    Summary

    Will ignores a timid reply from his classmate, his focus fully on this strange interloper that could be his best friend’s twin.

    Evil twin, as Dustin would say, his voice low and incriminating. Ultraman type shit. Will considers relaying the situation on their upcoming weekly call to make the current situation less unsettling.

    The guy is cautiously smiling back now – a reflection of Will’s unconscious expression at the thought of Dustin’s clarification – and it doesn’t falter, even once Will loses his amusement. Instead, the grin widens, almost too big for his face and definitely too big for Mike’s usual range of expression. His eyebrows rise above the rim of his lenses.

    Summary

    Robin pops a cassette into its case with more force than necessary. “Okay,” she says, because she’s annoyingly observant in all the ways Will wishes she wasn’t. “Your face just went full ‘my life is ending.’ What happened in the last four seconds?”

    Will swallows. “Mike was there.”

    “Okay… and?”

    “And he was—” Will gestures vaguely in the direction Mike vanished. “Looking at us. Then he walked away really fast.”

    Robin’s face does something complicated and knowing, but she smooths it over before he can parse it. “Hmm,” she says.

    That’s all. Just “hmm,” like she’s mentally filing the information away under Wheeler Nonsense. Which, if Will is being honest, is a probably a huge fucking file.

    Summary

    “Friends don’t lie?” It’s a callback, an ancient one, a pinky-promise made between two children at the dead of night, one passed on to their other friends, one that hasn’t been followed for a long time.

    “Yeah. Yeah, friends don’t lie. I promise I won’t,” Mike vows, holding onto Will impossibly tighter, like he can speak it into being.

    “Okay,” Will whispers, sounding suspiciously choked up. Sad with a resigned longing that Mike doesn’t know how to soothe. “I promise, too.”

    ~

    After the Byers' move into the Wheeler house and Will starts sleeping in the basement, Mike can't stop himself from hovering at the top of the stairs every time he has a nightmare. With a few bumps along the way, this somehow culminates in a whole lot of cuddling and a hell of a lot more personal introspection.
