    Summary

    Mike thinks it all started the day the Byers moved into their house.

    Having sold their house in Hawkins a year and a half 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 dinner.

    The 18-month gap between s4 and s5 told from Mike's POV with minor other POV's as the story progresses. The gap has been lengthened to encapsulate more time passing. They start at 16, but by chapter 6 they're 17 1/2 with them turning 18 chapter 32/34.

    Summary

    The feeling of being wanted is a powerful drug. Being wanted by the one you want is incomparable.

    "Mike," Will says lowly. "You’re— You’re so close."

    Too close, his brain supplies, a little hysterical. Too much.

    Mike doesn’t pull away. "I know."

    "Why?"

    "Keeping up…" Mike exhales a short laugh that Will feels on his neck, "appearances."

    -

    A guy hits on Will at a party, Mike leaves with a hickey, and by morning everybody thinks they're dating.

    Will knows it’s supposed to be pretend. He just doesn’t know how to act like he hasn’t wanted this for as long as he can remember.
