Summary
“We’ll always be here,” El replies kindly. “If things are ever confusing, remember that, okay?”
Mike swallows the lump rising in his throat. His hands shake with vulnerability. The room feels a bit suffocating, but he can’t tell if it’s from fear or love.
He thinks it might be love.
He meets Will’s gaze. He sees an entire galaxy in his eye.
“You came back,” Will says simply. “You came back to us, and that’s all that matters.”
Season 5, but things don't go as planned. In fact, Mike learns that reality can fall apart in the blink of an eye, and promises are the only thing that can stitch it back together.

Summary
“Will Byers?”
Will glances around, as if there is another Will Byers in their vicinity. He manages a small smile. “Yeah, it’s- uh. It’s me.”
Mike rushes forward, and all he can think is holy shit, Will is alive, as he’s throwing his arms around the other boy and tugging him in for a crushing hug. It isn’t until Will is secure, nestled–maybe a bit stiffly–in his arms, that Mike starts crying.
“I thought you were dead,” Mike murmurs, muffled by Will’s jacket. He sniffles. “I thought- we- they told us you were dead.”
Or, Will was never found in S1, but survives in the Upside Down until 1987 due to his powers and connection with Vecna. Cue Mike, an ill-timed trip to the Upside Down, and a lot of feelings.

Summary
By all accounts, though, this should have worked. William had pored over countless volumes from the royal Library, and, when all other remedies failed, had ventured deeper, darker. Surely there would be some ancient magic strong enough to break Sir Michael from his trance.
—
A dangerous spell goes awry. Sir Michael vanishes off the face of the earth, and a disgruntled teenager takes his place. Worlds away, Will Byers discovers a wrench has been thrown in his plan to have a great summer.
