   Summary

   Mike Wheeler was one of the most idiotic people he's ever met. Of course he couldn't recognize his own feelings for his best friend until he had to feel the dead weight of his cold body in the Abyss. Of course he didn't realize El was going to sacrifice herself for the world again. Of course Mike lost the two most important people of his life and was completely helpless to do anything.

   Helpless. Mike was so helpless all the damn time.

   But, just maybe... he didn't have to. Not this time.
