    Summary

    “How’s school going?” Joyce asks.
    “Good. It’s…going good,” Mike replies. She nods and sips her hot chocolate.
    “Mrs. Byers.” She looks up at him and Mike feels his heart beat faster. “Why did you make three hot chocolates?”
    She takes her time to answer. “I don’t know,” she replies after a while. “It felt like the right thing to do today.”
    Today. Today’s weird, Mike thinks.
    “It’s March 22nd today.”
    “I know.”

    Summary

    “Who… who tried to stop him?” Mike finally manages to ask, and he dares to look up at the strange girl. “Eleven, who tried to stop Henry?”

    There’s a pause. Then, Eleven lifts her head, and she looks Mike directly in the eye. And Mike… Mike knows. Without her even saying a word, Mike knows.

    Eleven points to the picture one more time—points to Will one more time. And with a voice full of conviction and full of truth, she whispers, “Will.”

     

    Or:

    November 6, 1987. Four years after Will Byers' disappearance and mysterious death, things begin to get a little... strange in Hawkins, Indiana.

    Summary

    Hopefully they weren’t. Hopefully he could slip in quietly, make his way to the bathroom for a hot shower, and then crawl back onto the makeshift air mattress on Mike Wheeler’s floor, letting sleep take him somewhere else for a change.

    Unfortunately for Will, things never went quite the way he planned. He was so close—he’d managed to open and shut the front door without a sound, the only light in the house coming from the stairwell. He took it as his cue, stepping carefully up the stairs, around the corner, and—

    “Where have you been?”

    Right into Mike.

    ...

    or: will is spiraling, mike is panicking, and yes, making out with a jock somehow seemed like a good idea at the time.

    Summary

    Mike knows that adolescence has been kind to Will; yes, he's become more attractive (than before). What he didn't expect is that this would attract attention at school. Now everyone wants Will, including that jerk Chance.

    But only Mike knows what it's like to have Will, and he doesn't like Chance wondering what it's like to love Will.
