Summary
Mike reaches for his glass, taking it with both hands. Murray’s smile becomes broader, his teeth glistening as he bobs his head slowly in an affirming manner.
“There you go, Wheeler! Woo!” Murray exclaims excitedly. He won.
Will, wide eyed, looks directly at Mike, who’s eyeing his drink.
“I mean- he’s not wrong, Will.” He’s returning the gaze, holding it. His voice is soft, it’s careful and suggestive. He wants Will to do this with him, Will apprehends.He gulps, his gaze still locked with Mike's, and without breaking it, he takes the glass that hangs offering, towards him.
He lets out a huff of air.
“Lets have some fun boys! Cheers!”
Murray is gleaming.

Summary
“Any of it.” Will shrugs, embarrassed. “I don’t know how to ask someone out, or how to act on a date, or how to- kiss, or anything like that.”
“Oh.” Mike’s expression clears, and he grins. “Well, like I said, you’re a catch, so I don’t think you’d need to worry about putting people off or something. And all of that stuff is way easier than it sounds, seriously.”
Will makes a face. “That can’t be true.”
“I’m serious!” Mike says, laughing a little. “Here, we can practice.” He shifts on the bed, arranging his legs beneath him and sitting up a little straighter, running a casual hand through his hair. “Pretend I’m a guy you like.”
Practice makes perfect, especially when the person you're practicing with is your best friend.

Summary
November 10th, 1988, Will Byers is taken into the Upside Down. The Party & Co. come together to try and save him, all the while Will is fighting to save himself. New monsters emerge and love flourishes. Will hides and Mike finds.
Together, even across dimensions, right?
. -.. . -.
Will should’ve realized this sooner. The fifth anniversary of the start of all of this, the day he was taken, was just four days ago. It passed by harmlessly.
That should’ve been a warning sign.
Now Will is paying the price for his naive, yet blissful, ignorance as he dangles between the balance of his two worlds.
One of home, one of nightmares.
El's grip on his bloody hand is tight as she tries to pull him from perdition.
Looking up, he can see El’s face flushing with strain, her limbs shaking. She’s tired. They’re both exhausted. After everything she's done in the past few days, he knows she's spent. Her powers can’t–
She can’t save them.
Will can't be saved this time.
But he can save her.
He inhales, taking in his last breath protected by a night of blanketed stars and faraway brown eyes, and exhales.
Will let go.
And he falls away from Eden.
