@corpsecliche / sleep doesn’t come easy anymore. THAT’S NO SURPRISE ! things have settled yet again ––– will is back home , the gate is c l o s e d. the upside down can’t hurt them now. then again , that’s what they thought last time. closed lids flutter open momentarily , staring at the DARK WALL beside him as he debates on whether or not he should turn around to check if will is there. would it really be will ? or the monster ? CAN’T LOSE THE BYERS BOY AGAIN. body soon shifts , a quiet gesture as to not wake the other. mike just watches will for a second , wondering WHAT THE HELL could have been going through his head at the time. he’s fine , michael ! he’s home again , back with F A M I L Y and friends. back with him. they’re all safe.
❛ i’m glad you’re okay , byers. ❜ words are barely audible as they fall from the wheeler boy’s lips , careful not to SPEAK TOO LOUD or wake him up. god only knew will probably needed about five years of rest to heal. who was mike to disturb him ? sleep is far gone from him now , though , and a PANG IN HIS CHEST tells him to keep watch. stay on guard ! nobody can hurt will now , not while mike is around. fingers twitch , begging to reach out and hold the other’s hand , but he r e f r a i n s. doesn’t want to wake him up. so , he just pulls his arms back again , hugging them close to his chest before mike is turning once more. eyelids flutter shut , and he’s TRYING TO SLEEP AGAIN , but it’s just not happening.
