Summary
Slowly, he rolls onto his side, curling inward without meaning to. His palms settle against his lower stomach, fingers spread wide, hands bigger than they used to be. Or maybe all of him is bigger, and he's aging, and his body is just more his now than he can remember.
He feels so empty.
Just one heartbeat, only his voice in his head, one lonely body curled up in bed.
---
“Will, come on.” The doorknob rattles. “You're freaking me out.” Mike sounds closer now, worried. “I'm sick of you pushing me away. I'm not joking around.”
Will imagines him standing on the other side of the door, one hand gripping the frame, eyebrows drawn together. Waiting, the way he always is.
“At least let me know you're alive in there.” Mike's voice cracks, and the sound makes Will's throat tighten immediately. “Will, I'm serious, and I mean it. I'll break this door down.”
or, my take on Will's trauma from Henry's assault and the slugs, post canon. Read tags!!

Monday, you can hold your head. Tuesday, Wednesday, stay in bed. by StaysBlossom

Summary
Feeling flooded back into his body. His head throbbed mercilessly, skull heavy and aching. The light overhead scorched his eyes, forcing them to squint against the brightness. It didn't help that the world tilted again, spinning just as it had earlier that day, colors bleeding into one another as shapes warped and bent unnaturally.
His tongue felt thick. Uncooperative. His lips numb and sluggish. Blurred shapes crowded into his periphery. Darkness pressed in at the edges of his vision.
And then there was nothing.
OR; Will gets a concussion after hitting his head during The Crawl and Mike looks after him.

Summary
Will doesn’t know how they got here. Ten months ago, things were good. They were good. Mike was his friend. Mike was the one person who treated him normally. Like he was his old self again.
But then again, normal boys don’t die for a week and come back. When normal boys die, they stay dead.
Things Will knows, things Will doesn't know, and things Will learns, in time.
