“My point,” Will says, mouth twitching at the corner for a second before he looks Mike in the eye, “is that you’re allowed to feel whatever you’re feeling. Or not feeling. Mike, you’re my best friend, okay? There’s nothing you could ever say to me that’s going to change that.” Then again, maybe the timing is never going to be right, Mike realizes. But Will is looking at him steadily, maybe slightly nervously, and fiddling with Mike’s fingers with his own. Straightening them out one by one, curling Mike’s hand back into a fist, tapping his knuckles, twining their fingers together and releasing them. Nervous energy, Mike knows now. It’s humming between them both, making his skin spark everywhere they touch. Will is giving him an opening. So Mike gathers all his courage and says quietly, “You heard what I said to you.” And Will nods. -- When Will gets trapped in the void after they finally defeat Vecna, Mike can't help spilling everything he's kept from Will in the hopes that it helps Will wake up. Then Will does, and Mike has to deal with the consequences of his honesty as their friends and family figure out how to move forward.
