Summary
In the winter of 1990, Mike Wheeler and Will Byers study at NYU, leaving the haunting shadows of Hawkins behind. But for Mike, the grief of losing Eleven is a ghost that refuses to rest, manifesting as a cold, suffocating silence. As they navigate their freshman year as roommates in Rubin Hall, the distance between them grows in ways Will no longer wishes to bridge. While Mike drowns in his mourning and a confusing sense of his identity, Will finally steps into the light, embracing his identity and finding solace in the arms of a charismatic swimmer named River. As Will discovers what it means to be truly 'seen' for the first time, Mike is forced to watch from the sidelines, struggling with a bitterness he can't name and a jealousy he refuses to admit.

Summary
“How many times have I told you to stop making that weird nest on the floor?” he huffs, striding toward him in a few big, determined steps.
Their arms brush as he passes by, and Will has to stop himself from stumbling backward because every time Mike touches him lately, Will forgets how to be a normal human being. Safe distance, he repeats, but it’s useless.
“Come on, the bed’s big enough for both of us,” Mike insists, voice so gentle it nearly knocks Will straight to the ground.
or; Nancy and Jonathan want to sleep together on the basement couch, and Will is more or less forced to go sleep in Mike’s room.

Summary
There were no words that wouldn’t sound like weakness, and no answers that would make a difference.
Either Zoro was scared or he wasn’t.
Either way, they were still walking. Sanji kept his mouth shut. Not because Zoro told him to, but because talking wouldn’t change the fact that every step felt like someone digging a hook deeper into his leg. His body would heal on its own. His body would handle it. It always had. Things healed. Wounds closed. Pain became memory.
or
Sanji and Zoro get separated from the crew on a strange, seemingly uninhabited island. The island harbors secrets, and the longer they stay, the more things slip out of place. Nothing feels quite right, and the weirdness only grows. As time stretches on, everything between them begins to slip out of place, too.
