    Summary

    His laughter stops when he notices someone crouched by his door.

    Homelessness is a real problem in New York City, and Will’s heart aches at the thought of someone being desperate enough to get their way into an apartment block as shitty as this one. He shrugs Jason off of him, who lets out a pitying tut. 

    But then the someone looks up, and it’s no longer a someone. It’s Mike Wheeler.

    Will sobers up almost immediately. He lets out a strained gasp - partly from not seeing Mike for.. Almost seven months at this point, and partly from the sheer shock of Mike’s state. His eyes are bloodshot and wet, cheeks rosy and his nose is running. It reminds Will of a child who's fallen and scraped their knee and is trying desperately not to weep over it. It reminds Will of thirteen year old Mike Wheeler. 
    -----
    OR: Will has built himself a new life far away from Hawkins where he's out and proud, and hasn't spoken to Mike for months. But when Mike comes to his doorstep in a state, can Will keep his cool? Or will the past 7 years catch up to them?

    Summary

    Dying jokes are not allowed in the Kaspbrak-Tozier household.

    With that being said, Richie is one sniffle away from breaking that rule (thought not for the first time). He feels like he’s been run over thrice, and left in bed with a sore throat, fever, achiness, and other ailments that are quite literally murdering him.

    Summary

    Eating disorders in media are always portrayed as someone fasting until they can’t, fainting or being so noticeably skeleton-like that their loved ones confront them. Their shirt is taken off, and their ribs are clearly countable, their cheeks gaunt, shaking at the slightest breeze. Mike is not like that.
    -
    He doesn’t think he’s fat. No, he’s always been scrawny. He doesn’t need to control his food. Maybe it’s out of convenience: less food means more money, fewer dishes and a longer time spent being productive. Going hungry is like flicking a switch in his head. Will hasn’t noticed, or if he has, he hasn’t said anything. Mike’s thinner, but he’s always been lanky, so it’s easy to shrug off.

    Summary

    Before Will comes, Mike is dressed in one of Nancy’s old blouses, some trousers (that he’s only meant to wear for formal occasions but his mom’s letting this time slide ‘cause he was gonna be a werewolf, but changed his mind last-minute) and a cape. He likes capes and wears them even when it isn’t a costume party or Halloween. His dad tells him he looks stupid, and that always leads to his parents arguing again, which leads to Nancy being angry at him, even though the only thing he’s done is wear a cape when he isn’t specified to.

    Nevertheless, it’s taking hours for Will to come, so he has to sit grumpily on the couch as his dad fumbles with the TV.

    Summary

    “You’re wearing my sweater.”

    Mike looks up, not realising Will was home. Usually, the cat jumps at the noise of the door, but she’s still peacefully kneading biscuits onto the polka-dot blanket on Mike’s lap. Mike looks down at the pinkish jumper with white stripes on him. He shrugs.

    “It’s comfy and I’m cold.”

    Will frowns. “I’m cold, and yet I don’t go around stealing your clothes!”

    Mike scoffs indignantly. Narrowing his eyes, he shoots a light-hearted glare at his boyfriend. His arms (also covered by the soft material) cross over his chest, unfortunately startling the tortoiseshell and she jumps off, making a mad dash to their bedroom. “Yes. Yes, you do.”

    Or: After coming home from work, Will finds Mike in his jumper. Bullying insues.

    Summary

    Their room is unmistakably theirs. Mike’s diploma is hammered into the wall, next to Will’s piano certificates. On the nightstand, there’s Mike’s inhaler (his worst attacks are at night), a photo of Eddie’s first concert, another of Mike’s first day of uni next to his last, and a mini painting of their cat, Spooky.

    On the bed, Mike is sprawled out. His long limbs had only grown since high school, leaving him tall and lanky, counteracting Will’s sturdy build. Will smiles. Mike’s a bed hog: has been since he was a kid (or, at least, that's what Miss Wheeler and Nancy have spent a lifetime complaining about), and nothing has changed. Especially now that Mike’s always in bed first, since he doesn’t have to worry about interdimensional creatures or assignments.

    Summary

    Eddie goes back to tap, tap, tapping methodically on his laptop, content when the hum of the bathroom light is switched on.
    Still, Richie is Richie, and Richie is accident prone, so Eddie hears a sharp bang, and then a gentle hiss of ”Fuck…”

    Eddie’s better. He’s been better since COVID, since Richie forced him to start therapy. He can go a day without sanitising the table, he’s touching stair railings to support himself when the lift is broken, he’s been clean off his place-bos (‘inhaler’ included) for damn near three years. But he’s still something.

    So, he leaps up, nearly forgets to grab his cane, and darts into the bathroom where Richie is pathetically rubbing his head. Dropping down on his good knee, he cups his husband's face and he melts.

    ----
    Or, Richie's an idiot who bumps his head. Eddie loves him anyway.

    The tags make this sound WAY MORE angstier than it is! I promise it's just idiots in love but one of them gets a concussion along the way!!!!

    Summary

    Eddie’s always late out of the club, and today he’s told Gareth not to bother to wait for him. He has something else on his mind - Mike Wheeler.

    Mini Wheeler was odd. He wasn’t overwhelmingly quiet or shy, but he wasn’t as energetic as Dustin was. His older sister was the school-famous Nancy Wheeler, who was always busy running the school newspaper, and Eddie knew that the two didn’t have the greatest relationship. They weren’t close, despite having some shared trauma that Steve alluded to during his lecture.

    But over the past month, Mike had been skipping sessions, sometimes even avoiding lunch. It was always some lame or vague excuse that nobody really believed, but Eddie always took the attention off the kid by climbing on the tables. Lucas and Dustin were bound to have noticed Mike’s slumped shoulders and distant look. In the quick talk Eddie had with the two, they’d just shrugged and talked about people named Will and El who Mini Wheeler was probably missing. Maybe he was, but Eddie was kinda disappointed the future DM of Hellfire was skipping sessions regularly.

    Summary

    “I want you to meet my parents.”

    They were sharing a blunt outside of Eddie’s trailer on a warm August day. The words came to Steve casually, but Eddie knew his boyfriend well enough to catch the far-away look in his eyes when he says stuff like this, knowing deep-down that he’s being torn apart. The older of the two hummed, leaning back.

     

    Eddie hummed in an affirmative. Honestly, he’d rather die than have dinners at the Harrington household. He wasn’t stupid - despite what his senior year teachers would have you believe - and he’s heard how important the Harringtons are, how the entire town was shocked that Steve didn’t get into college. But they all shook their heads, knowing that he’d get an internship at his father’s company, like any rich kid did. He’d get an internship, is what they all said, even if Stéphanos Sr hadn’t been back in Hawkins for nearly two years.

    Summary

    "Give your mother some rest," Robin jokes, head sticking out of the kitchen. On a normal day, Steve would be able to take yet another mom joke, would've followed it with a laugh, or a snarky comment, or just a sigh. But he's in fucking pain right now and can’t find it in him to even pretend to put up a mask.

    “Rob,” He croaks, voice coming out weak, feeble, a stark contrast from the bite that laced it earlier. The yellow light shining in the Henderson’s living room is a tad too bright, and Dustin and Erica’s fights, and Robin’s teasing, is a little too much right now, and the floor is swaying like he’s on a moving ship. Coloured spots dance around his vision, and his hands become all tingly, a feeling that then moves down to his shaky legs.

    Summary

    'Separating himself from his thoughts, the Redstoner begins to work. He sifted the dry ingredients after thoroughly washing his hands, using the scentless soap. He poured the milk in, measuring it to a tee. He reminded himself to leave some for his coffee and Scar's cup of milk that usually accompanied their breakfast food. The dairy itself is far to cold for Mumbo in the mornings, but Scar complains off the bitter coffee taste, which he has to agree with - but it gives him enough energy to last through the day.

    He beats the ingredients, making sure nothing slosh out the bowl. Scar would have made the kitchen a mess by now, but Mumbo is different. '

    It's the difference between you and me, my love. I'm the best baker because I'm messy,'

    Scar would tease smugly, and Mumbo would flick him back. He represses a giggle and begins to heat the pan and adds a knob of butter.'

    Summary

    'He wakes up again. This time, he can hear better. He can gear the clatter of someone working at a crafting bench, and the meow of his cat. He can almost hear the cloud-soft footsteps that walk over to him. The figure is a mass of coloured dots, like most things have been for Scar lately. If he strains his eyes hard enough, he can sort of make out that the dotty figure is wearing a suit, and his hair isn't too long.'
