    Summary

    “Well, I can tell this means something to him. I’ve got this feeling about it.”

    If Will has a feeling, it means something.

    “Okay.” Mike nods. “Tell me about it. When did you see this?”

    Will breathes out, dragging a hand down his face that settles over his mouth as he looks over it again. “This is… a memory, I think.” He declares, taking a black marker and inking lines between the reds. “A good one. Maybe not happy, but hopeful.”

    (or, the one where will byers spends a lot of time thinking in the shelter at wsqk, and mike wheeler decides to check up on him.)

    Summary

    "Was it a crush?" Mike asks, his voice low.

    "What?"

    "Was that all it was?" His tone is steady, but an ache of pain poorly hides behind it. He doesn't want to accept it, that it was just that. "The—the painting." He brings up, gesturing vaguely with one hand. "You were talking about yourself, right?"

    or Mike can’t accept that Will doesn’t have a crush on him anymore. Neither can he accept that it was just a crush.

    Summary

    We can be heroes / Forever and ever / What d’you say?

    “Okay,” Mike says, gripping Will’s hand. “Here goes nothing.”

    He can feel the vines pulsing around his other hand, reassuring him. Mike can almost envision Will’s voice in his head. You’re the heart. Mike prays that it’s true.

    “I really hope this works, Will,” Mike says, and then he presses his lips to Will’s hand.

    -----

    Or, the only way to save Will is with a true love's kiss. Enter Mike.

    Summary

    "I just need you to know," Will says quietly, and he makes himself hold Mike's gaze, "that if something happens - if I hurt you, or anyone else - it's not because I wanted to. I would never want to hurt you, Mike. Never."

    The words hang between them, loaded with more meaning than Will intended.

    There's a pause where all Will can hear is their breathing echoing against the storage closet's walls. The hum is more distant now, buzzing in the back of Will's mind, but the uneven inhales coming from in front of him sound louder. The breath tickling his nose (because they really are that close) feels realer.

    Mike's eyes are still darting across Will's face, and Will can feel him inhale sharply. "Will, why are you so convinced you're going to hurt someone? What did Vecna show you?"

    Everything, Will thinks. He showed me everything. Showed me killing you over and over until I couldn't see anything else.

    Somewhere between slaying interdimensional eldritch horrors, exploding an entire dimension, and risking their lives countless times, Mike and Will find each other.
