Summary
Silence. Hungry, carnivorous—or maybe cavernous, vast and lined with teeth, ready to bite. The quiet before the storm, the gasped breath in before the heart stops. Tragedy tastes bitter. Blood tastes like pennies. Both are in the air, promises coating the tongue. Something bad is about to happen.
From beneath the bed, something reaches out—a mass of darkness, a shapeless nothing—and it grabs Mike by the wrist, yanks him forward. Mike chokes on a yelp and flails his arm free, blood dripping from where the shadows grabbed him, like the touch of darkness has split him open. He tries to scramble away, unfolds his legs to kick himself back but only makes himself easier, more vulnerable. The unidentifiable mass encircles Mike's ankle, and he screams something agonized, terrified—and then it pulls Mike, clawing at the carpet with his bloodied fingers, under the bed.
This time, the silence isn't hungry. It's satisfied.
will starts entering the mindscape in his dreams on the same night that mike gets taken by vecna. this is probably the least confusing part of everything that happens after.

Summary
"They called you Zombie Boy after I took you," Henry murmured, "didn't they? You came back from the dead, and left something in the dark, in the grave dirt. Something that made you healthy."
Slowly, Will's outstretched hand cupped Mike's jaw. Henry made Will hold him lightly, hardly grazing the skin. He stretched one of Will's fingers out to trace his nail through Mike's face, and though Will had imagined holding Mike an endless amount of times, none of them had gone like this. He'd never wanted to hold Mike like this.
"Let him go," said Will, voice thick with emotion. "You can take what you want from me, you don't need him—"
"But you do," said Henry. "You need him."
When Henry starts to visit Will in his dreams, Mike starts getting inexplicable injuries. The stranger Mike acts— the more time he spends with Will, the more Will catches him staring, the more Mike dismisses the bruises and cuts scattered across his skin— the more Will starts to wonder whether Henry is right about him.
Maybe Henry did give Will a disease, back in the Upside Down. Maybe, as he dreams, Will passes that disease on to Mike, too.

Summary
Mike just had to survive one summer.
One summer of shared rooms.
Shared clothes.
Shared glances.
Shared touches that lasted one heartbeat too long.
How hard could it be?
Will was his best friend. His best friend. Nothing more. Nothing he should want more than that.
No matter what his gut whispered, no matter how his pulse stuttered every time Will smiled at him… that was who Will was. That was who Will had to be.
And nothing—nothing—could be allowed to change that.- Language:

Summary
It isn’t just the name thing. It’s a lot of little things. Will spacing out, or tapping his first and second fingers idly on his other wrist, or saying things with a weird lilting inflection, or fiddling with the radio knobs for a little too long in the basement, like he’s searching for something.
(‘Midnight,’ Mike could have sworn he heard Will mumble, one of those times. ‘Midnight…’)
--
Mike realizes he's stuck in Camazotz.
