    Summary

    A post-canon (with some small tweaks) road trip full of tension, nightmares, gay panic, and a very long drive toward the truth.

    *

    Will just wanted to bring his brother home. He didn’t plan on sharing motel beds, surviving Mike Wheeler’s jealousy spiral, or confronting feelings he’s spent years burying.

    Mike thinks Will likes girls.
    Will thinks Mike will never love him back.
    Both of them are wrong.

    Or

    Water dripped from Will's hair, ran down his jaw, caught on his lips.

    Mike stared at it.

    Stared like he'd forgotten where he was.

    Then, slowly he lifted a towel and pressed it gently to Will's mouth, wiping the water away. His hand didn't even shake. He was steady. 

    Will's breath stuttered. Tingles tremored all the way up his spine.

    He didn't move. He couldn't. He was too aware of Mike's hand, of the way his eyes kept dropping back to his lips.

    That look again.

    The one Will had seen a dozen times now and never understood.

    Summary

    Mike has spent months ignoring what he feels when he looks at Will. Months pretending that the way his heart races doesn't mean anything. That "best friends" is enough.

    Then Will uses his powers to save them all, and Mike can't stop watching. Can't stop wanting.

    When Mike walks downstairs and sees Will changing his shirt—sees the freckles scattered across his back like stars—everything he's been denying comes crashing down.

    Will knows. He's always known. And he's done waiting.
