Summary
“Shit, shit,” Will scrambles to the floor-length mirror he’d found propped up on a dumpster at the end of his Freshman year. He pulled at his sweater and fluffed his hair. “Coming!”
He trips over his feet rushing to get to the door, before freezing to glance at the tiny apartment. His sketchbooks are everywhere, his bed is unmade, and he hasn’t scooped Bowie’s litter box today. There isn’t time to do anything about it now.
Taking a calming breath in, he yanks open the door.
There, in his doorway with a giant goofy grin, stands Michael Wheeler.
-or
Will Byers moved to Chicago for school, and he's thriving. Mike has failed in his attempts to move on with his life and is back home, living in his childhood bedroom in Hawkins, Indiana, after dropping out of college. When Will cancels his trip to Hawkins for the first time, Mike decides to be impulsive and drive to Chicago.

Summary
It's 1993, and Mike doesn’t really know how to deal with adulthood. You could say he’s been a little depressed.
With Max and Lucas planning their move to California, the party stage a totally-not-an-intervention to pull him out of his isolation in Hawkins and Mike goes to stay with Will in New York.
Mike hasn’t seen his best friend in-person for almost four years. Will looks - different. Very different - and is that an earring?
It's kind of driving Mike crazy. To the point where he's dreaming of Will nightly. Yeah, those kinds of dreams.
Mike has no idea why this is happening to him - or at least that's what he tells himself.

Summary
“Is it cause you used to have a crush on me?” Mike asked, abruptly.
“What!” It was Will’s turn to blush harder, giving him a glare reserved for Mike Wheeler and Mike Wheeler only. “No. God. That was ages ago. I’ve been past that for a long time.”
Mike motioned like he’d made his point. “See? So? It wouldn’t be weird.”
So, Mike likes guys. Fine, Will can live with that. Except now Mike's worried about having fallen behind and would really like some help practicing how to kiss a guy from his also-into-guys best friend. And Will is trying really, really hard to be a good mentor to him, so what is he going to do, say no?

Summary
“It’s not like I don’t drink at college too, you know, I mean, just because I don’t go to frat parties, if you’re worried I’m going to judge you or something—”
“That’s not what—” Will huffed out a laugh, staring up at the ceiling. He turned around. “I go to gay bars, okay? It’s—just, not your scene. Obviously.”
Will’s face twisted on that last word, half a grimace. For some reason, it was a punch to the gut. Something defiant rose up within Mike.
“Well, do you have to be a card-carrying member to get in, or something?” he asked, eyebrows raised. “I mean, a bar’s a bar, right?”
Will’s face broke into an uncertain smile. “Mike…”
“I came here for the Will Byers New York experience,” Mike said, earnestly. “Am I going to get it, or what?”
Mike visits Will in New York and realizes a few things.
