  Summary

  “You artists really have a way of being enchanted by your own work” he snickers almost to himself as he drags his fingers through his short middle part. “Do you think I should get a perm?” Carlton says turning to Will who finally finished tying his shoe laces.

  The question makes Will stop in his tracks, this isn't something they’ve discussed before and his traitorous mind can’t help but to wander away. Wander to Mike's soft curls, how he’d let them grow out over the years and how much he always wanted to let his hands get lost in them. What is he doing right now? He thinks absently. These last years had been hard on everyone but especially on Mike.
  “Hello, earth to William Byers" Carlton waves his hand back and forth in front of Will's face. “Anybody home?”

  OR
  Mike and Will meet again at Robin and Vickie's unoffical wedding and let's just say neither of them have moved on.
