Summary
Will finds himself alone with Mike after he comes out.
–
“Tammy,” Mike repeats, more sure now as he stands to his full height. “Who’s… Tammy?”
“I–” Will doesn’t know what to say.
“Is he… the person you had a crush on?”

Summary
Feelings of dread consumed Mike. He ran over to Will, shaking him in an attempt to wake him up, but he was out cold.
“Will!” Mike screamed, tears forming in his eyes. “Will, wake up!”
Joyce was suddenly by his side, trying to pat Will’s cheek in order to get his eyes to open. “Will!” She called, her voice breaking, “My boy… please….!”
And then it all hit Mike.
All the feelings that he had been trying so hard to suppress. All the thoughts that pounded at the back of his mind. It all came rushing to the forefront of his brain. There was no denying it now, not as Will held on to life by a fraying thread.
It all rushed through him as he clung to Will, his sobs unable to be stifled. There was no sign of him waking up, and maybe he never would again.
“Will, please,” he cried, “I can’t lose you again. You can’t leave….”

Or when Mike has an epiphany that forces him to confront all the feelings that he had done so well to bury down throughout the years, causing him to rethink the events that occurred throughout the many months that the Byers lived at the Wheeler residence between the events of season 4 and season 5.

Summary
And maybe because he’s looking so closely, or maybe just because it’s Will and Mike knows all his little tells like the back of his own hand—better, probably—he knows that Will’s about to collapse probably ten seconds before it happens, and he’s moving, skirting around the mangled corpse of the demogorgon and sliding the last few feet through the mix of blood and Upside Down slime to drop to his knees and catch Will just before his head would’ve hit the concrete.

Picking up right where vol 1 left off, the right side up gang regroups and Mike has lots of feelings about everything that's happened. This is 100% a byler fic, but it's just as much about Mike having (or at least starting) his version of Will's self-acceptance/gaining his powers arc, because he needs and deserves it.

Summary
“Did I do something wrong?” Mike questions, mouth twisted in a frown, eyes less wide than they were a few moments ago, sleepiness gone. His arms stay at his sides, although his fingers fiddle with his sleeves. “What did I do wrong?”
Will frowns back. “You didn’t do anything wrong.”
Mike doesn’t look like he believes him. Will doesn’t blame him. “Then why do you keep leaving?”
The world ends, and then some. Mike and Will find each other again, amidst the debris and distance.
