Summary
His expression is wide-eyed, caught mid-step, and he’s probably realizing that he’s walked straight into something he wasn’t supposed to see.
“Mike—” Will exclaims, the name tearing out of him on pure reflex. He jerks back from his mom too fast, standing up as his heart lurches violently, hands coming up uselessly like he needs something to do with them. “I—”
Or, Mike and Will finally have a much needed conversation.

Summary
“We broke up.” It was easier to say the second time. A simple, devastating fact. “It was… mutual. Quiet. We didn’t tell anyone. Not yet.” He swallowed, his throat clicking. “With… everything. With Hopper. It seemed… easier.”
Will’s arms slowly uncrossed. He was processing, his eyes darting over Mike’s face as if searching for the lie. “Two weeks?”
Mike nodded, a stiff jerk of his chin.
“So… when you were dreaming…”
“It was just you.” The confession was quiet. Absolute. “It’s only ever been you.”

Summary
“Looks like I bit you.” Will tilts his head to get a better look. All Mike can do is stare at him. His fluffy hair at the front, clumped pieces at the back where he’d slid his fingers in a mere few minutes before. His pretty green eyes that look hazel or even brown in this light, the dark circles he gets when he drinks framing them like intricate paintings. A satisfied, bloody smile.
Mike isn’t satisfied. He swallows thickly, choking down the words 'don’t you want more?'
Or: Will dresses as a vampire for a college halloween party, but Mike thinks his costume isn’t bloody enough. Will lets him fix it. Mike goes into a crisis.
