    Summary

    From the other side of the door he can hear Jonathan’s voice. Low, careful, cracking around the edges.

    “Will, come on. Just a little, okay? You don’t have to finish it.”

    The silence isn't anything new. Will’s been quiet all day, but he's been quiet for months before that.

    I-... I'm glad you asked, Mike. I'm glad you're my best friend. I know it's silly, but- sometimes I think God let me have you as a best friend to make up for everything else. Or that maybe I just got so lucky meeting you that everything else needed to be evened out somehow.

    Mike squeezes his eyes shut, jaw tightening. He couldn't shut down right now.

     

    --- 

     

    “I heard you talking to Jonathan,” Mike murmurs instead, not letting himself hide away this time, not when Will was withering away in front of him. “About eating.”

    Will’s lips press together. Mike tracks it like a hawk. It’s just them here. He’s allowed to care. It’s just them.

    “I’m not hungry.”

    "You haven't been hungry in days. You're never hungry."

     

     

    Or, a small post season five fix it fic, because depression doesn't just disappear, and Mike and Will need each other now more than ever.

    Summary

    Point was, Mike Wheeler liked to be needed.

    And Will Byers?

    Well…

    Will swallows, eyes focused pointedly on Mike’s long, slender fingers. The way they twist and they pull, fixing the broken strap to Will’s backpack.

    Will Byers loved when Mike fixed things for him.

    It was becoming a problem.

    He didn’t mean to start doing it, but it just… happened. Maybe he was using Mike’s kindness against him, but it was difficult not to, and Will couldn’t feel too badly about it when Mike looked down at him with lidded eyes, one hand dragging up along Will’s side, voice sweet. “Better?”

    “Yeah,” Will murmurs, grabbing the bag with trembling fingers. “Yeah, it’s better.”

     

     

    Or, Will comes up with a plan that could benefit the both of them. Mike gets to be a hero in every day life, and Will? He gets to have Mike's attention.

    Summary

    I wrote this at like 3:00am based on a dream I had. So.
    .

     

    Mike was touchy, it was just in his nature.

    Maybe that's why, when Mike reached out, hands cupping his own, leaning in close, a murmur of “I miss you, Will. I miss us,” all Will did was squeeze back, the way he always had.

    It started off the same as always, something unintentional that Will could brush off, accident touches that slowly grew into something friendly, platonic, normal. The occasional nudge of an elbow to his side, a long look and a hand reaching out to grip his shoulder. Simple. Friendly.

    But now?

     

    Now Mike couldn't seem to be able to keep his hands off of him.

    It was driving Will crazy.

    Summary

    Sometimes, all he can think about is how he’ll kill himself.

     

    “Will! Will, come on- come on, wake up-”

    His lungs shudder as he breathes in, hands gripping his face, his shoulders, alternating wherever they could.

    “That’s it- that’s it, come on, come back to me-”

    He feels dizzy, out of it, the way he always did. He’s pulled into a chest, a heartbeat he could spend forever memorizing, and tries to get his bearings.

     

    Or, Will is going through some shit. He knows a way to get out of it, but... no one seems content to let that happen.

    Summary

    “Is it Tammy?”

    Will feels his face scrunch up in confusion, pulled clean out of his thoughts by the absurdity of the question. “Tammy?”

    “Earlier, you said- it’s Tammy, right? The reason you’re- you’re ignoring me? We have to be a team, right now-”

    Will blinks for a moment, head shaking as he leans it back, trying to think of how Mike could be so… so out of the loop. “Mike, Vecna is going to kill us, I don’t care about Tammy-”

    “But you like him, right?”

    “What?! Tammy Thompson?”

    Mike lags, freezing. “Thompson?”

     

     

    Or, Will is preparing to give up one last thing for the people he loved. The last thing he hasn't given them yet. His life. Mike, however, is a lot more concerned with whoever this Tammy person is and why Will cared about them enough to include them in his confession.
