    Summary

    He takes a deep breath.

    “I want him the way I should have wanted Jane.”

    Max is quiet, when he finally manages to look at her again. Her brows draw together slightly, pausing.

    “But,” she whispers, in the space between them. “Will is a boy.”

    Mike feels new tears well up behind his lids.

    “Max.”

    Something shifts in her expression, her mouth parting slightly.

    “Oh.”

    It’s quiet. Mike’s mouth pulls itself into a bitter smile. “Yeah, oh.”

     

    or, it’s summer ‘90, and while everyone is off to college, Mike and Max scoop up ice cream in the rebuilt Starcourt Mall, reluctantly bonding over their shared hatred for children (and Mike’s little sister and idle friends) who just can’t seem to leave them alone.

    or, 5 years later, it isn’t Robin and Steve working at Scoops Ahoy: it’s Max and Mike (who also get accidentally drugged. It's definitely not Steve's fault.)

    (inspired by that gorgeous fanart by falloutlaw on twitter!)

    Summary

    “If you could see one person one more time before the big bad Ruskies obliterate us,” Robin giggles, “who would it be?”

    Steve has been feeling so wonderfully unabashedly honest for these last few minutes or months or however long they’ve been here, tied together in their Scoops uniforms and possibly dying from beating-induced brain hemorrhages or Russian poison that he says, without hesitating, “Jonathan Byers. And I’d give him a big ole kiss.”

    Summary

    The first thing his beating heart ever does is lie, announcing to the world that Hikaru Indou is alive.

    He absolutely doesn’t belong here, without a soul of his own. His insides roll and quiver in a hungry void, completely out of place with the twinkling lights of the human souls all around him. Even the animal souls nearby keep their distance. He shouldn’t be here. He doesn’t feel like he’s allowed to be here.

    He’s happy he is anyway.

    Or: “Hikaru’s” first six months alive.

    Summary

    “Waddaya wanna do?”

    “Talk.”

    ‘Hikaru’ smiles, “About what?”

    Yoshiki presses his back to the closet door, “Why're ya asking me?”

    “...‘Cause I don't really wanna talk.”

    Yoshiki, Maki, Yuuki, and Asako spend the night at 'Hikarus' house and decide seven minutes in heaven would be a fun game to pass the time. But when Yoshiki and 'Hikaru' take things too far, there's nothing left to do but feel.

    Summary

    Hikaru words his wish differently, and leaves the mountain alive and wholly himself as a result.

    He leaves with a tag-along, though.
