Summary
Mike sniffled. Something warm dripped out of his nose, and he frowned. He didn’t have allergies in the fall, and his nose didn't feel very stuffy anyways, rather it felt dry. He wiped it with the back of his sleeve, planning on turning around to wipe his nose properly. Instead, when he lowered his hand, he froze.
Ms. Byers turned to him, confused as to why he stopped, but she took in a sharp breath as well when she saw the deep red stain on his sleeve, and the droplets of blood leaking out of his nose.
“Oh shit.”
After returning from the MAC-Z, Mike's resolve slowly crumbles after processing the last week of his life. After a breakdown and a terrifying vision, it's revealed that Vecna has possessed him, and he only has one day left.

Summary
Through the intense ringing in his ears, Mike registers footsteps pounding down the hallway. The door slams open and the light is flicked on. Someone crashes to their knees beside Mike, pulling him away from the ground and into their arms. Mike thrashes weakly, chest still hitching with sobs, but it’s more painful this time.
He just has to purge himself of his sins.
Yes yes yes. Purge himself. He has to- he has to purge himself.
-- OR --
Vecna's Curse doesn't leave Mike once he gets to California. He's suffering, but hey – at least he gets kissed.

Summary
It happens when he gets a phone call. It’s around 10:30 at night. El is asleep on the couch, and Jim is nearly there himself when the phone starts to ring. He picks it up, clearing the sleep from his throat. "Hello?"
“Oh thank god,” He hears Nancy sigh. The relief is nearly palpable through the phone. “It’s Mike."
Goddammit.

Summary
Jonathan would never hear the end of it if Will found out what he’s doing, so he needs to be subtle. Just enough to get Mike to treat him better. Just enough to redirect things.
He settles on a stern, “Mike, I think we need to have a talk.”

Summary
Mike Wheeler is a coward, he always has been. No matter what anyone says, no matter what anyone does, Mike Wheeler has and always will be a coward. He hides behind Eleven, a girl he doesn't even love, because he's to scared to admit his feeling for his best friend. He writes letters to said best friend but never sends them because he's to scared to see their reaction. He avoided Will because he was scared that he would figure it out somehow. He got possessed by Vecna because he was scared of his feeling.
Every brave act he does is a product of adrenaline, he's a coward. It's worse when El breaks up with him, because now he can't hide. It's worse when Dustin spills that he jumped off of the quarry, because now the Party won't leave him alone. And it's worse when Will confronts him at said Quarry because he was stupid and scared enough to run. Now what does he say? Does he tell the truth? Or does he lie?
