Summary
Dustin reached over to flick him in the middle of the forehead. “It'll be me and you, this summer, asshole. And because I am a top tier friend, you're welcome, by the way, I have secured us jobs working at the radio station this summer!”
Will opened an eye to peer at him. Dustin’s curls were sticking to his forehead under his hat and he looked ridiculous in his Hawkins High gold t-shirt and gym shorts. “You got us jobs?”
“I told you, Buddy!” Dustin leaned back beside him. “You and me this summer. This is going to be our summer.”
Or
Summer in Hawkins was supposed to be easy.
Instead, Will Byers gets a new house, a family that argues about Eggos and shower schedules, a brother who comes out before he does, and a best friend who keeps acting like Will is “just a friend.”
With the Party drifting, feelings piling up, and Dustin announcing Operation: Best Summer Ever, Will tries to make it through a summer that looks suspiciously like 1985—but hopefully ends better.

Summary
“So. Logical conclusion?” Dustin grinned down at him, pleased. “You’re in love with Mike and heartbroken that he and El made up. You’re welcome.”
Will sighed. “Dustin, I already knew I was in love with Mike.”
Will Byers is not avoiding his friends—he’s just busy.
Busy avoiding Mike Wheeler, busy lying about homework, and busy trying (and failing) to get over the boy he’s been in love with for years.
Unfortunately, Dustin Henderson has noticed. And he has a plan.

Summary
When the Byers family moves into the Wheeler house, Mike tells himself nothing has really changed. But late nights, quiet conversations, and Will’s growing anxiety about kissing lead Mike to offer to help him practice—an arrangement that quickly becomes more complicated than either of them planned.

Summary
"Working at the cafe has its ups and downs. For example, free smoothies, good. Annoying customers, bad. Will Byers, good. Will Byers, bad. In the few months since getting this job, Mike has maybe, just slightly, developed a huge crush on his coworker. In his defense, Will just makes it so easy. Shiny brown hair, shinier eyes, and the shiniest smile. Mike is so down bad that he can’t even think of another adjective. Will turns his head, and his silver hoop earring glints in the sun. Shiny. Mike thinks about quitting on the spot. He’d throw his apron on the ground and everything, really make a show of it. Maybe that’ll get Will’s attention. God, he’s a loser."
or
Mike Wheeler versus his own thoughts, and Will Byers versus running away with no warning.

Summary
Sure enough, Mike is no longer sprawled across his bed like he was a few minutes ago and has migrated to the end of his chambers. Will watches with mild amusement as the stupid excuse for a prince attempts to balance on the narrow ledge beneath the window, arms out like he’s daring gravity to notice him and send him toppling to the ground outside.
“Do you remember,” Will asks mildly, “when you fell out of the apple tree that you insisted on climbing and broke your wrist?”
Mike doesn’t turn around. “I didn’t fall. I jumped.”
“You screamed on the way down.”
“I didn’t scream,” Mike mutters, petulance creeping into his voice. “Princes don’t scream.”
“This prince screams,” Will says. “In my ears, a lot.”
or, where Mike is a prince and Will is his long-term servant and best friend. Oh, and he's also a sorcerer on the side, and in love with said prince. This will end well, right?
