Summary
"I'm glad I went," Mike murmurs near Will's ear.
"Had fun?" Will asks playfully.
"Oh, yeah," Mike stretches sarcastically.
They stay like that for a little longer than necessary, then reluctantly separate, still looking at each other. Will can't hold the eye contact for long, and turns away, biting down a smirk.
"Goodnight, then," he breathes out.
"Yeah. Goodnight," Mike nods nervously and smiles. That same stupid dorky smile.

The Party have one last fun summer together before moving away, everyone is alive and happy and in love and stupid.

Summary
“If you really don’t want to do this, just say so. I will never bring it up again,” Mike says as he moves his hands near his face, and Will panics again.
“No, I do really, I just don’t get… Why me?” He asks and swallows as he lets the sentence leave his lips, if he doesn’t hold his tongue, things he doesn’t want out could make their way out.
“It feels safe,” Mike says simply, and Will’s stomach warms up, he's so scewed.
A.k.a Mike gets teased for sucking at kissing, Will laughts at him, and then regrets it when Mike suggests practicing together.

Summary
It’s the summer of ’86. Mike is left to babysit Holly when Mrs. Wheeler gets a job, so Will and Mike have an unlikely companion during some of their hangouts. Will gets to see Mike in a new light, and they realize that maybe part of growing up is figuring out how not to.
OR
“Who’s that?” Holly whispered to Mike, though if she was trying to be subtle, she didn’t exactly succeed.
Will laughed, a little confused. He knew he had never talked that much to Holly, but she had definitely known who he was.
“I’m Will. Will Byers. Do you remember me? I used to come over here a lot.”
Not taking her eyes off of Will, Holly leaned into Mike’s knees to whisper closer to his ear. “He’s handsome now,” she said, completely audibly.
