Summary
Seeing his mom constantly on the phone for work, and his sister Jane constantly getting letters from Mike, Will can’t help but feel neglected. While he’s received the occasional letter from Dustin and Lucas, he hasn’t heard from his best friend since he moved. When he hears of Mike’s upcoming visit, he decides to create in an attempt to bridge the gap.
Ending things with Jane when she moved, Mike still finds comfort in her advice. Desperately trying to understand his feelings and how to move forward, he unintentionally avoids Will out of fear of spoiling his chances. He doesn’t know what he wants, all he knows is he can’t write a letter to the boy without signing it, “love, Mike.”

Summary
Mike thinks it all started the day the Byers moved into their house.
Having sold their house in Hawkins a year prior and moved to California, when they came back, and the town got put in lockdown, they didn’t have a place to go.
Mike had kindly offered up their place during Nancy’s graduation dinner.

Summary
There’s something wrong with Will.
It started three weeks ago, almost four. Will had woken from some sort of nightmare and, instead of seeking comfort in Mike the way he usually would, he’d rolled out a sleeping bag from the closet and chosen to sleep on the floor.
No one believes Mike, except for Joyce. But even she doesn’t understand the full extent to which something is wrong with Will.
Mike understands, though. Mike has been paying attention.

Summary
Another fucking dream about Will.
Mike presses the heels of his hands into his eyes until he sees stars.
Three years.
Three goddamn years since graduation, since separate colleges, since everything changed and nothing changed at all.
And still—every night—his traitor brain keeps building Will out of memory and longing until the wanting feels more solid than reality.
He lets his hands fall.
Stares at the ceiling.
Tries to breathe.
Fails.

Summary
Will needs a date to his mom's wedding. Mike volunteers.
“I have an idea,” says Mike.
Ice cubes form in Will’s stomach. “How dangerous is it? Like, should I call Dustin to talk you down, or should I call Nancy to be ready to drive us to the hospital?”
“No,” says Mike, “you can’t tell anyone or it won’t work.”
“Or what won’t work?” Will asks. It’s like picking up a rock you know a spider will be under.
Mike gets up and closes Will’s door. Hopper doesn’t make them keep it open but sometimes Will does anyway, because every now and then lying around alone with Mike on his bed just makes his chest ache too much. If the door is open he can tell himself You can’t do anything right now, someone will see.
Mike leans back against the door. His eyes are lit up with that special maniacal gleam that the Wheelers get right before they do something insane, like when Nancy says, “Then we have to go kill Vecna ourselves,” or whatever. “Take me to the wedding,” says Mike.
“Yeah,” says Will slowly, “you’ll be at the wedding. Obviously.”
“As your date."
