Summary
“Friends don’t lie?” It’s a callback, an ancient one, a pinky-promise made between two children at the dead of night, one passed on to their other friends, one that hasn’t been followed for a long time.
“Yeah. Yeah, friends don’t lie. I promise I won’t,” Mike vows, holding onto Will impossibly tighter, like he can speak it into being.
“Okay,” Will whispers, sounding suspiciously choked up. Sad with a resigned longing that Mike doesn’t know how to soothe. “I promise, too.”
~
After the Byers' move into the Wheeler house and Will starts sleeping in the basement, Mike can't stop himself from hovering at the top of the stairs every time he has a nightmare. With a few bumps along the way, this somehow culminates in a whole lot of cuddling and a hell of a lot more personal introspection.

(an alternative take, picking up after Season 4, wherein Mike discovers he wants Will more than air, and Will, for both their sakes, is desperate to fight it. + other strange things happen that really, no one saw coming)

Summary
What happened during the 18 months the Byers' and Wheelers had to stay together under one roof?
Mike and Will's friendship is still fractured under the stress of a shared household. It seems Will would rather do anything but spend time with Mike or even begin to try to mend their relationship.
Around Christmas time, Mike's sleep is constantly interrupted by not only his guilt but also the muffled sounds of distress that come from the basement.
