Summary
The demogorgon does not die quietly. It dies inside Will.
In the aftermath of the Mac-Z attack, Will Byers realizes that fighting back awakened something he never knew he had. The power that answered him is not something he understands. It refuses to stay quiet.
Vecna left him alive. The military watches too closely. The Upside Down presses closer to the surface.
And somewhere beneath it all, something has been waiting for him to answer.

Summary
Max arches a brow. “Carlton, though? You two are dating and you don’t even kiss? Is it just a preference thing?”
Will sighs, resigned. He drops his hands. “Okay. Honestly?” He hesitates, then shrugs. “He was a bad kisser. And I just… couldn’t get excited around him. At all.”
The reaction is immediate and merciless. Dustin makes a dramatic gagging noise. El gasps like she’s been handed gossip gold. Lucas high-fives Max, shaking her hand in his.
Mike doesn’t say anything. He just watches Will, watches the way he shrugs it off, the way he laughs a little too loud, the way his ears go red.
Or, Will's new boyfriend is a bad kisser. Mike thinks it's a crime that no one has kissed Will properly. He's on a goal to change that, Carlton be damned.

Summary
Mike can't help but murmur, in between breaths, panting, "am I a better kisser than your boyfriend?"
Will swallows hard and tugs him into another kiss ferociously, irritated but hungry.
Which just about answers his question anyway.
