Summary
Mike is waiting for Will in the basement, a look of suspicious, nervous excitement on his face. He cleared the table and laid out upon it are two card games.
"Now, I know you’ll resist," Mike blurts out, stepping toward him. "But I think this will be good. For both of us! For when we... you know,” Mike trails off, “When we get partners.”
Will scoffs, stepping closer to inspect the titles.
Spill or Sip and Truth, Dare, or Strip.
Or: Mike suggests a spicy card game to help Will loosen up before college. It works a little too well, and suddenly they’re gambling with unresolved feelings, and clothes, that were meant to stay in place.

Summary
“…Do you think she’s out there?” Mike asks eventually. “Somewhere?”
Will doesn’t hesitate. “Yes.”
He has to believe that. The look on Mike’s face all those years ago, desperate- he has to believe it. Everything in his life has been building up to that moment, and Will knows that she's waiting. Just like Will is.
“…I don’t,” Mike admits, and Will flinches. “I don’t think I ever did, I think maybe I just felt… guilty. She was stuck spending her last moments with me, and I couldn’t- I couldn’t tell her what she wanted. I still can’t, even when I visit her grave. Hopper just… gives me this look, and- maybe if I said things better,” Mike whispers, “she wouldn’t have felt the need to-”
“Stop,” Will snaps, cutting him off. It comes out sharper than he meant for it to. "That’s not how it works. She loved you, Mike. You were- you're everything to her. She loves you.”
“Like you did?”
It's mean, but Mike has always been mean, and it's Will's fault, really, for not being used to it by now.
or, Mike lets Will use his body like a canvas, painting on him. Mike tries to be honest, but Will's stuck in his head.

Summary
“Why does it even matter?”
“It matters because you lied.”
“About a stupid painting?”
“It’s not stupid to me!"
“Mike! What do you want from me!” The question is desperate and so loud, it fills the entire room, knocking the fight out of them both. Will’s eyes brim with tears.
It's the last night of his trip visiting Will at NYU and Mike finds something curious in a sketchbook. Before he can face what it might mean for him, he has to find out what it meant (or means) for Will.
