    Summary

    “Oh, come on,” Will says, struggling to keep his voice neutral in a different way. His mouth is dry, and he hates Mike for it even more. “Is this what it’s going to be like this summer?”

    Mike looks back at him, considering, lips pursed in an effort to shut down the smirk that Will knows is fighting to break free. Will doesn’t dare to let his gaze catch there, focusing instead on holding Mike’s stare, because this, too, is a game.

    Five years into a rivalry with bittersweet origins, the only thing Mike and Will want is to beat each other at this summer’s camp counselor competition. But being back at camp is dredging up old memories, and as Mike and Will lose momentum and gain something else entirely, it becomes increasingly clear that one summer can change everything.

    Summary

    "No," Will said quickly. "It's okay. He's going to be okay."

    Nancy turned, the shock freezing her features into something horrifying. "He doesn't have a pulse."

    Will held up his hands as he shook his head. "I know. But it—he—will be fine. You'll see."

    Nancy choked on a sob. "He's dead! How is he going to be okay?"

    Or: Four years after graduation, they're back in the Abyss, where a failing fight leads to Mike being bitten and losing everything about himself, except his love for Will Byers.
