    Summary

    What Mike is trying to say is that if it’s between him, or someone he loves, he will get them to safety while taking the blow meant for them. He will let the bomb go off, and he will take the claws to his chest. He doesn’t care if the price is his life, as long as they are safe.

    So when he hears Holly’s screams from upstairs, Mike doesn’t even give himself a chance to think before he’s grabbing the knife he has beside him from cooking in the kitchen and racing towards Holly.

    Summary

    But I know, if the world turned upside down / Baby, I know you'd always be around

    “Mike?”

    It’s a whisper, but it’s filled with something so earnest, so true, that it strikes through Mike’s very core. Rips apart at his chest, with the familiarity of it. The way his name sounds in this younger Will’s throat, soft and gentle and so, so relieved.

    “Will,” Mike says back, matching his whisper. “Hey, Will, it’s me. Mike.”

    “But—” Will frowns. He’s so unsure, Mike wants to cry for him. “You’re so tall.”

    -------

    Or, when Will is possessed by Vecna and trapped in his own mind, Mike is the only one who can save him.

    Summary

    Argyle’s pizza van rattled along the road, the radio playing softly. Will noticed it before anyone said anything — the way Jonathan kept glancing at El in the rearview mirror, the way her jaw was clenched tight, her hands balled into fists in her lap.

    El looked angry.

    That was new. Especially after a call from Mike.

    Before Will could ask what was wrong, she turned sharply toward him.

    “He is not coming,” El said, her voice sharp with something between anger and hurt.

    “W–what?” Will stammered. “You mean… Mike’s not coming here for spring break?”

    El looked away, swallowing. “He has bad grades,” she said quietly. “His mom is very angry.”

    “Oh.”

    Or

    Left alone in California during the events of season 4, Will and Eleven are forced to rely on each other as secrets surface, truths unravel, and love stories change.

    Summary

    Where Will Byers craved the sort of light that Robin and Vickie shared, only to find himself loving like a ghost; with a devotion that was jagged, invisible, and utterly silent.

    or

    Where Mike Wheeler receives, amidst the howling storm, a shoebox wrapped in butcher paper and unearths a cruel, definitive truth; that he was never the Paladin destined to pluck Will from the abyss, but rather the final gravity that caused him to jump.
