    Summary

    Halting his blubbing, Mike blinks his eyes back open and allows for his vision to adjust to the unreasonably bright light that’s still surrounding him. His head lolls to the side, vision still coming in and out of focus as he tries to take in the image in front of him, blocking out all of his other senses.

    Mike squints and… Oh.

    Okay—why is God the dictionary definition of the word 'gorgeous'?

    OR: Upon getting his wisdom teeth removed, Mike Wheeler doesn't remember much of anything—including Will Byers, and the fact that they're married to each other. He still feels all the love and adoration he has for the man, though... so he can't be blamed if it all comes spilling out of him in one way or another.

    Summary

    The Eridians have finally gotten the water feature in Ryland's personal zoo enclosure just right (even if Rocky would like him to stop calling his dome that).

    Rocky refuses to believe that humans naturally float. There is no way Ryland's entire species regularly goes into deep water for fun.

    Summary

    “It was the day you got arrested, actually. They still made us all go back to class because, of course.” They roll their eyes. Cash snorts. “Trust Hartley, right. Anyway, Miss Obah was doing this whole class on consent, and it might have hit a little, um, close to home, after everything… and then she started going on this whole tangent about asexuality – it sounded like you. So I just figured.”

    And they give him a proud look, like they’ve got him all figured out. It’s the kind of look you can get stuck under. It’s the kind of look Cash finds himself stuck under, as if Darren can pick all of his secrets right out of him with their perfectly-manicured nails.

    “I’m right, aren’t I.”

    It’s not a question. “Yeah,” Cash admits, uneasy, still struck that Darren can piece him together so easily. And then – “you actually paid attention in SLTs? Because of me?”

    “Don’t tell Miss Obah,” Darren interjects immediately, indignant and embarrassed all at once, setting off another round of snickers from Cash. “She’ll never get over it.”

    -

    Cash gets out of custody. He and Darren have a conversation they're probably long-overdue for.

    Summary

    Mike pushes into his hands, but Will keeps him still.

    "Ask again," he says. Because he's greedy, and he wants Mike to want him.

    He stares at Will's mouth. "Please."

    "Again."

    El is gone.

    Will tries to figure out how to move on in New York, and Mike follows him. Their apartment is haunted not by ghosts, but by the two of them.

    Or: Catastrophically traumatized boys cling to each other and accidentally figure out how to be close—too close—while moving through their grief.
