    Summary

    Mike opens his eyes against the water droplets hanging off his eyelashes. Will hasn't stopped walking away from him, and he’s far enough now that Mike can no longer really see the details of his jacket. The rain feels like needles against his skin, and a frustration builds in his gut. Mike can't stand this anymore.

    He breaks off into a run.

    or Mike and Will finally confront each other about everything. It's raining, and things get messy.

    Summary

    But he’s getting better. He’s getting better at it. Mike steps forward, and Will retreats. He’s getting better
    “You’re avoiding me.”
    So, for Mike to barge into his room and demand an explanation for why Will has been pulling away – well, maybe he’s a little confused. 

    Will finally rips off the band-aid. Mike won't let him.

    Summary

    They care too much. There would be questions to make sure he’s not having now-memories of the Upside-Down, to make sure he’s not predicting the future or something. And he knows he’s not—he can feel that much—but he doesn’t particularly want to talk to his mom about killing her, especially when he pretty much did try and do just that a year and a half ago. Because some things just can’t be reassured away, and the truth is that there is an unknown part of the Upside-Down within him, entangled with his very being, and he is a liability to everyone he loves.

     

     

     

     

    Or, Will's dreams torment him. He lets them. Mike wishes he wouldn't.

    Summary

    “I’m still here, Max,” she whispers. There’s no one else here, so she could speak up if she wanted to, but the moment feels too private for that. Too vulnerable. “I haven’t left. None of us have.” Physically speaking this is a lie. People have come and gone and continued on without Max. But El does not hold this against them. She knows that, even if they are physically in their homes, they are still thinking about Max, hoping and waiting just like El. She is just doing it differently.

    “I’m not going anywhere.” Her voice wavers a little bit, perhaps from a lack of use over the last few hours. “I’m staying right here, for as long as you need.”
