    Summary

    “Mikes feet stay grounded under Will, because what if it doesn’t work, what if he’s dead and Mikes about to catch his dead body. What if this works and he needs to soften the fall. Mike doesn’t know, but he’s freaking the fuck out again.

    Will shifts. His head rolls up.”

    Summary

    It’s a chorus of confusion. Mike does not move. No one approaches him.

    And Will barely reacts. That alone, in Mike’s opinion, is damning.

    Mike holds tight to his gun, index finger on the trigger, and does not look away from Will’s face, not for a second. He does not explain himself, despite Hopper and Nancy and El and Mrs. Byers closing in on them, hovering as if a bomb was going to go off.

    Instead, the edge of a growl emerging, Mike speaks only to the monster: “Get out of Will now.”

    Summary

    “’Morning,” Mike grumbled, voice low from sleep.

    “Noon,” Max corrected, as if she hadn’t only woken up thirty minutes before him.

    “Wow,” he replied, squinting at the light. “Nobody thought to wake me?”

    It happened casually after that, so casually it almost didn’t register at first. El laughed at something Lucas said, then turned toward Mike and leaned in, instinctively, easily, pressing a kiss to his lips like it was the most logical way to say good morning to him.

     

    .........

    or: Mike and Will have been together for a year and a half when El comes back. The problem is, El assumes she and Mike are still together. The bigger problem is that Mike doesn’t realize Will thinks he might choose her.
