Summary
They reach the next platform, Will first and Mike second. Will is leaning forwards against the railing, looking out at the Upside Down.
Mike walks up next to him, already grabbing the water bottle from his backpack. "Water?"
Will nods. "Yeah. Thanks."
Mike takes the lid off and drinks some before passing it to Will. He watches the careful way Will reaches for the top so their fingers won't brush even though that's a bad grip and there's a chance the bottle falls several stories onto the ground.
He keeps watching as Will takes a sip. Is there something more in the way he watches Will? Mike never really let himself consider it.

Summary
Mike fidgets, knocking his feet together and playing with the hems of his sleeves. He laughs, strained and nervous. "Shit, this is so much harder than I thought, but, well, what if I told you you're not as different from all of us as you think? That I might be…that I am like you in more ways than you think."
The entire universe goes to a screeching halt. This dimension could also implode and Will would have no idea, because he's almost certain he's passed out from exhaustion and entered some kind of messed up, torturous dreamscape the likes of which Henry would be envious of.
Then Mike looks at him, and it shatters the idea that this is a manifestation of Will's subconscious. In his dreams, Mike isn't ever this scared. There aren't ever tears shining in his eyes and doubt etched into his features and a stiff fear in his posture. It's almost worse that it's real. Since it's real, Will has to face this in all of its messy, horrible truth.
And the truth is, if this conversation goes where Will's expecting it to, Mike is not straight.
or, will, mike, the basement of the wheeler house, and a confession after saving the world.

Summary
"Yeah." Mike leans his head against the passenger window at just the right angle so his glasses won't dig into the side of his face. "Only took me like five existential crises to figure it out."
"One less than me," Lucas replies. "Took me about six breakdowns at Max's bedside to decide I wanted to become a doctor."
Despite the lingering sadness behind the joke, Mike smiles a little. "We're so fucked up."
"Obviously," Lucas agrees with a smile of his own. "Two fucked up best friends who stopped the end of the world with ease, but couldn't figure out what they wanted to do with their lives without a mental health crisis."
Mike breathes out a laugh. "The end of the world was a walk in the park compared to all of this stuff. I'd rather deal with another nightmare dimension than Mr. Walsh's Calc BC class."
in which mike thinks a lot about dreams and the future, lucas asks for relationship advice, and they both wonder how in the world they made it this far.

Summary
It's bordering on a facade, but El doesn't care. She has a feeling Mike doesn't either. What matters is that he's here, he cares, and he's risking a slow and painful death via an enraged Hopper just to make sure she's okay. In all honesty, El prefers it to when they would make out all the time. She likes how easy it is, how the small moments collect between them and poke through the cloud of the undefined thing their relationship is.

4. As of today, May 1st, 1986, Hawkins is under official quarantine. No one is allowed in or out until further notice, and that includes people who are enrolled in university for the fall.

Number four is what brings Nancy here, pacing around her room and trying not to throw things out the window. Naturally, the entire senior class went into uproar at this decision, screaming at the military and the teachers over the injustice of it all. The entire school left for the day after that. Nancy stormed upstairs immediately after she got home, ignoring Jonathan's asks about how she's feeling and leaving him at the bottom of the stairs.
the military announces the official shutdown of hawkins, mike recruits nancy to help him make a new map of the town, and nancy tries to process the future imploding before her very eyes.
