[𝐌𝐄𝐌𝐄 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊]:  the haunting of hill house [𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐒]: accepting [𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐌]: @aetcrnus​ // steve [𝐅𝐎𝐑]: Will [𝐌𝐄𝐌𝐄]:  "i didn’t get a chance last night to tell you how proud i am of you."

Did Jonathan put him up to this? Will glances around for a moment, as if he expects to see his brother, but he finds himself smiling anyway, feeling slightly embarrassed like he does when his mom compliments him in front of others ❝ I did’t do anything much. If it wasn’t for El, we wouldn’t have been here. ❞ How can he not admire her? People should be proud of her, not him ❝ I just can...sense when he’s coming. ❞ he says quietly before chuckling lightly  ❝ Like a weird version of Spiderman. ❞ Of course it has to be weird, it’s him.  ❝ Dustin told me that you were kidnapped by the Russians. And you made a friend your age. Shouldn’t we all be proud of you? ❞

[𝐌𝐄𝐌𝐄 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊]:  NON-SEXUAL FORMS OF INTIMACY [𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐒]: accepting [𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐌]: Mike // @aetcrnus​ [𝐅𝐎𝐑]: Will [𝐌𝐄𝐌𝐄]:  [ ACCEPT ] for one muse to reassure the other that something they worry about is fine, and they love and accept them completely.+ [ HAND ] for our muses to hold hands

It takes him a moment to connect the words he heard to the person that uttered them. He is still not sure if he has heard correctly, or if he has misinterpreted them. The silence in the house, the sunlight and light breeze coming in from the window... perfect conditions, his favourites. So maybe this is a dream. Because how can someone that spent so much time with a girl, ignoring everyone else for months…how can he not like girls? How can Mike not be in love with El? Does El know? Has he told anyone else? Is he sure? Will wants to ask him, there are so many things he wants to ask him, but now it’s not the time.

❝ You know you don’t have to do this, right? ❞ Will mutters without looking up from his drawing. It’s not that he doesn’t like spending time with his brother, it’s even fun most of the time, but ever since he came back from the Upside Down, it feels like not only almost everyone is treating him like he’s about to break, but they treat him as if he is about to disappear again. Why can’t things go back to normal?  ❝ I am fine and I am going to stay fine. ❞

[𝐌𝐄𝐌𝐄 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊]: 𝐒𝐄𝐓𝐓𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐃𝐔𝐒𝐓 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐏𝐓𝐒. [𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐒]: accepting [𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐌]: @inmydrcams​ // steve [𝐅𝐎𝐑]: will [𝐌𝐄𝐌𝐄]:  “ i know we almost died just now, but… am i the only one who’s hungry? “

Will barely manages not to roll his eyes, wondering if there is anyone in the group to whom he can actually relate ❝ Probably. ❞ he mutters, but as he glances at Mike and El — who look like they are playing in a dramatic romantic movie from which they barely know the words  — he no longer feels surprised or annoyed and gets up.  ❝ Perhaps we should look for food and other supplies that might be useful. ❞ he tells Steve as quiet as he can without having anyone else pay attention.

[𝐌𝐄𝐌𝐄 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊]:  NON-SEXUAL FORMS OF INTIMACY! [𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐒]: accepting [𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐌]: @multimuse-rp​ // Max [𝐅𝐎𝐑]: Will [𝐌𝐄𝐌𝐄]: [ EAT ] for our muses to go out to eat together 

It is the first time he and Max have stayed alone, he realises as she was either part of the whole group or Lucas hanged out with her. Will doesn’t mind, she seems nice and funny, not easily accepting anything she saw or what Lucas did.  ❝ I can’t believe I haven’t realised I miss food until now. ❞ he comments as he shoves another fry into his mouth and he moves the plate towards Max so she can eat too. His mother made sure he ate as healthily as he could, and perhaps he needed it after what had happened.  ❝ Is Lucas not coming at all? ❞

[𝐌𝐄𝐌𝐄 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊]:  the haunting of hill house - sentence meme [𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐒]: accepting [𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐌]: @aetcrnus​ // robin [𝐅𝐎𝐑]: will [𝐌𝐄𝐌𝐄]:   "i hope, really, that you get to experience that sometime."

Dustin and Suzie seem to have been lost in conversation, talking about a science project that might even help them. This at least, isn’t gross. This, Will gets. His friend and Suzie could have easily be just friends, bonding over their mutual interests. This is nothing like El and Mike seem to have. 

[𝐌𝐄𝐌𝐄 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊]:  the haunting of hill house - sentence meme [𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐒]: accepting [𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐌]: @aetcrnus​ // mike [𝐅𝐎𝐑]: will [𝐌𝐄𝐌𝐄]:  "i mean, i really fucked up."

His scoff is light enough to be inaudible and he quickly busies himself with organising his comic books. You think? They had not spent any time alone since that night, Will had even refused to look at Mike properly. It is strange, because ever since Will can remember, they were close. But...Mike had fucked up. Hearing him saying so should be enough and yet... it isn’t. 

Will hadn’t looked at him ever since that night and he doesn’t look at him now either ❝ What do does that mean? ❞ he asks because he isn’t even sure that Mike realises what he is done. Or at least, if he realises the full extent of it. Even then, when Will had been hurt, when he had destroyed his castle in frustration, he knew that Mike didn’t really mean to use that against him. Yet his attention remained on El. That wasn’t a fuck-up. That is how things are going to be like from now on and Will should stop being a stupid kid and accept this.
