Summary
“Dustin’s your Tammy?” And it shouldn’t bother him. Not really. But what the fuck? What does Dustin have that Mike doesn’t?
“Dustin is, without a doubt, not my Tammy.” Will hums, serene as can be. Which is pretty annoying, considering Mike’s sort of wanted to fight Dustin since the words came out of his mouth.
“Oh. You’re sure?”
“Pretty positive, yeah.” Will laughs.

Just finished chapter 4.
Hilarious, great dialogue from Dustin and Lucas who are over Mike’s shit:
And it—I—it was a great kiss! A fantastic kiss! A twelve out of ten—”
“How much do you wanna bet he went with twelve because he thought it would be awkward to say it was an eleven—”

Summary
“Wait,” Lucas takes another glance at Will, specifically at the sweater he’s wearing. “Is that Mike’s?”
Here’s the other thing about the last eight or so months of Will Byers’ life: he’s been spending his nights, on and off, secretly, semi-occasionally, very frequently, kissing Mike Wheeler.
He’s confused about it too, don’t even worry.

Secretly together, in a car talking at the end. Not a ton of action but sweet dialogue

Summary
Will smiles encouragingly at him, swiping his tears away and kissing his forehead again. "Let's make a deal, okay?" he murmurs, voice low and full of a bittersweet sort of hope. "If in five years we're both doing better, and we're not dating anyone else-" Mike blanches at the concept of dating anyone else, of Will dating anyone else- "we can try again, okay?"
Five years sounds like a terribly long time. In five years, Mike will be twenty-three. He'll be done with college, will have a career, could be living anywhere in the world for all he knows, and the same goes for Will.
But five years is a whole lot less than forever, so Mike will take it.
In the summer of 1989, Mike and Will fall apart. Five years later, they fall back together.

Stunning incredible showstopping. Probably my favorite Byler fanfic ever. Incredible characterization, Mike beefing with his agent, tangible and real plot. I need to get it printed and binded

Summary
Except it’s him, and it’s Will, and the more Mike writes his little stories, the more he realizes that the emotional core is never the girl who saves the world.
It’s always the boy who vanished, and came back. The boy who knows what to say without being asked. The one who waits. The one who believes.
The one whose love was never loud enough to scare him—but maybe loud enough to save him, if he’d let it.
