   Summary

   “A nice little heart to heart,” Mike repeats quietly. “About my dead girlfriend.”

   “And his dead sister,” Dustin adds, unperturbed.

    

   Or: Post-canon fix-it, from graduation. Four summers, four winter breaks, and four spring breaks in which Mike Wheeler needs to figure his shit out.
