    Summary

    “What did they say this time Will? What did they do?” He urges softly. The hand barely holding the other's chin traces up his jaw until he threads his fingers in Will's soft brown hair. He finally looks back up at Mike, a crease forming between his brows.

    “What does it matter if I tell you? I’m sure you can guess. It’s just humiliating to have to keep repeating.” The words sting, they feel cold. Too cold coming from Will.

    Mike sucks his teeth and keeps wiping at the boy's lips. Holding the towel in place before slowly dragging along his bottom lip. The skin around blooms red, partially stained, partially from the sensitive skin being disturbed.

    “Just seems odd is all, seems like it’s happening more often.” He’s quiet for a moment as he mulls over Mike's words.

    Summary

    “And why come back when so many are leaving Hawkins?”

    Will slowed without meaning to. The leaves under his shoes crackled. “I–”

    What should he tell this stranger that wouldn’t reveal the fact that his sister had superpowers and might actually be the only key to save this entire town from a monstrous maniac?

    “Well, everyone I know is here,” he murmured. “I couldn’t… just leave them.”

    The man hummed softly, then he lifted his head to scan over the woods, a faint whistle came from his lips, before his gaze landed onto Will again.

    “Maybe something here wanted you back.”

    Or, a fix-it fic modern-gothic take on Will Byers' story in Season 5 .
