I want to sleep (but you just woke me up) by prophetsoverpeople

Summary
I'm doing fine he'd tell his mother when she asked him how he was doing, if he was eating well, sleeping well, making friends. Plastered on a smile as if she could tell when he wasn't, as if she could see him at all.
Better than Hawkins he'd tell his brother when he asked how he was settling into the big city, if his classes were hard, if they were fun, if he'd found a place for himself yet.
He didn't need to lie to Mike—lies by omission didn't count, he told himself—because Mike was the one putting all his eggs in that basket when they called. Probably for the best he'd think, because if he did choose to tell the truth, talk from the heart (god, the heart) than it would only be a matter of time before Will reciprocated, spilling his guts out through the phone. Definitely for the best then.
OR Will is sick and tired of being tired. He's doing his best to wake up. Mike is trying too.

Summary
A sick, ugly, twisted part of Mike wonders if his nose has to start bleeding before someone notices he doesn't wanna be around anymore.
It’s stupid. It’s so incredibly stupid it hurts, and Mike knows it. He’s sixteen years old. He can handle the thoughts and the darkness and how bad it gets each and every winter, like clockwork. He doesn’t even need help, not like he thought he used to. He learned what real hurt was the fall Will went missing.
He just…feels like it never quite stopped hurting.
OR
Mike is depressed. He doesn't quite think he deserves to be, most of the time. Will disagrees.

Bookmarker's Notes
“He doesn’t know how to change, but he can’t stay this way.“ Insane insane insane! Nearly cried and cried and cried because it‘s eerie how exactly this pinpointed my own feelings nearly word for word. Ten billion kudos and I love you.
