    Summary

    Mike points between them again, eyes bright now with unmistakable fascination. “You’re literally the same person.”

    “Mike.”

    “That’s so—”

    “Creepy,” Will finishes.

    “Weird,” supplies the girl at the same time.

    Mike grins. “Awesome.”

    Summary

    Will’s eyes flicked to Lucas. His eyebrows were high up on his forehead, eyes widened, and he shifted up a little straighter, like he was intrigued. Like he knew what was coming, and was bracing for it. 

    “And— and it’s like… shit, it’s like— kind of awful, y’know? Um. To figure out. The thing’s not awful. Well— maybe. Probably. Possibly? You guys might think so. My dad thinks so. I kind of think so? Uh. Well. Not as much. Not anymore?” His shuddering hand gestured outwards, pointing at nothing, a wide gesticulation of no substance or meaning beyond nervous habit. Mike sucked in another harsh breath. “And it’s like… this— this massive thing. Like, life-changing. It’s kind of re-contextualised my whole life, actually. Like I’ve suddenly switched D&D classes, or something.” 

    Or: Mike is the Party member everyone believes is gay. Mike is also the Party member that comes out first.

    Or: the answer to MWTFDYDgate.

    Summary

    Mike stuffs his hands in his pockets as he waits for the door to swing open. When it finally does, his tense shoulders relax a little at the face that appears on the other side.

    Joyce’s eyes widen in surprise when she sees him. Her inquisitive gaze makes him feel small, standing hunched over on her porch in the dim afternoon light. He must look pathetic— like a dog that’s been left out in the rain. “Mike,” she says, her voice laced with mock-cheer. He wishes she would just cut the act already. Kick him to the curb like she clearly wants to. “I wasn’t expecting you.”

    Mike seeks refuge at the Byers’ house during an emotional breakdown. He doesn’t feel very welcome there.

    Summary

    “I have a what?” Mason exclaims, eyes widening dramatically as he leans forward on the couch.

    Will, ever patient, lays a hand on one of the legs he’s currently kneeling between, settled on the living room rug. “A sister,” he repeats. His voice is a stark contrast to Mason’s, all gentle and calm.

    “Yeah, I got that part,” Mason says, dangerously toeing the line into condescension. “What does that mean? Did you go out and adopt a kid while I was at school?”

    ——

    Mason’s biological sister, newly entered into the foster system, comes to live with Mike and Will. Considering Mason’s history with little girls, his transition into brotherhood is not bound to be pretty.

    Summary

    Mike fucked up.

    He knows he’s fucked up the second it happens. He knew he was fucking up even in the moments leading up to it, but honestly he couldn’t bring himself to care— not when the only thing he felt was self-hatred and ice-cold pain, freezing his heart until it numbed to nothingness. He feels nothing still, minutes past the point of no return.

    Mike left out one important detail when talking to Will about his depressive episodes— an ugly, horrible detail that should have stayed buried in the past. Mike just had to go dig it up.
