Summary
“It’s just—look, guys do this kind of stuff with each other all the time, right? I mean, they help each other with this sort of…stuff when it comes to girls. Or whatever.” Mike waves his hands around helplessly, like whatever is supposed to cover the fact that he just asked Will to be his personal kissing tutor-slash-crash-test-dummy. “And we—we aren’t even…like that, y’know. So it’s not like—it wouldn’t actually mean anything, it can just be—an experiment. Practice. Between us. Between friends.”
An experiment. AN EXPERIMENT. Cool. Yeah. No big deal. Definitely not the exact thing Will's thought about every night since, oh, forever. Not like Will’s been in love with Mike since we were twelve or anything. Nope. Totally chill. Totally fine.

Summary
Mike recalls the brief interaction he had this morning in the hallway for perhaps the hundredth time. Maybe his friends can help. Help with what exactly, Mike doesn’t know— but something has been bugging him and he needs to get to the bottom of it.
“Hey, do you guys know that kid that wears all black? Chain belt? Eyeliner?”
“The gay kid?” Dustin supplies.
Oh, that’s right. Mike knew he had heard about him somewhere. He’s kind of famous around school. Well, him and his boyfriend. Even with it being 2006, they’re still the only openly gay people at the school.
Mike nods. “Yeah, I guess. I ran into him this morning. Literally, like we collided.”
——
Mike has a run-in with Will Byers, the school’s so-called “gay kid”. He takes it upon himself to befriend him, and quickly learns about Will’s relationship troubles with his boyfriend Matt. Along the way, Mike struggles with his identity, and Will struggles with his self-worth.
