Summary
"You're really something else, huh," Klaus says. Ben only hears his voice waver because he's listening for it. He feels like he's holding Klaus in the palm of his hand.
"I don't ever do this," Ben says, but it's the drink talking. He'd never admit it sober. "It doesn't freak you out?"
He doesn't mean to phrase it as a question, but it's too late to take it back. (It's the end of the universe talking, whispering, you have nothing else left to lose.)
Klaus' smile is small, and it disappears too quickly for Ben to have time to think about where it comes from.
Klaus says, "I was never scared of you."

Summary
“Rocky, I’m here, okay? Come back to me, pal, please.”
Of course I will, I think, drawn to that voice, that strange, wobbling voice, which I care about without knowing exactly why, and I should – it makes me angry, not knowing – I should know –

Summary
“My– my name is Phil Lester,” he says and he shouldn’t. He shouldn’t pause to wait for a response, to wait for recognition, but he does.
There is none.
“I need some– I need some legal advice?”
“Yes, that is sort of what I figured when you called my law firm."
Phil wakes up in an alternate reality where Dan and he have never met and does the only thing he can think of doing: Finding Dan.
(And then not stopping to bother him.)

Summary
Mike doesn't know when he started caring why Steve and Eddie are friends now, but Dustin has made him curious. Eddie and Steve were enemies before, sort of. So why are they now best friends? They've just got to do a bit of surveillance to work this puzzle out. If Mike accidentally finds out he has feelings for his best friend along the way then... well, shit.
“At least I’m not using binoculars.” Mike shoots a derisive look over at Dustin. “Like we’re not in the middle of the high street, if they spot us how are you going to explain away those, huh?”
“Bird watching,” says Dustin. “My new hobby.”
Lucas punches him on the arm. “God you’re so fucking stupid.”
“You gave them to me!”

Summary
“Did I do something wrong?” Mike questions, mouth twisted in a frown, eyes less wide than they were a few moments ago, sleepiness gone. His arms stay at his sides, although his fingers fiddle with his sleeves. “What did I do wrong?”
Will frowns back. “You didn’t do anything wrong.”
Mike doesn’t look like he believes him. Will doesn’t blame him. “Then why do you keep leaving?”
The world ends, and then some. Mike and Will find each other again, amidst the debris and distance.

Summary
Steve isn't having the best time of it but he's trying to make time for his kids. Then everything goes to shit again. At least he gets a fugitive boyfriend out of it.
When it all starts happening again Steve mentally blames Tammy Thompson’s singing, probably woke Vecna up and he was all like “these people need to remember their favourite songs, because if that’s the musical talent in this town… boy are they fucked” or something along those lines. Or maybe he’s just feeling a little bit insane because he just saw Max — little Max with the red hair who scared him a little bit and saved him from Billy that one time — floating up in the sky like, like an angel. And he couldn’t do a thing but hope Max really, really likes Kate Bush.
