Will was lost. Everyone that loved him either left him out of disgusts of his true self or he pushed them away.
When Will was young and naive he thought that the love of his life would stay. See when he got back from California to Hawkins it was very awkward for him and Mike because they recently have been drifting away for the past two years.
So, when Joyce told him and Mike the living plans for the next couple months it was even more usual. "So, you and mike are going to have to share a room at the Wheelers house" Joyce mummers with a smile and a head nod obviously not sensing the tense between the two. "Wait why can't I just stay here with you and jane?" Will asked with a scrunched face. Mike looks at him with grate offence. "Will you don't want to share a room with me? We did it all the time when we were younger, we can do it again." Mike said asking if they wanted to bunk together for a couple more months.
"Mom" Jane yells trying to get her attention while holding a heavy box struggling. "Coming" Joyce helps her lug the box up the stairs and into the house. "Will what has happening to us" Mike whispers under his breath. "Don't be surprised that this is happening. We both know that you don't want to share a room with me. I'll tell mom that I'll stay here, and Jane will bunk with you." Will says in a tired and sad voice.
Will walks away but Mike grabs his hand. "I know that we have been drifting apart but I don't want that anymore. I want my best friend back. I want to play dnd together like old times" Mike says in a pleading voice.
"Your always to late Wheeler" Will walks back into the house leaving Mike there choking in tears.
Will follows the path to Janes room through the cobwebbed filled cabin with broken windows and furniture. Will see the cracked open door and slide through the it. When he sees her on the bed, he sits down matching her sitting position. "So, Jane I was thinking that instead of me bunking in Mikes room you would. Would that be okay with you?" The brown-haired boy questions. Jane opens her mouth then closes it with clunk over her top hitting her bottom. She then tries again. "Me and Mike got in a fight in Lenora, and I don't want to see him let alone stay in his house." Jane says whispering remembering the yelling and letters noted from Mike.
"Oh well what do we do?" Will says, "I also kind of got in a fight with him." Jane looks up at him with a confused look. " You guys never fight and when you do you forgive him. What's going on?" Jane states with a scrunched-up face " Just Mike being Mike" Will says "Thats always the case isn't it" Jane says with a giggle and Will smiles loving his sister and the moments like this when they both feel like they're in the same boat.
"I feel like you are madder at him then me, so I guess I'll take one for the team." Will smiles at Jane "Thank you so much I'll make it up to you I promises." Jane says laughing. "Yeah, yeah I need to pack up my stuff Love you" Will gives her a kiss on the head then gets out of her room making sure to leave it open a crack.
After the conversation with Jane, he finds Mike sitting down on the kitchen table that has splinters and cracked parts on the edges. Will sits down on a stool across from Mike. "I will stay with you but just so you know I'm doing this for my sister not you." Will says looking Mike in his eye trying not to lick his lips and look down for even a second. " I will make things right between us Will" Mik says looking at Will and his body eyes wandering where they shouldn't. *Snap out of it Mike* Mike tries to think of anything else then Will and he's strong arms that could pin him dow- *Stop thinking about that*
"Um Mike are you okay? You have been staring is something wrong?" Will asked in a confused tone. Mike blinks a few times trying to scrub the thoughts of his dirty thoughts away thinking of what his dad thought of people like him.
"Oh no just lost in thought" Mike says stuttering "Okay" Will say with his eyebrows up pulling out the y in okay. "Well, I'm going to pack my stuff for your place" Will says voice still uncertain and walked out to the car to get the bag filled with clothing "Okay" mike says dumbly getting of the chair and dusting off his shirt and going outside to walk.
