    Summary

    “I bet your boyfriend's funny, huh?” he said, before he could stop himself. His eyes flicked back to the piece of jewellery on Will’s neck. “Nice necklace by the way.”

    Will froze.

    Mike wasn’t stupid. He knew it wasn’t just a necklace. It was a signal. A claim.

    Six years after everything, Mike Wheeler has built a life of routine and avoidance, convincing himself that silence is the same as healing. Will Byers has done the opposite – he’s left, grown, and learned to love without apology.

    When they meet again at Lucas and Max’s wedding, the truth Mike has spent years avoiding, finally demands to be faced – especially when he sees Will with someone else.

    As he finds out, sometimes yearning doesn’t fade with time. It grows, until punches are thrown.

    Summary

    “ And then there was Tammy.

    Not a guy.
    Not a real person.
    Just a story. A metaphor. A way to talk about unreturned feelings without having to say a name.
    Mike felt it then, sharp and undeniable.

    Tammy wasn’t a stranger.
    Tammy wasn’t someone he didn’t know.
    Tammy was him.”

    or

    Mikes believes Tammy is the boy Will likes.
    He don’t considers the possibility that Tammy might be him.
    But then…

    Summary

    Will’s voice trails off, and he runs a hand over his face. Mike waits a few moments to see if he’ll say anything else, but when Will doesn’t, he takes a shaky breath and tries to find his own courage.

    “And you thought, what?” Mike whispers. “That - that it wouldn’t mean as much to me if it came from you?”

    Will flinches. He’s still turned away from Mike, and there’s a desperation in his voice when he whispers back, “Mike, please…”

    Or:

    After returning to the Wheeler house, Mike finds out the truth about Will’s painting.
