    Summary

    December, 1986. Hawkins is “normal” again (except for that whole interdimensional fissure thing), the world hasn’t ended in a few months, and Mike Wheeler is losing his mind over planning a middle school dance, a painting he can hardly look at, and the fact that his best friend keeps making his heart do weird, inconvenient things. This is probably fine.

    or:
    Mike and Will are tasked with planning the Snow Ball for extra credit in English Class. Easy enough... if Mike wasn't pining for his best friend (unbeknownst to either of them, of course).

    Summary

    “Guess that’s Will with me then.” Dustin shrugs, and Mike’s tight stomach drops to his toes.

    Will looks startled too, blinking curiously at Dustin which is rightfully so because— because— Has Will even slept over at Dustin’s? Mike was always the host house. It doesn’t make sense. It—

    The conversation has carried on without him, Dustin relaying all of his radio updates, the news about the burn. No one says anything more about the sleeping arrangements, but there’s something sour at the back of Mike’s throat when he watches Will bike off with Dustin.

    OR

    After the earthquake (read: Upside Down splits open) Will Byers needs a place to stay. So why isn't he staying at Mike's?

    Summary

    When Will needs to get his thoughts out of his head, he writes a letter he never intends to send. He addresses it to Mike, and tells him everything.

    Feeling lighter than he has in weeks and buoyed by the adrenaline of writing it all out, Will acts on an impulse and ends the letter with, "If you’d be willing to give me a chance, I’d be really happy to date you. If you’re open to trying it, please meet me in Castle Byers this Saturday at 2:00pm. I’m not asking for any promises, I’m not asking for forever or anything like that; all I’m asking is that you give me a chance. Come if you want; if not, I completely understand, no hard feelings, and I’ll never, ever mention this again."

    He forgets all about the letter, and the distinctive red envelope he stowed it in, until he turns around to find it missing. Now, Will has to think of some way to stop Mike from reading that letter - or should he wait at Castle Byers on Saturday at 2:00pm and pray for a miracle?
