Summary
And what once was ours, is no one's now. I see you everywhere, the only thing we share is this small town. You said it was a great love, one for the ages. But if the story's over, why am I still writing pages?
_Mike shoved at his chest, gasping. "Don't - don't do that."
Will pulled back slightly but his hands still lingered on Mike's arms. Confusion flickered on his face.
"Don't do what? Comfort you? Mike, you don't have to do this on your own. I'm here. Please, let me help you."
Mike shook his head as sobs wracked him. "You don't get it."
"I do," Will insisted gently. "The book... it's bringing it all back. But we're past that now. We've won."
"No," Mike choked out, "it's more than that. It's you. It's always been you."
The words spilled, incoherent at first, sobs shaking his frame."I can't lose you again. I won't survive it."

Summary
There was something on both their minds, as it turned out. So when Will brought up the topic of the party and their family, Mike agreed completely with his fear.
They’re going to keep their relationship a secret so they can work things out themselves, and because they can’t afford for their relationship to get out. Not now, not while they’re only thirteen and living with their parents. No one will know, not until they’re older and can handle the problems that come with having a relationship like theirs.
No one is going to find out.
or;
Mike and Will start a relationship, its not like their friends are attentive enough to every pick up on it.
Or are they?

“Go back? Where?”
“To Hawkins."
"Do you want to come with me?”

Summary
““Will-” Mike whispered, years of sadness and loss and a million other things Will couldn’t understand splaying across his face. Will gently pulled away his hand, something tearing deep inside him as he did. It was the hardest thing to do, to leave that warmth behind.
“I’m a little tired now,” he said, voice thick with unshed tears, not daring to look at Mike, knowing that if he did, nothing would stop him from doing something they would both regret. He walked back across the room and sat on the edge of the bed. For a moment Mike just stood where they’d been, still and unmoving. Will had to use every shred of energy he had left not to get up and go to him. Mike’s shoulders dipped in resignation as he slowly turned around. The darkness masked his expression, but the silence was enough.
For them, Will supposed, silence had always been enough. It would always have to be.”Or: After Nevada, things are not the same. Mike is confusing, though this is not exactly new. Still, there is an earnestness; an honesty that wasn’t there before. Electric glances, small confessions: nothing feels as simple as it used to. Timing, it seems, has never been on Will's side. Or... has it?
