Summary
Silence. Hungry, carnivorous—or maybe cavernous, vast and lined with teeth, ready to bite. The quiet before the storm, the gasped breath in before the heart stops. Tragedy tastes bitter. Blood tastes like pennies. Both are in the air, promises coating the tongue. Something bad is about to happen.
From beneath the bed, something reaches out—a mass of darkness, a shapeless nothing—and it grabs Mike by the wrist, yanks him forward. Mike chokes on a yelp and flails his arm free, blood dripping from where the shadows grabbed him, like the touch of darkness has split him open. He tries to scramble away, unfolds his legs to kick himself back but only makes himself easier, more vulnerable. The unidentifiable mass encircles Mike's ankle, and he screams something agonized, terrified—and then it pulls Mike, clawing at the carpet with his bloodied fingers, under the bed.
This time, the silence isn't hungry. It's satisfied.
will starts entering the mindscape in his dreams on the same night that mike gets taken by vecna. this is probably the least confusing part of everything that happens after.

Summary
Beauty was in the eye of the beholder, but Mike disagreed.
There was no world where anyone could argue that Will was only beautiful to certain people, because that simply was not true.
Will had been personally crafted by Aphrodite herself and Mike knew, without question, that if a blind person were to press their fingertips against Will's face and dragged them across his skin, they could tell that the boy poured heart-stoppening, maddening beauty from every single one of his pores.
***
Ever since Henry died alongside the Upside Down, Mike spent his nights listening to the breathing of one Will Byers right next to him on his bed.
Mike stared, and he wanted.

Summary
Mike, who, for some reason, was staring at Will with a small frown, and then, without any sort of warning, said, “wait, you still like me though, right?”
Will blinked.
Dustin choked on his soda while El immediately started smacking his back with a worried look on her face. Lucas’ eyebrows were so high on his forehead that they looked like they would launch right off, and Max squinted so hard that there was a deep crease in the bridge of her nose.
“What?” Will finally said.
Mike huffed like he did whenever he was annoyed. “I mean, it just - you keep talking about Lucas’ arms - “
“Lucas’ arms?” Both Will and Max repeated.
***
After Will's confession, he kind of figured things would go back to normal, and for the most part, it has.
He just wants to know why the hell Mike keeps talking about Will's crush on him.

Summary
A familiar laugh comes from his right—that recognizable, twinkle-light chuckle that airs towards a giggle when it's late, sometimes more low and husky in the mornings, a sound that Mike craves like water. He whips his head over to see Will approaching the table, his head tilted to the side and his smile lopsided, gentle. Jane is trailing after him, headphones over her ears and looking towards the lunch line, but Mike only has eyes for Will, who glances down at Babygirl Flour and smiles wider as he sits on Mike's left side. "You got your fake baby?"
"My very real baby, thank you," Mike corrects quickly, already grinning as he meets Will's gaze. "And Max's, but she doesn't even want to give our baby a name, so she's barely a parent."
Like the devil, summoned by her name, Max reappears with a lunch tray in hand, plopping down across from Mike with an annoyed look. "It's a bag of flour, Mike," she gripes at him. "Just because you're willing to get attached to the stupid thing doesn't mean that I am."
madwheeler get assigned a flour baby to watch over for two weeks. somehow, this results in both of them getting kissed by the people that they’ve been pining for.
