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
“Just saying, if you’re taking another hit, you should share it with me,” Mike says, and Will slowly tilts his head, drinking in every word. “It just makes sense. Like, mathematically.”
Will’s reddened eyes narrow, bewildered. “Mathematically?”
“If there’s two hits left, we’d each only get one,” Mike explains. “But if we shotgunned, we’d both get two.” God, this is the best idea he’s had in ages. He should’ve stolen Will’s weed, like, months ago. “That’s like, bang for your buck. This is simple math, Will Byers. Keep up.”
In which it’s well past midnight in New York, Will can’t sleep, and Mike feels like they barely know each other anymore.
So, they get a little high. Mike is very normal about all of it.

Summary
“A nice little heart to heart,” Mike repeats quietly. “About my dead girlfriend.”
“And his dead sister,” Dustin adds, unperturbed.
Or: Post-canon fix-it, from graduation. Four summers, four winter breaks, and four spring breaks in which Mike Wheeler needs to figure his shit out.
