I can feel the pressure (you're better off without me) by cripplingmarvel

Summary
Mike Wheeler realized a long time ago that no one needed him. He'd tried for so long to prove himself wrong, to act like El or Holly or anyone in the Party needed him enough to care if he was gone one day.
But El then died. She died and the last thing she ever told him was that she loved him and he couldn't even say it back. He couldn't save her, he couldn't be there for her, he couldn't do anything. And that's when he stopped trying to prove himself wrong. He accepted it. That every time something went wrong, he somehow found himself in the center of it. That the Party was better without him around.

Summary
“Do you think,” Will whispers, his voice so low that it is barely audible in the little space carved between them, “it's going to last?”
Mike frowns. “What?”
“The pain of loving you.”
The words land between them like shattered glass. Mike stops breathing, his eyes taking on a haunted look. For a moment he looks like he might speak —his mouth even opens slightly— but the words never come.
Drunk out of his mind at Stacey’s party, Will is forced to confront the truth he’s been running from: Mike is not his Tammy. Only this time, Mike is there to deal with the aftermath.

Summary
"This okay?" Mike presses his fingers down, ever so slightly. Will inhales sharply and nods, but strangely, Mike isn't satisfied. Because of this, he says something so, so stupid—
"Can you use your words for me?"
Another sharp noise escapes Will. Mike stiffens, tugging his hands away as he mentally calculates the flight cost for a one-way trip from New York to the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, until Will leans back into his hands with a soft sigh.
"Yeah," he says, softly. "Yeah, it's— it's good."
When Mike touches the back of Will’s neck, Will loses himself. Mike, obviously, decides to abuse this.
