Summary
“We haven’t done this since middle school,” Will says, voice barely above a whisper.
“Huh,” Mike whispers back. “Yeah, guess not.”
A couple years ago, Mike read a National Geographic article about a phenomenon called the polar night. In the farthest north and south regions of the globe, there are weeks, sometimes months depending on how close you are to the poles, where the sun does not rise above the horizon, plunging the world into a perpetual nighttime. Living in such conditions, the article had explained, can affect one’s circadian rhythm, heighten issues with concentration and energy levels, and cause a spike in depressive symptoms among local populations. Some resort to using light therapy lamps to mimic the daylight.
It was only after the Byers moved away, all those years ago, that Mike began to understand what the prolonged absence of the sun can do to a person.
The Upside Down is gone, and everyone has made it out unscathed. In the aftermath of the not-so-end of the world, snowballs turn into avalanches. Sometimes it just takes time.

Summary
“We need to get less mainstream. We need more rumors. We need controversy.”
“Okay,” Will says. “So what, you wanna share a microphone again?”
“No,” Mike says, shaking his head, expression deadly serious. “No, we need to escalate.”
Will swallows hard. “What do you mean?”
Mike shrugs, suddenly lowering his gaze, shifting his weight a little. “I think we should kiss.”
Mike and Will are in a band together and decide to make out on stage. To be controversial, of course. No other reason.

Or:
Mike and Will start talking dirty to each other for fun. What they don't consider is that it would accidentally turn them on.
