Summary
Winter, New York City, 1992.
Mike Wheeler has always been late. Chronically so. Late to school, late to work, late to realize just how head over heels he was and is for his best friend, Will Byers. During Winter break, Mike visits Will in NYC, excited not only to explore the big city but to explore Will’s version of it. He finds Will brighter, more social, less repressed, and he seems happy with his new boyfriend, Carlton, but things aren’t what they appear.The two explore Will’s new life, while Mike battles nostalgia, his heart’s heavy yearning, and his own morals. If Will is happy, that’s all that matters- or at least that’s what he tells himself. The more time they spend, the more the lines seem to blur, and it becomes harder to ignore the feelings between them that maybe never really went away.

Summary
Mike is waiting for Will in the basement, a look of suspicious, nervous excitement on his face. He cleared the table and laid out upon it are two card games.
"Now, I know you’ll resist," Mike blurts out, stepping toward him. "But I think this will be good. For both of us! For when we... you know,” Mike trails off, “When we get partners.”
Will scoffs, stepping closer to inspect the titles.
Spill or Sip and Truth, Dare, or Strip.
Or: Mike suggests a spicy card game to help Will loosen up before college. It works a little too well, and suddenly they’re gambling with unresolved feelings, and clothes, that were meant to stay in place.

First step he needs to convince Robin.
