Summary
“Will, you were beautiful.” Mike said, his gaze never wavering. He could feel the way heat creeped along the back of his neck and his cheeks, but he ignored it.
“Beautiful? Really.” Will rolled his eyes, looking away. He sounded skeptical-- uncertain. Like he didn’t know what to say now. Like he felt as if he were teetering along a straight line and was so, so close to falling off.
Mike looked at Will’s hands, they were still messing with the strand of thread. Now, it seemed they had picked up the pace, stressfully rolling the thread between his thumb and index finger.
Mike furrowed his brow, biting the inside of his cheek. He reached for Will’s hand, grasping it gently. Like he could ground Will. Will, who was so close, but always felt so far away. Will, who had been through so much, yet continued to be brave. Will, who deserved so much but received so little. Will, who had risked life and limb to save them all.
Or, it's after the battle in season 5 and Will and Mike have a post-battle talk.

Summary
“Will-- oh my god, Will.” Joyce’s words began to actually bleed through his eardrums, a comfort in an eerily uncertain situation. A situation he wouldn’t have been in had he not gotten lost while escaping the demobats with the others. A situation he could have avoided if everyone had stayed a team, if he had been able to keep everyone together.
But it happened, and now Will was bleeding out on the ground, the only warmth he felt being the soft grasp of Joyce's hands on his shoulders and the hot touch of his blood on his skin. There wasn’t anything Will felt like he could particularly do about this outcome.
It fits, after all. He started everything, so everything will end with him. Will just wanted to hope the day wouldn’t come so soon.
In which, the Lenora and Russia group stay in Hawkins, and Will gets mauled by a colony of demobats.
