    Summary

    Mike starts walking down the stairs without realising, making one step at a time, keeping his eyes on Will, not being able to move his gaze. It doesn’t seem to be a problem, considering Will is absolutely mirroring him, moving towards him up the stairs, his eyes locked on Mike’s. 

    He doesn’t want to give himself a false hope but oh god Will’s eyes are so starving Mike cannot take it anymore. Mike can feel his want tingling on his fingertips. The greed felt like an old friend because it never left his side, not since he met Will. He always wanted more of him, all of him. Mike was so, so damn greedy but he was fine with eternal damnation if it meant to have Will beside him at all times. 

    (or: Mike cannot sleep or stop thinking about the boy in his basement. He reflects on all his life choices that brought him to this situation)

    Summary

    "This has been a recurring problem since Will came back from the Upside Down. Mike feels like he can’t take his eyes off him, ever. What if he disappeared again? Mike couldn’t let that happen. He’d already taken Will for granted once, and look what had happened.
    Will’s watching him carefully now. “I can go back home this afternoon, if you want. By myself, I mean.”
    Mike scowls. “Why would you do that?”
    Will breaks the gaze and looks back down at his drawing, smudging a line. “So you can go to bed at a decent time. And not wake up in the middle of the night every time I have a nightmare. I’m sorry.”
    “Don’t be sorry! I want to be with you. I missed you. I’m…” Mike looks down at Will’s hand that’s closest to him, gripping a bright yellow pencil and tapping it against his notebook. He thinks about reaching out and grabbing it, just for a moment. To steady him. To let Will know that he’s not going anywhere. I’m scared of losing you again, he finishes in his head. He feels scared to say it, though he can’t name why."
