Summary
It wasn’t his fault they hadn’t seen each other in so long. It wasn’t anyone’s fault. That’s just how things are sometimes. He works a busy job and has an apartment in New York, and there really isn’t much time for him to visit. And every time he called up with an excuse as to why he couldn’t come home for a day or two during the summer, or at Thanksgiving, or for Christmas, Karen reminded herself of that simple fact and tried not to plead with him into a cracking handset.
Or; three years after leaving Hawkins for good, Mike is coming home for the holidays. Karen is determined to make it perfect.

Summary
“Just hold still,” she says, moving her other hand to hold the back of his head.
He could barely hear the music drifting out of the gym doors above the pounding in his ears. He was being ridiculous, really.

Summary
“Do you really think El can stop this?”
It doesn’t mean anything that Mike’s eyebrows furrow for a split second, or that his jaw clenches and his hands still when El’s name resounds into the room.
He expects the answer he gets, an overly reassuring, overly confident, overly strained “Of course.”
Will has a bad day. Mike is there to hold his hand.

Summary
He sees Will’s pupils flitter about his face, examining him just as he had done the view before. A voice in his head tells him he should cower, that he should want to run and find somewhere where he will never have Will look at him again. But he wants nothing more than to stay exactly as he is, fixed to the ground, him and Will simply looking at one another.
July 1912, Mike takes Will for a scenic afternoon painting.
