I‘m sorry but why we have a shot where behind Mike there is literally a caption on Dustin’s sweatshirt „explorer“

Something about Mike would‘ve explore or did he already start exploring since season one?

I have a better view of his sweater

And there’s a person who’s flying.

Fly you say?

but then will's nightmares come back in the winter. what starts as mild night terrors turn into full blown flashbacks plaguing his dreams. he wakes up with his throat raw and a cold sweat all over his body and his muscles sore from how hard he'd locked them up. and always, always, mike hovering over him, hand pressed to the side of his face, so very worried.

mike will get him a glass of water. and sit with him until will feels like talking about it. they repeat this over and over again and will keeps waiting for mike to get tired. for mike to complain about most nights being interrupted by will's problems. but mike never does. and when will tries to bring it up, mike just shakes his head and refuses to hear of it.

will has a really bad nightmare one night, then. like really bad. and it's after a quarrel he has with mike over something stupid he can't even remember. in his dream, he's trapped in the upside down and mike is leaving him. he can't see mike, because mike is behind him, but mike is leaving and will is going to be here forever. and then will wakes up, but mike isn't hovering over him this time. mike is in bed with him, holding him and crying quietly. because will had been screaming his name desperately over and over again.

they start doing that now. sharing a bed. it begins with mike coming into his bed after the nightmares, but slowly transitions into mike just being in will's bed. and that's when will realizes that he's falling in love again. every night, wrapped up in mike's arms, with his ear to mike's chest, listening to his heartbeat...he's falling in love again, and this time he thinks it's here to stay.

"but that doesn't make any sense."

"right. because he doesn't exist."

"i'm right here."
