Letters to Will (Live from New York) by sofishortcake (6/? | 46,407 | Mature)
“Thanks for taking care of me, Mike. I didn’t mean to drink this much.” Mike locks the dorm door behind him with a quiet click. He turns to see Will swaying against the wall. “You know, I could’ve had Carlton walk me back. If you wanted to stay at the party.” Mike laughs, low and sharp, taking a deliberate step closer. “Yeah, I bet he would've loved that. And, please... stop saying his fucking name, okay?” His voice rises, strained with a tension he can’t hide. Other names in Will’s mouth twist his stomach in ways he can’t explain. Will swallows, gaze dropping. “Sorry, I just meant…I’m so happy you’re here, but I know you’re not just here to see me, and you probably want—” Mike cuts him off without a second thought. He grabs Will’s arms, and shoves him lightly but firmly against the wall. Their chests collide, faces inches apart, the air between them charged and electric. Will freezes—but Mike doesn’t back down. “Will…you have no idea what I want,” he whispers, eyes dropping to Will’s lips. Every shred of control he’s ever clung to around him melting. And there truly must be something in the NYC air, because Mike from Hawkins would have never dared to do what he does next.
