Summary
“So. The church?” Miike asked.
“The church.” Will said firmly.
The building radiated with a sort of holy innocence, looking almost untouched and definitely out of place in the Upside Down. Will jiggled the front door handle and groaned. “Locked.” He thought for a moment. “Stand back, Mike.”
Mike did, watching Will back up a few feet. “What are you-”
Will began in a running start before throwing the weight of his body against the door with a bang. The door swung open but Will kept his balance, wincing. “That was loud. And kind of stupid.”
“Are you kidding me?” Mike stared at him in a sort of awe. “I’ve only ever seen people do that in movies. Holy shit. That was epic.”
“Oh shut up.” Will blushed. “It was nothing.” As they made their way into the church, Will took off his jacket, slinging it over his shoulder and stretching out his arm. Mike watched the muscles in his back strain against his t-shirt, his biceps and lats bulge from the simple stretch. Mike swallowed, hard.
“Hey, it’s not too bad in here.”

Summary
“The– The mirror,” Mike gets out between sobs. “Every time,” He pauses. Will can feel his eyelids screw tighter together against his skin, creating new tear stains on his shirt. Somehow, Mike’s voice is even more broken when he continues “I just– I saw…”
“Eddie.”

Summary
Mike offers his mouth as a way to calm a crying Will and Will accepts not knowing the weight of what it means for their future relationship.
➹
That night was beautiful for Will, from Mike’s soft unknowing exploratory touches to the wetness surrounding him that felt like it could last forever– he’d say it was the best day of his life, feeling Mike so close, he could recall that day like the back of his hand, every little detail seared into his head, every lick, every tug, every strand of hair out of place and how dim the lights were but he would exchange that night for the normalness he had with Mike before.

Summary
“Of course there was a part of Will that ached but he could ignore it if he tried hard enough. And god knows he tried.
No, Will didn’t indulge in analyzing the past but he certainly analyzed every thought that had to do with that peculiar ache of his. The ache that over the last year and a half he’d dealt with had become less and less foreign. Now he even took a slight comfort in it, having it there with him, always present. Will knew there was guilt he carried for taking that slight comfort in that ever-present ache. But it paled in comparison to the guilt he carried over what had gone down between him and Mike.”
Or, after a falling out between Mike and Will, an opportunity to put it right again presents itself. The unspoken secret that Will tried so hard to force out of his mind finally seemed beginning to unravel.

“Mike? Are you alright?” Will’s voice was soft and concerned, and fuck, Mike didn’t deserve to know such a caring guy. He shouldn’t be allowed to be cared for, not when he was thinking so...disgustingly.

Summary
“You won’t make it past the state line without me.” Max raises her eyebrows challengingly.
“I think I’ll be fine,” Mike seethes, facing away to return to packing the bag laid out on his bed.
“Have you ever run away before? Didn’t think so.” She closes the door behind her and walks into the room. “You don’t know how quickly they’ll come looking for you. How suspicious you’ll look to everyone. Your parents will have you found in a day, and then you’ll be in deep shit. You don’t want that.”
“How do you know all that?” And for a moment, he sounds impressed rather than angry.
“I’ve run away, like, a dozen times. Last time no one even noticed I was gone. If you really want to do this–” she shrugs. “You need me.”
“Are you offering to help me?”
“Depends where you’re going.”
