Summary
Mike fucked up.
He knows he’s fucked up the second it happens. He knew he was fucking up even in the moments leading up to it, but honestly he couldn’t bring himself to care— not when the only thing he felt was self-hatred and ice-cold pain, freezing his heart until it numbed to nothingness. He feels nothing still, minutes past the point of no return.
—
Mike left out one important detail when talking to Will about his depressive episodes— an ugly, horrible detail that should have stayed buried in the past. Mike just had to go dig it up.

Summary
As soon as they close the door to his room, Will wraps him in a hug. “Can you talk to me now?” he asks softly. “What’s the matter, love?”
“Nothing.” Okay, so they’re doing this the hard way.
Will lifts his chin to look up at him, displeased. He really does not want to get into another fight right now. “Mike, come on—“
“No, seriously,” he stresses, open and honest and pleading, like Will just isn’t getting something. “Nothing is wrong.”
—
Will notices that Mike is acting strange, which leads to a long overdue conversation about Mike’s depression.

Summary
The very foundation of the universe has cracked. No, not the Upside Down; something even more catastrophic. Something so unbreakable that its destruction can lead to the end of life as they know it.
“I just can’t believe they’re fighting,” Lucas muses with a sigh.
“This is a bad one,” El emphasizes. “They fought in California too, but it wasn’t like this.”
“In the ten years I’ve known them, I’ve never once seen them sit more than six inches away from each other. This is worse than the summer of ‘85.”

When Mike and Will get in an argument, the Party comes up with a plan to get them back together again (as purely-platonic friends, of course).

Summary
what a funny bunch they were, will laughed to himself bitterly, never meant to be happy, always meant to break down like this. only saints didn’t live for long so why was will’s breath getting shorter.
only good people died young, so why was will byers of all people feeling his heart tear apart.
or
will byers has always been a house of cards and mike wheeler has always been a raging storm in the dark (but when they collide, the destruction burns in all the right ways).
