3th POV || June 19th, 1988

The next morning Mike woke up to see Will gone and the clothes he had worn last night were folded and placed onto of Mike's bed by his feet

Mike got up and quickly made his way downstairs letting his sweatpants hang ever so slightly long around his ankles almost making him trip ever other step

And there he was
Will Byers was making breakfast as music played quickly on the radio Sweet Child O' Mine by Guns N' Roses filled the space as Will hummed quietly along to it
Mike smiled softly

"Didn't think I would wake up to a concert." Mike said making Will look over and then reach over turning it down

"Did I wake you up?"

"No, almost gave me a panic attack though, I thought Vecna got you.." Mike said pushing his hair back

"Oops," Will said with a shrugged turning back towards the food "the only thing that got me were eggs." Mike chuckled slightly leaning back against the counter watching Will slightly
The golden morning light shining on him from the window lighting him up like an angel

"What's your plan after all this?"

"Go to The War Zone, remember?"

"No, I um, I mean after we kill this son of a bitch.. what's your plan? Cause I know it sounds weird but.. this Upside-down shit has been around for so long.. I don't know.. I feel like I'm gonna miss having this constant, thing, you know? It's like when you're sad but, you get better.. but you almost miss that sadness.. cause it's what you were used to.. that doesn't make any sense, forget it.."

"No, I know what you mean.. I think ill just be happy I'm not in constant fear for family, friends, you or myself.. I'll just be relieved you know? But I understand what you're saying.. your feelings are valid.." Will said looking over at him then back "I might miss it too.. I don't know.. my only plan is to kill him and leave Hawkin, go back to California, try to move on with my life like this shit never happened.." Mike nodded slightly looking down at the floor

"Do you want coffee?" Mike asked moving to grab the coffee maker

"Yeah, thanks Mike." Will said Mike nodded grabbing two cups and started the maker

"I think.. next year I'm gonna move far away from this place, after high school I mean.."

"Where to?"

"Maybe California.. I heard that Lorena has a good writing program.."

"Yeah?" Will asked with a soft smile Mike nodded slightly

"Yeah I mean.. if Lorena is big enough for the two of us.." Mike said Will laughed softly

"Yeah.. maybe we can even be roommates, or something.." Will whispered Mike smiled

Soon after they ate
Mike put the syrup up then went upstairs to get changed

Will was waiting in the living room for everyone to get there

He was wearing a dark green shirt with a black zip hoodie only zipped halfway
Dark jeans with holes in the knees

Mike came down wearing a Iron Maiden shirt with lighter jeans and his hair let down in it's natural messy state

Once everyone got there they split up
Will was driving one and Lucas driving the other
Will, Mike and Dustin in one car
Lucas, Max and El in the other

Will was leading the way since he knew where he was going
Of course he did it was ingrained in his head

Some random tape Jonathan had made him for a birthday years ago was playing through the speakers
