    Summary

    “We’ll always be here,” El replies kindly. “If things are ever confusing, remember that, okay?”

    Mike swallows the lump rising in his throat. His hands shake with vulnerability. The room feels a bit suffocating, but he can’t tell if it’s from fear or love.

    He thinks it might be love.

    He meets Will’s gaze. He sees an entire galaxy in his eye.

    “You came back,” Will says simply. “You came back to us, and that’s all that matters.”

     

    Season 5, but things don't go as planned. In fact, Mike learns that reality can fall apart in the blink of an eye, and promises are the only thing that can stitch it back together.

    Summary

    (...) "you pick a place to hide, anywhere at all. Think of one.”
    At his prompting, Mike thought for a minute. If he was asked for a place to hide…well he couldn’t think of anything but his basement. Still air, soft blankets. El.
    Mike’s eyes burned.

    “Yeah okay, I picked one.”

    “Alright, then I ask some questions. Try to find you. You only give me yes or no answers.”

    Mike shifted in his seat, “Okay.”

    “The idea is to delve in where your brain goes when it wants to hide,” he explained, “what it finds safe, familiar or innovative.”

    --------

    Something clicked in Mike’s brain, like he suddenly remembered the answer to a test.

    “I’m not hiding.”

    He said before he could stop himself. Dustin’s arms tightened around him, before he pushed Mike away, just enough that he could look at him in confusion.
    Mike blinked, mind suddenly clearer, what was he saying-

    “I’m not hiding, I’m looking for something.”

    -------

    In which Mike Wheeler fights his way to a happy ending.
