Summary
Will Byers’s Friday night is admittedly not going as planned.
And things had been going surprisingly well, lately, for someone who’s spent the majority of his life feeling more than a little cursed. A radioactive spider bite and extensive childhood trauma will typically do that to you. He would maybe appreciate being New York’s most elusive superhero a little bit more, if he didn’t have to deal with this shit interrupting his life.
This shit in question being bodied by a 500-something-pound mutant in the sewers, to then braining himself on the wall, and having his chest clawed to shreds by said lizard creature.
Oh, and he’s pretty sure he’s drenched in what is at least 80% pisswater right now. Awesome.
What Will should be doing right now is having a movie night with his best-friend-newly-turned-boyfriend, tucked against him on their shitty thrifted couch, in their cheap apartment in Queens.
God, Mike’s going to kill him, if Will doesn’t manage to bite it before getting home to him first. The thought of Mike bitching (and the guttural roar still echoing from the tunnels) is enough to get him moving again, slingshotting himself the hell out of there with a flick of his wrist.

“You lie to yourself, Hollander. Not to me.”
“What, because you know me so well?”
“Yes. I do. Don’t I?”

Summary
Will scowls. “Not funny,” he says for a third time. “Go away.”
Mike drops the stick unceremoniously. It falls to the damp forest floor, tumbling over itself before coming to a stop, splashing a few drops of water onto the hem of Will’s pants. “Okay fine,” Mike says. “I’ll bite. What’s your deal?”
The other fact of the matter is this: tomorrow, Will is going to walk into the Upside Down and not look back. Tomorrow, he is either going to kill Vecna or die trying — and Mike is not going with him.
Even the actual apocalypse had to end sometime, but Will didn’t exactly expect it to happen like this.

Summary
“We don’t want a repeat of the year you were Patient Zero, Mike,” Joyce adds, just for good measure. “So, no kissing and getting another counselor sick, okay?”
A beat passes.
Then, Mike lets out an indignant little squawking noise, and he sits up, his eyes wide and his face becoming increasingly more and more red. “Joyce!” he exclaims, his voice about an octave higher than usual. “I’m not – I mean… I haven’t—”
Or:
The one in which Mike catches a cold, Will coincidentally does too, and Joyce catches on to a little something more between these two.

Summary
The Byers’ new house is closer to Mike’s.
This is a Development.
Mike sees Will on the weekends. Mike sees Will on occasional school nights. Mike sees Will like he’s living with them again, stuffed into Mike’s back pocket, comfortably, reliably close.
Turns out, this is a problem.
.
or: Will is lovely, and Mike is in love. Maybe. Probably. Definitely.

Summary
“You didn’t answer me. Here I am, on my knee—”
“—knees, plural—”
“—asking for your hand in marriage when we are old and gray—”
“—twenty-eight is neither of those things—”
“—and the only thing you can say is wash your hands? I can’t believe romance is dead.”
“We’re in a bathroom.”
“And?”
“And any romance we could have possibly had went out the window the second you came in here.”
/
Eddie and Richie make a marriage pact that, you know, does not define how they go about having relationships for the next ten years. What changes the game, though, is the introduction of Patty Blum to their lives. Sometimes all it takes is a push from very annoying, enthusiastic girl trying to celebrate her birthday.
