Summary
In the end, it doesn’t matter. None of it fucking matters. Because what’s really in control is the tension. This elusive string tied between their chests that’s always changing length. Right now it’s so short and taught and strong that Will can’t imagine resisting it. So really, it was never a matter of if he would. Just when. When will he fold? When will he let go and let himself follow Mike into the water?
He dares to glance down at his knees, where he can see Mike’s fingers peeking out from behind his calves (as if he needed that visual reminder that they’re touching), and then back up to meet Mike’s expectant gaze.
He’s going to do it. He’s such a fucking idiot.
OR
Mike & Will have a long overdue conversation on the way back to Hawkins— by, in, and around a random motel pool.

—When Mike comes home after the battle at the MAC-Z to his house in complete disarray, he's absolutely devastated to find the painting Will had made for him torn to shreds. Nancy helps him confront his feelings towards Will.

Summary
“Okay come on guys drop it.”
Perfect, angelic Mike. He knew he loved him for a reason. He’s the best. Will was correct when he decided his favorite in kindergarten. He looks so handsome today.
“Obviously if we were gay I’d be everyone's type. Right Will?"
Nevermind. He hates Mikes. He’s never loved him. All this time he's been wrong. And his hair looks stupid today. Jesus Christ, what is wrong with his friends?

Summary
“Oh, I mean yeah,” Will shrugs casually. Lucas and Dustin nod, equally as casual, like this isn’t something absolutely insane.
Mike, however, is not casual about this. He goes slack-jawed, and his cheeks burn with more juvenile shame. “What- Will?” Mike stammers, eyebrows raising more than what should be physically possible. His voice squeaks, “When?”
“Well, a few times back in Lenora,” Will recalls as he brings out his hand to count, “The first time was when this girl was trying to flirt with me and she invited me to this halloween party, and then there was this guy from my English who invited me to his house with a couple of his friends, and then there was our art club’s celebration after our exhibit went well, I also can’t forget about the winter dance afterparty where-”
OR: During the 18-month gap, the OG party gets together to enjoy the normal teenage experience of playing board games and drinking cheap beer. Except Mike has never drunk before. And he’s not about to make a fool of himself, especially not in front of the newly cool William Byers.

Summary
The air in Hawkins was clear, clearer than it had been in a long time. Yet for Will, it had never been harder to breathe. Every breath felt like sucking in glass, cutting up his lungs and leaving the taste of blood in his throat. It's like he's surrounded by thick honey, each step an effort, each inhale a challenge.
It didn't take Will long to realise something was wrong. Not with Hawkins, not with the Party. No, this was all Will.

After the defeat of Vecna, Will gets sick. Really sick.
