    Summary

    What happens after the barn.

    ~

    "Niall awakens to the sun, and the scent of green.

    The breeze lilts through the trees, soft, then strong, an undulating ebb and flow whispering in his ears. His skin is hot, and he vaguely wonders if he’s been out in the sun long enough to burn as each of his senses come back online.

    There's a blanket beneath him, white and clean and plush. And behind him, a body; warm, solid, and strong. Arms, heavy and firm, one cushioning his head, the other draped over his waist.

    Niall opens his eyes.

    'Morning, Bambers,' a soft voice says behind him."

    Summary

    Niall knows better than to provoke Ruben. He does it anyway. What follows is harder to explain: Ruben carrying him to bed, kissing every mark he made, and whispering things that sound almost like love.

    Summary

    "I think you know what I mean,” Eddie had said, a soft look on his face as his fingers drummed on his lap, adorned with rings that caught Mike’s eyes every time. “You’re like me, Wheeler.” 

    “Like you how?” Mike asked, even though he knew the answer. 

    “You’re a boy kisser,” Eddie said, rolling his eyes, a fond expression on his face.

    “I am not,” Mike had protested, but the words sat somewhere deep in his gut and a scene flashed in his head, a fantasy he had avoided, looked away from, for too long now, with a specific face attached, and–

    “Okay,” Eddie had said, smiling briefly before looking ahead. “I just thought… I thought maybe you wanted to talk about it with someone who got it.”

    “I’ve never kissed a boy,” Mike said, petulant. 

    “I know.” He was calm, thoughtful, as he looked back at Mike. “I just think you’d like to.”

    Summary

    “You’re not coming this summer. I haven’t seen you in a year and a half and I know it’s-it’s pathetic—“

    “It’s not pathetic,” Will interjects quickly, shaking his head, “It’s not—“

    “It is, Will,” he hears Mike’s voice break over another hitched breath, “I know you’re… I just want you to be happy. I never want you to come back to Hawkins, but I’m fucking selfish. I’m so selfish, and I’m sorry.”

    Will lets the tears spill over and he lets that want that’s always itching under his skin show itself.

    “My whole life I’ve missed you every second you’ve been away from me,” Will confesses quietly into the receiver.

    If you’re pathetic, I’m wretched.

     

    -

     

    Not long after the final battle, Mike and Will were inseparable– until Will moved out to New York.

    Despite the weekly calls and the freedom of living their lives without terror, there’s no world in which they could last so long apart without it feeling like torture.

    Will gets a call, and three days later, Mike is at his doorstep.

    It only takes a day for them to fall back together again.
