Summary
Mike didn’t think there was anything else that more perfectly captured the magic of Christmas than this: ice skating beneath a glittering tree, next to a beautiful boy, hand-in-hand. The endless strings of lights reflected in Will’s eyes, creating a kaleidoscope of colors. In the distance, an old Hollywood singer crooned about holding the one you love close in front of the fire on Christmas Eve. Typical.
Mike Wheeler takes it upon himself to give his friends a Christmas they'll never forget. However, Christmastime is rather difficult to navigate when you're constantly trying to hide the fact that you're hopelessly in love with your best friend.

Summary
Mike Wheeler and Will Byers have spent years orbiting each other, close enough to feel everything, too scared to say anything. When a mix-up at school causes Will's sketchbook and Mike's journal to get swapped, each boy suddenly holds something deeply personal: pages filled with late-night thoughts, half-finished confessions, and words they never meant the other to see.
Will finds writings about himself in Mike's margins, pieces of stories where the hero always has brown eyes, and a running list titled "Things I Should Tell Will Someday." Mike discovers drawings of him hidden between landscapes, quiet entries about missing home, and a note that Will wrote but never delivered: "I wish you knew how much you matter to me."
Both boys panic, do they pretend nothing happened? Return the books untouched? Confront the truth? But the more they read, the more they realize the feelings they've been burying aren't one-sided.
When monsters return to Hawkins and the boys are forced to depend on each other again, the unsent letters become the one thing keeping them brave. As danger closes in, Mike and Will must decide: keep hiding behind words they never said, or finally speak them out loud, before it's too late.

Summary
Mike gazed out over the lake as they steadied the boat, sitting down on the old, splintered planks which served as benches. The gate ripped like fire across the water. The authorities had long since stopped placing security alongside the entire edge of the tear in the earth. It just sat, smoldering, hellish. Somehow gravity played into this whole thing, and the water of the lake… hadn’t fallen through the gate.
The beach they pushed off from was actually oddly tranquil.
Will grabbed the paddles. “God, we should’ve at least left a note or something-”
“Will.” Mike said seriously. “You can go back if you want. I wouldn’t blame you.”
“No, no, I- it’s just bad in there, Mike.”
What had he been thinking? Mike suddenly felt incredibly guilty. Pulling Will back into the Upside Down after what’d happened-
“Shit, Will. I didn’t even think,” Mike said anxiously. “If you-”
Will looked him dead in the eyes. “Absolutely not. I'm not going anywhere.” He began shrugging off his jacket.
Mike’s heart did something funny in his chest. “Cool.”
