Summary
In the midst of the frantic, rhythmic motion, a small shift in the air, pulled Will from the blinding focus of sensation. His head lolled back against the pillows, his eyes, hazy and dilated, snapping open.
That’s when he saw her. Vanessa. Standing in the sliver of the doorway.
He didn't gasp. He didn't stop Mike, didn't even slow the relentless, punishing rhythm. There was no room for surprise, not now, not after all this time. He just stared at her with the quiet, triumphant knowledge that had settled deep within him years ago. It was a look of profound, quiet acknowledgement—a confirmation of the ending he had always known was their inevitable destination.
In that gaze, Will was telling her that her story with Mike was over, that he had merely held the place for him until the time was right.
The problem with Mike Wheeler was not that he didn't know how to exist in halves, but that he refused to let Will Byers exist without him. In 1991, Will Byers is an art student at NYU, living for the 10:00 PM calls and the thick, ink-stained manuscripts Mike sends from Bloomington. He has resigned himself to being the moon to Mike’s sun.

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?

Summary
"Just getting the good stuff, Nance," Mike said, his voice a fraction too high. He poured two fingers into a glass and handed it to Will. His hand was still shaking.
Nancy lingered at the door, her expression unreadable, a flicker of something—disappointment, maybe, or just the weary knowledge of a secret she wasn't ready to name—crossing her face. "Right. Don't be long. Jane is waiting. And Willow wants to show you the lightning bug she caught."
She turned and left.
Will let out a breath he seemed to have been holding for a lifetime.
"We’re going to get caught, Mike," Will said softly, looking at the door Nancy had just closed. "One of these days, it’s going to happen."
"I know," Mike said. "But not tonight."
Mike and Jane have been together since they were twelve. They have a house, a daughter named Willow, and a stable life built on eighteen years of history. But Mike's soul has always belonged to the other Byers twin. During a family reunion at the Wheeler estate, Mike and Will sneak away to the study to reclaim the only truth they have left—no matter who is watching.

Summary
“You want us to foster a kid?” Mike finally asks, disbelieving. Will is half convinced that El will laugh in their faces, clearing up the misunderstanding with a, “No, silly. I want you to water my plants.”
“It doesn’t have to be forever,” El says. “Just until I can find another home for him. I can’t stand him living in the shelter anymore. Not right now. He needs emotional support. And don’t lie to me— I know you two have been wanting kids. This can be a trial run.”
—
Will and Mike are tasked with fostering an emotionally distant, judgmental, sassy twelve-year-old boy from El’s shelter. As hard as they try to win his heart, they seem to be making no progress. After all, how could two strangers earn the trust of a boy who’s been hurt time and time again?
