Summary
Both of their bodies shake as they catch their breath. Will’s still hard, and his sweat is starting to dry uncomfortably on his skin, but all he can focus on is Mike.
It’s times like these he’s reminded how lucky he is to have Mike in this way. To see this side of him, this side that still feels too new and too intimate and too overwhelming all at once. Sometimes, he thinks he might be bitter. Resentful of his lot in life, being so painfully in love with someone who will so obviously never feel the same way. On his bad days, he even thinks he might resent Mike.
Like this, though, he knows that could never be true. Not really. Sure, it hurts, only ever having Mike halfway, knowing his body but never his soul. Yes, it’s going to kill him when Mike inevitably finds someone new and runs off into the sunset, leaving him in the dust again.
But it’s Mike. He'll take whatever he can get.
When he and Mike end up in bed together after graduation, they fall into something dangerously easy. Or, at least, it would be easy, if it weren’t the most painful thing Will’s ever done.

Summary
Mike regrets not grabbing a second jacket.
The air in the Upside-Down tastes like church confession-booths. Murray's van is freezing inside, and his skin burns, like one of those Sunday-school devils, horned, red and evil, just crawled under his epidermis and started scratching at his nerves with a pitchfork.

Summary
He squeezes his eyes shut for a second, swallowing hard. He knows he’s not just some replacement. He’s not a second Max any more than Dustin is a second Mike. That’s stupid. He knows that.
He’s his own person. Him and Max couldn’t be more different if they tried.
But… Max was Lucas’ first love.
The first person he ever kissed. The girl he used to talk about like she was everything, like she was forever, the one he thought he was going to marry when they were just kids, when everything felt simple and permanent.
And, on the other side, Mike had Jane. His first kiss too, his first everything, in a way that stuck.
Will’s chest tightens.
Did Lucas feel that way about Max, the way Mike feels about Jane?
Something deep and steady and impossible to shake?
or, Will and Lucas are on a break. Will's worried that Lucas doesn't really want him, but Lucas is desperate to get his (ex) boyfriend back. Meanwhile, Mike has some letting go to do.

Summary
Sir Michael tilted his head, squinting at Will. Without warning, his hand came to cup Will's cheek, turning his skin at least ten degrees warmer. "He looks like you," Sir Michael continued, "and he has your name. Your moles, too."
His thumb came down to brush the mole over Will's top lip. The touch felt soft, strangely reverent. "My— moles?"
Mike had the same sentiment, albeit with more displeasure. "His moles?"
Will makes a wish. Sir Michael the Brave comes to fulfill it, but Mike Wheeler makes his wish come true.
