Summary
“That’s my step brother Will,” El said from somewhere next to Mike, her voice pulling him out of the trance he had found himself in. “He got me the job here, among other things.”
“They look great together,” he replied softly, trying to keep the disappointment from seeping into his voice. Mike knew that not everyone was like him, but that didn’t mean it didn’t hurt when he saw someone he couldn’t have.
“Yeah,” El said, sounding just as breathless as Mike felt. “You’d think they were a couple, right?”
At that, Mike turned to her in near disbelief. “Aren’t they?”
El looked back at him with a knowing glint in her eyes. “They’ve always been just friends.”
***
Mike's in for another bummer summer at some stupid resort his family dragged him to when he becomes wrapped up in the responsibilities - and the arms - of a group of staff who are in desperate need of his help. Who knows...maybe he'll end up having the time of his life.

Summary
When the Byers move to California, Will is lonely, bullied, and struggling with his mental health. When Mike comes to visit, he notices that something is off, but doesn’t know what’s wrong or how to help while his best friend feels so far away even though he's physically there. However, maybe Mike finds the answer after they are brought closer than ever after El is abducted by the government and they end up facing capture, interdimensional monsters, torture, the past, their own feelings, and attempting to prevent the apocalypse. (Post-s3, rewriting s4, and predicting s5).

Summary
"I'm so hungry I could eat Will Byers." Jane bursts into a fit of giggles. Mike's heart drops.
"What?" His mouth feels dry. His hands are sweating. He can feel a flush creeping up his neck.
Jane repeats her words between cackles and wheezes, "I said... I'm so hungry... I could eat... Will Byers!"
All of the kids are laughing now, some big inside joke that Mike is the butt of. He feels sick. He feels something he can't place.
"How do you know that name?" He asks, the words catching in his throat like bile.
