Summary
He’s planning on turning around and going to the bus stop. It’s not even that far. Really, that’s what he’s thinking, he swears, but his feet seem to have other plans. In his head, he’s walking towards the street.
In front of his eyes, Will Byers opens the door.
I love you, Mike thinks, like he always does.
“Hi,” he says.
—
Mike runs away from his house, and goes home.

Summary
Mike feels—fuzzy, a little bit. Not from the wine, because he didn’t have much, but just from the day itself. From his realization. From the certainty that he can’t go back, after this. He’s let himself feel it. He’s let himself decide. From today on, there’ll just be the time before he knew he liked Will, and the time after.
Without really thinking about it, he swipes over to his messages. His and Will’s pathetic last conversation is still there, Will’s gracious apology and Mike’s fumbling acceptance. The screen blurs in front of his eyes; light and color and sound. He types:
Do you ever think about us?
He presses send.

Summary
In the summer of 1989, the Byers family moves to Montauk, cutting short Mike and Will's last summer together before college. Certain he'll never see his friend again, Will confesses his love on their last night together, rocking Mike's world entirely. As the tear-filled goodbyes draw to a close, however, Mike is suddenly offered the unexpected opportunity to travel with the Byers family and help them move.
They have five days out of state together to address Will's confession, learn to communicate, and maybe, just maybe, say a few things they should have said all along.

Summary
It's 1992, and Mike and Will are juniors in college and living together in a tiny NYC apartment. Life is great. It's everything Mike could ever want: his best friend, an incredible city, and the world at his fingertips. The only problem? He's in love with said best friend and has no idea how he could ever tell him.
Luckily for him, he's presented with an opportunity to get much closer to him every Friday night, as long as he promises not to get all weird after. How hard could that be?
Or: Mike and Will become friends with benefits and the universe laughs because they're both ridiculously in love with each other.

Summary
Mike Wheeler walks into a gay bar… and it’s not the start of a joke.
It’s the start of learning how to exist without apologizing for it.
Newly out and still kinda terrified of taking up space, Mike is sure everyone will clock him as an intruder the second he steps inside. But instead of judgment, he finds Will Byers. His quiet confidence, the kind that doesn't demand anything, makes Mike feel safe in a way he's never felt before.
One conversation turns into hours. Hours turn into something that feels dangerously like connection. The air between them turns electric, charged with something neither of them names.
Nothing happens.
But everything changes.
