    Summary

    Vecna is defeated and the party is preparing for final exams. Will has a problem, he can’t seem to relax. He’s tried pretty much everything but he can’t let go. He talks to his friends about it and they all seem to have their own ways of coping. Still nothing is working, he wishes he was like any other teenage boy, wishes his trauma wouldn't get in the way of a very natural biological function. But he just can't seem to get Vecna's visions out of his head. Enter Mike.

    Mike gives Will the massage of a lifetime.

    Summary

    Mike loves almost everything about living with Will, except for Carlton. Will comes home late one night clearly upset, Mike asks about it. He tells Mike that sex with Carlton isn’t what he expected. Mike, being the good friend that he is, offers to show Will how good sex can be.

    Or: Mike shows Will that he’s not broken, and that he deserves to be treated gently.

    Summary

    Mike thinks back to the painting Will gave him, rolled up and placed carefully in his dresser drawer, because for some reason it felt too wrong to hang it up on the walls with everything else. Too intimate. Like Will had made it for his eyes only. Or, apparently as everyone else thought, some mystery lover in California. And then he thinks about Will dozing off on his bed, and saying I think I’m in love with you all soft and slowed down from the inertia of sleep, and that’s right about when Mike starts to feel seriously lightheaded. He leans back against his bed and focuses very hard on taking deep, even breaths.

    Mike contemplates his feelings for Will Byers, partakes in a concerning amount of swooning, and learns to drive. Sort of.

    Summary

    Will lets out a small squawk as Mike’s hand— his very cold, very freezing hand— finds its way around the blankets and under his sweater. “I’m sick, you weirdo,” he says, half-laughing into the side of Mike’s head, “I have a fever.” 

    “I don’t care,” Mike mumbles, “you’re warm and I’m cold. This is nice.”

    “You’re going to get sick,” Will tries, for the umpteenth time, but it’s pointless. Mike Wheeler is stubborn and hardheaded and he never does anything halfway— not even this.

    Will gets sick. He's dealing with it. Seriously, Mike- he's fine.
    (or: a study in intimacy.)
