    Summary

    By the time Will realized something was missing, it was already too late.

    The change came quietly—the Party drifting, the laughter fading, the spaces growing wider. Yet to Will, the past still felt close. Like yesterday. Like it could all be fixed if he just reached out.

    So Will stayed. Holding on. Hoping. Believing.

    Until someone stepped into the space he didn’t even know was empty.

    Summary

    Slowly, he rolls onto his side, curling inward without meaning to. His palms settle against his lower stomach, fingers spread wide, hands bigger than they used to be. Or maybe all of him is bigger, and he's aging, and his body is just more his now than he can remember.

    He feels so empty.

    Just one heartbeat, only his voice in his head, one lonely body curled up in bed.

     

    ---

    “Will, come on.” The doorknob rattles. “You're freaking me out.” Mike sounds closer now, worried. “I'm sick of you pushing me away. I'm not joking around.”

    Will imagines him standing on the other side of the door, one hand gripping the frame, eyebrows drawn together. Waiting, the way he always is.

    “At least let me know you're alive in there.” Mike's voice cracks, and the sound makes Will's throat tighten immediately. “Will, I'm serious, and I mean it. I'll break this door down.”

    Summary

    Mike moves in his bed, and Will's eyes stay firmly on the ceiling. "I feel like we barely know each other anymore." 

    And Will can't argue with that, so he replies, "What do you want to know?" 

    There’s a long lapse of silence, and then – 

    “Can you come up here?” 

    In the wreckage, Mike and Will spend a series of nights together.

    Summary

    Mike grabs Will’s hands and tangles them with his own, blinking up at him through his long, dark lashes. His eyes are endless. Solid black, like the night above them. So shiny that Will can see himself, tipsy and happy, in the reflection. “I want to be stuck with you,” Mike whispers, like it’s a secret. “I don’t ever want to leave.”

    Will sucks in a sharp breath, squeezing his hands. “Then don’t,” he whispers back, punched-out and honest. “Stay.”

    Senior year in Hawkins. Will and Mike figure some things out.
