Summary
“Just saying, if you’re taking another hit, you should share it with me,” Mike says, and Will slowly tilts his head, drinking in every word. “It just makes sense. Like, mathematically.”
Will’s reddened eyes narrow, bewildered. “Mathematically?”
“If there’s two hits left, we’d each only get one,” Mike explains. “But if we shotgunned, we’d both get two.” God, this is the best idea he’s had in ages. He should’ve stolen Will’s weed, like, months ago. “That’s like, bang for your buck. This is simple math, Will Byers. Keep up.”
In which it’s well past midnight in New York, Will can’t sleep, and Mike feels like they barely know each other anymore.
So, they get a little high. Mike is very normal about all of it.

Summary
It's 1987 and Mike is determined to have the best summer possible. It's been over a year since Hawkins split, and Mike and Will have regained their closeness. Mostly. They do dance around topics and they do occasionally stare at one another for a few seconds too long, but nothing could come between them. Or that's what Mike thought, anyways. Everything was fine until Will found the letters.

Summary
Mike had the look on his face that made Will want to grab him by the shoulders and say what are you thinking, what are you always thinking, just tell me, please, I'm so tired.
Will watched his eyes move across the words;
We will love each other forever.
We will NEVER leave.
We will be the Best Husbands Ever."We did a blood oath. We said we'd do it when we turned eighteen. We're eighteen."
"You can't be serious."
"It's the rules, Will."
They were standing in the ruins of the place where they'd pressed their bleeding fingers together and sworn to be the best husbands ever, and Mike was holding their wedding vows against his chest and asking Will to get in a van with him and drive across the country and pretend to be married for two weeks.
For a second they were eight again, and Mike was saying we'd never have to go home because we'd already be home.
"Okay. Okay, fine. Let's do it."

Summary
"Children, children, CHILDREN!" Murray finally snapped, pinching the bridge of his nose. The three of them shut up and looked at him in shock. "Enough of this pointless, childish bickering already. If I wanted to watch drama like this I would turn on a soap opera or telenovela. My god, do I have to play therapist to EVERYONE in this group?? I could sue you all for emotional compensation!"
Mike started to argue. He didn't know what he was going to say, exactly, but he was still pent up and Murray seemed like a better target than his two best friends. Unfortunately he didn't get very far.
"Ba-ba-ba! NO. Shut up and SIT DOWN. It's my turn to talk," Murray said forcefully, shoving the three of them onto the couch, with Mike somehow ending up in the middle.
"Oh no," Jonathan said under his breath.
"Shit," Nancy said at the same time.
Joyce hurried forward and stepped in between them. "Murray, Murray, no," she pleaded. "I know what you're doing, STOP."
Or: Murray meddles, Mike is hella confused, the world is ending, and Will won't talk to him.
OR: Mike runs away from his feelings and then for his actual, literal life.

Summary
“Are you offended that people think we’re dating?”
“No,” Mike says immediately. “Of course not,” because, again, he should be so lucky.
Will’s baffled expression does not change. “Then why would I be?”
“So– okay, fine, whatever. Should we, like, tell them to get their heads out of their asses and that we’re not– um– dating, or–”
“I think,” Will cuts in, “well. You know what would be funny?”
Honestly, Mike doesn't know what he thought being Will Byers' fake-boyfriend would entail, but he definitely didn't think it would involve this many ugly Christmas sweaters.

Summary
“So walk me through the plan again?”
Max huffed, lifting herself up to sit on the kitchen counter next to where Will was brewing a pot of coffee. “Seriously? We’ve been through this about a dozen times already.”
“I know, I know! It’s just—I don’t know, I’m feeling a little nervous about it.” Will anxiously tapped his fingers on the countertop, staring at the slow drip of the coffee. “I don’t love the idea of lying to Mike–what if he completely freaks out?”
“Isn’t that kind of the point?”
