Summary
Mike Wheeler is on a mission: someone out there is breaking his best friend’s heart, and he’s determined to track down the girl responsible!
If only people would stop looking at Mike like he’s the world’s biggest idiot and actually take him seriously, this would all be a lot easier.Bookmarked by bubba72feelz

Summary
“It’s not your fault that I don’t like girls, Mike.”
“What?”
Mike stares.
“I don’t understand. I know I was an asshole when I said that, Will, and I’m sorry, but why are you bringing that up? Why--”
His hand loosens--
Will’s hands drop.
He smiles a dejected, kind smile.
“It’s… not your fault, Mike.”
Mike’s breathing feels too fast.
“Why are you bringing that up now, Will?”
It’s a whisper.
Will’s smile widens. “You wanted to know. You wanted to feel needed and important. I understand. Because you’ll always be important to me, and I’ll always in a way need you. Not as before, but-- in my heart, Mike, I’ll always know that…”
Say it.
BADUM
BADUM
BADUM BADUM BADU--
“... you are…”
SAY IT.
--... his lips quiver--
“The first person I ever loved.”

Summary
After playing his part in preventing the end of the world, Mike thought senior year would be a piece of cake. Compared to fighting monsters and keeping government secrets, how hard could it be to deal with regular family drama, looming college decisions and his suddenly blaring obsession with staring at his best friend?
It's a gradual realization that he may have never wanted the things he thought he did一and some things, he may have wanted all along.

Summary
He didn’t really understand why someone would want to go to a cemetery for a birthday party, but hey, maybe Will was a bit of a weird kid.
“Hey Will.” Mike called, his voice gentler than he had ever heard it.
He whipped his head around, scanning the rows for another figure, desperately looking for Will. It didn’t really click until Mike stepped forward and knelt beside a grave, placing his perfectly imperfect cake in front of a well-kept headstone.
Oh.
Will Byers is dead.
So how the hell did he end up stuck haunting Mike Wheeler's basement?

Summary
“Who… who tried to stop him?” Mike finally manages to ask, and he dares to look up at the strange girl. “Eleven, who tried to stop Henry?”
There’s a pause. Then, Eleven lifts her head, and she looks Mike directly in the eye. And Mike… Mike knows. Without her even saying a word, Mike knows.
Eleven points to the picture one more time—points to Will one more time. And with a voice full of conviction and full of truth, she whispers, “Will.”
Or:
November 6, 1987. Four years after Will Byers' disappearance and mysterious death, things begin to get a little... strange in Hawkins, Indiana.
