    Summary

    Sir Michael tilted his head, squinting at Will. Without warning, his hand came to cup Will's cheek, turning his skin at least ten degrees warmer. "He looks like you," Sir Michael continued, "and he has your name. Your moles, too."

    His thumb came down to brush the mole over Will's top lip. The touch felt soft, strangely reverent. "My— moles?"

    Mike had the same sentiment, albeit with more displeasure. "His moles?"

    Will makes a wish. Sir Michael the Brave comes to fulfill it, but Mike Wheeler makes his wish come true.

    “Nance, I told him. I told them and they -,” he cuts himself off because he can feel the tears welling in his eyes and he’s managed to avoid those all night. No fucking way he’s starting now. 

    Or: Mike comes out.

    Summary

    "Last night, the painting... it came to life! He spoke to me and... it was his voice. It was his voice, Jonathan."

    It's 1999, and Will Byers is a successful artist in NYC, making ends meet despite the difficulties his lifestyle presents. Only problem? He's out of inspiration and running low on funds, having sold the last of his paintings at a charity auction he didn’t even want to be a part of. So his therapist suggests he paint the thing he can’t seem to let go of, and with that homework he decides to paint a portrait of the One That Got Away.

    It's fine, and somewhat cathartic... until the painting starts speaking with the voice of his deceased childhood love. His best friend, painted in the colors that hold all the words and thoughts he could never say.
