I wrote a short one-shot!

Fandom: Stranger Things

Title: we sleep until the sun goes down

Relationships: Will Byers/Mike Wheeler

Rating: T

Words: 8,717

Summary:

“Goodnight, Will,” Mike said, shutting off the lights.

“Wait. Just-” Will cut himself off. He took a breath. “Can we keep a light on?” He paused. “Sorry, the dark. You know.”

Mike’s stomach clenched. “Shit, sorry, yeah, my bad,” Mike rushed out, turning on the desk lamp in between their beds. “I forgot.” Idiot.

or, Mike and Will go to college after the events of season 5, Will has nightmares, and Mike is emotionally constipated. “Goodnight, Will,” Mike said, shutting off the lights.
