    Summary

    His eyes are unfocused, gazing dully at the damage. If he flicked a light on he would surely find blood on the shattered wood and wall. His father’s blood.
    Nobody has cleaned up the stains on the kitchen floor, he doesn’t think. When would it have happened? He hasn’t checked. He’s not exactly hungry now.
    ___

    the night after the final battle, mike goes home.

    Summary

    "Acts of service. Lucas told me it's like some cheat-code he does with Max all the time. Will is going to feel cared about, your weird guilt-hero complex will feel satisfied, and then… boom. Nightmares gone. Closeness restored."

    This sounded absurdly like dating advice. From Dustin of all people would be humiliating.

    or; Will Byers is scarred, but he's healed, just downstairs. Mike is losing sleep over it anyway.

    Summary

    Tami pets his head in sympathy, but she’s laughing. “You know what they say, honey, those who can’t do, teach.”

    “Uh-huh.” It’s the last week of July. The air from the open window smells like hot pencil sharpeners, soft with exhaust from the sorghum harvest. Summer’s final quarter has come with a dusky turn in all the leaves and an addendum to his contract at East Dillon, printed on cheap white paper. “And what’d they say about those who can’t teach?”

    Tami reads from behind him at the kitchen island. She smells like coffee with the last of their creamer. Her hair falls into her face, then his, obscures the words REMEDIAL and ALGEBRA and FRESHMAN. But not so much that he can’t make out what they mean.

    She says, “They pretty much teach, too.”

    Summary

    Will is standing there in the kitchen, soaking wet and shivering. Crying.

    “Will?”

    He turns and instantly, Mike catches the way his bottom lip wobbles despite the fact he’s biting down on it hard. “M-Mike,” he stutters, tears spilling across his cheeks. 

    or: will runs away from home, november 1979
