mean for it to happen at all.

    And, like, yeah, he’s not lying or anything. He really wasn’t planning on kissing his best friend straight on the mouth in a valiant attempt to shut him up, but saying that he didn’t mean for it to happen implies that it was a mistake, accidental, unthinking, even; and that’s–well–that’s not strictly true, either.

    Summary

    The compliments had started small.

    “You did good,” Will had murmured, a few hours after the battle, as Mike tried very hard not to cry or pass out and Will clung to consciousness by a breath. And then, the next day, “Thanks for always being there for me. I couldn’t have done it without you.”

    Totally normal. Totally Will. Mike could handle that.

    But then it… spiralled.

    “Your hair looks good today,” Will said one morning in the kitchen while trying (and failing) to pour cereal without spilling half the box.

    Or, as they were walking to the Byers’ car: “I love your freckles. You know that, right?”

     

    💕💕💕💕

     

    Will starts complimenting Mike.

    Mike stops functioning.
