Summary
For a long while, which Will felt too embarrassed to admit, part of the reason he left this secret unsaid was so he could cling on to the smallest scrap of possibility. A little imaginary corner of his mind and heart where he could pretend Mike might maybe, just maybe, one day feel something more.
It was foolish, he knew this. But it had been his.
And now? Now it was gone.
They’ve survived the near end of the world. Now Will just has to survive telling Mike the truth. It seems a lot easier than it is.

"Dustin!" panicked Mike, trying to make his voice louder. His heart was pounding in his ears, and he felt like he had blood in his lungs.
