Summary
" Now, it was the night of their graduation and Mike was sure it should have felt bigger. It should have felt like something ending, or something beginning. Instead, it just felt like another evening, dressed up in expectation.
There had been talk of parties, of getting drunk, of doing something reckless enough to mark the occasion. Mike had shut it down almost immediately. Instead, he’d convinced them to play one final game of DnD.
For old time’s sake.
They gathered in his basement, the familiar space grounding in a way nothing else had been lately. Dice scattered across the table, character sheets worn at the edges, snacks half-opened and already forgotten.
It was the closest anything had felt to normal in a long time. "

Summary
Friday Night Date Night.
The notorious night where movie-loving couples could get two tickets and an XL sharing popcorn bucket for the price of one ticket and a small popcorn. Amazing, really. A perfect way to promote date night and teen pregnancy in a small, lonely town.
Mike and Will had been using and abusing this deal for years. It was just a two-for-one offer. They saw nothing wrong with catching cheap movies wherever they could. Sure, it probably didn’t help with the bullying, and the teens trying to make a couple extra bucks scooping popcorn always gave them those looks, but it was just a deal.

Summary
" He closed the remaining distance.
The crowd was feral now. Thousands of voices rising, phones lifted, lights flickering like stars about to combust.
Mike tilted his head slightly, still playing, fingers precise despite the chaos.
He knew exactly what was about to happen.
Will closed the final step between them and slipped behind Mike just as the instrumental thickened, bass vibrating through the stage like a second pulse.
He pressed in.
Not subtle.
His chest against Mike’s back. Heat through thin fabric. The crowd detonated on impact, shrieks slicing through the music as if this was the moment they’d paid for.
Mike leaned back immediately, like gravity had shifted and Will was north. He tipped his head to rest against Will’s shoulder, curls brushing his jaw. To the audience, it read as intimacy. Familiar. Electric. Safe. "

Summary
Mike didn’t know when Steve Harrington became the person he relied on. Heavily.
Maybe it was the way Steve hovered around Dustin like a worried mother hen with shocking vocabulary. Maybe it was the fact that he kept throwing himself at Upside Down disasters armed with nothing but a bat and misplaced confidence all for the sake of just helping. Or maybe it was because Nancy Wheeler had broken up with him.
Somehow, all of Nancy’s exes became significantly cooler once she had dumped them.
Whatever the reason, Mike had started moping at the Harrington house.
A lot.

Or... Steve is like an older brother to Mike and instead of helping him constantly he seems to be distracted by a certain someone's older brother.

Summary
" “Well, I’m going to let you down, and let you help your little… friend. You can spend a few days in my safe house. I’ll leave you uninterrupted until he,” Vecna tilted his head toward Will. “Feels better. Seven days should do it. Then you go home. I will never bother you again.”
“What’s the catch?” he asked, breathless.
“Perhaps you aren’t as dim as you seem,” Vecna mused.
…
“There is a catch,” Vecna continued. “When you leave, you won’t walk side by side. You’ll go single file. You in front. William behind.” "
