    Summary

    Mike recalls the brief interaction he had this morning in the hallway for perhaps the hundredth time. Maybe his friends can help. Help with what exactly, Mike doesn’t know— but something has been bugging him and he needs to get to the bottom of it.

    “Hey, do you guys know that kid that wears all black? Chain belt? Eyeliner?”

    “The gay kid?” Dustin supplies.

    Oh, that’s right. Mike knew he had heard about him somewhere. He’s kind of famous around school. Well, him and his boyfriend. Even with it being 2006, they’re still the only openly gay people at the school.

    Mike nods. “Yeah, I guess. I ran into him this morning. Literally, like we collided.”

    ——

    Mike has a run-in with Will Byers, the school’s so-called “gay kid”. He takes it upon himself to befriend him, and quickly learns about Will’s relationship troubles with his boyfriend Matt. Along the way, Mike struggles with his identity, and Will struggles with his self-worth.

    Summary

    “You’re weirdly good at this,” Richie said at one point, taking his rent with a grin. “Like… responsible good. Kinda hot.”

    Will’s brain stalled. He’d never been called that.

    Mike choked, eyes staying on the bills in his hands. “Can you not flirt with my—”

    He stopped himself so abruptly it made Will’s stomach twist.

    With his what?

    OR

    Will Byers has spent years being quiet—about his feelings, about what he wants, about who he’s allowed to be.

    Richie Tozier has never been quiet about anything in his life.

    Over Christmas break, Will begins to realize that maybe what he needs isn’t someone careful, or hesitant, or afraid of being seen—but someone who chooses him loudly.

    Summary

    He’d stared at Will without really seeing him, so caught up in his own thoughts—a constant, monotonous beat of oh my God, I’m alive. Oh my God, Will has powers. Oh my God, he saved me.

    And then—

    Oh my God, he’s beautiful.

    The thought had stopped him short, had landed with a soft and devastating clarity.

    Beautiful.

    That single word had broken something open within him, something he’d spent years reinforcing with lock and chain and prayer and denial.

    After Will saves Mike from the demogorgon at the MAC-Z, Mike finally lets himself acknowledge a truth he's been running from for years:

    He is in love with Will Byers.

    Now all Mike has to do is come to terms with that truth—especially when Joyce sees it too.
