Summary
Mike has spent months ignoring what he feels when he looks at Will. Months pretending that the way his heart races doesn't mean anything. That "best friends" is enough.
Then Will uses his powers to save them all, and Mike can't stop watching. Can't stop wanting.
When Mike walks downstairs and sees Will changing his shirt—sees the freckles scattered across his back like stars—everything he's been denying comes crashing down.
Will knows. He's always known. And he's done waiting.

Summary
“Who’s Tammy?”
“What?” The question comes out of Will like it was yanked out of his lungs. “I– what do you mean?” The fear returns. His blood is running cold. He can’t take this.
“While you were talking, you mentioned that someone was your Tammy. I don’t understand what that means.” Mike is looking at him now. His expression is unreadable.
“I… it doesn’t mean anything.” Will waves his hands around frantically, trying to justify the lie. “It was a dumb thing to say when only like, two people there knew who she was.”
“But then who is she? It must mean something, if you said that.” Mike furrows his brow as he sees Will’s hands grip the desk. “Will, it’s okay. I just… I just wanna know.”

Summary
“So I stopped fighting. I stopped being scared of the connection. And then I just… I thought about what I had to protect. My mom. Jonathan.” Another pause. Will's voice drops even lower. “You.”
Mike’s heart performed a slow, heavy roll in his chest. “…You thought about me?”
Will looked at him like he’d asked if water was wet. A faint, almost sad smile appeared. “Of course I did.”
What happens - and what Mike realizes - after Will's big moment.

Summary
“Well, I can tell this means something to him. I’ve got this feeling about it.”
If Will has a feeling, it means something.
“Okay.” Mike nods. “Tell me about it. When did you see this?”
Will breathes out, dragging a hand down his face that settles over his mouth as he looks over it again. “This is… a memory, I think.” He declares, taking a black marker and inking lines between the reds. “A good one. Maybe not happy, but hopeful.”

Summary
Mike breathes out sharply, sinking to his knees in front of Will without conscious thought. Every bone in his body is turning to jelly, because Will is here, but he's also- not. His form is made up of the same dusty gold that fills the air around him, flaking off him and dancing around. Mike wants to reach out and catch the light in his palm. Will looks not entirely solid, like this is some poor imitation of him rendered in light particles, like his physical form is somewhere else, and for a horrible moment Mike thinks that Will is a ghost after all. That this is an illusion, brought about by Mike's hopeless yearning. If it weren't for the pebbles digging sharply into his legs as he knees on the ground and the crisp chill of the spring air on his face, Mike would be sure he was dreaming, but he doesn't think he could dream up something so simultaneously as magical and horrifying as the specter of his maybe-dead friend hovering before him.
"Will," he whispers, reaching out until his fingers are centimeters from Will's arm, and Will's eyes fly open.
on march 29th, 1986, will byers vanishes for a second time. 366 days later, he reappears.
