    Summary

    Mike looked at him unimpressed. “See you say that. You say that. But you never actually mean it.” He flung his hands out, gesturing at him. “You’re always making stupid promises that you can’t keep.”

    Will gaped at him. This was ludicrous. “Name one promise that I haven’t kept!”

    “You keep leaving!” Mike burst out. He practically shouted it. If the outburst took him by surprise, he didn’t show it. “Everytime I just get you back you end up leaving again. And it was fine at first, I guess. With the Upside Down and the MindFlayer. Like at least then we knew how to bring you back. But now there’s nothing taking you away but you still aren’t here. And I can’t figure out why. I’ve racked my brain trying to understand what’s going on with you but I just don’t get it! We’re supposed to be best friends but lately it’s only felt like that on my side of things.”
    ____

    The Upside Down is gone. Or so everyone keeps telling him. But Will knows the truth. You can burn all the vines and close all the gates. But you can’t flush out a virus once it’s already been spread. After all, how do you kill something that’s intertwined with the very root of Hawkins without affecting the real world?

    Summary

    Will groaned. “This is gonna sound so embarrassing.” He looked up to Mike, who only shook his head in a smooth, subtle motion. “I get… nightmares… night terrors, whatever people call them now. I… I don’t want to disrupt you.”

    "You won’t,” Mike stated as if it were a fact.

    “Mike-”

    “You won't."

    Summary

    But it wasn’t a monster that came out of the trees. It was a person. A boy.

    Mike froze.

    Then he was spotted, and the boy stopped in his tracks; with skillful movements, he quickly slung the rifle off his shoulder and pointed it at Mike’s chest. Mike raised his hands while trying to keep most of his weight on his left leg.

    “Whoa. Hey,” Mike said, his eyes wide as he stared at the tip of the rifle. “Just hold on. I’m not—I’m not going to hurt you.”

    Or: A crawl gone wrong left Mike stranded in the Upside Down. Hurt and alone, Mike stumbles upon someone everyone told him was dead.

    Summary

    His mind would even wander into the scenario of murder. 

     

    The thought made him bite his lip, before remembering he had a project to do. He wiped his face with his hands, and turned back to his project partner. 

     

    Some of the party has witnessed this too, but chose not to question it. Not even Will himself. He'd noticed Mike was a little more touchy than usual, defensive when the group teases Will, even had a soft, relaxed voice when it came to talking with Will that he wouldn't use with anyone else. Will thought that maybe, he's just making sure that he's okay after the events of him going missing and being possessed. 

     

    But he doesn’t think that was the reason why Mike was staring at him while kissing El at a school dance.

    Or: Mike Wheeler as Ghostface.
