Summary
He looked at the charcoal smudge again. It was so distinctly Will. It was like finding a fingerprint at a crime scene, only the crime was Mike’s rapidly disintegrating sanity.
He should close the tab. He should absolutely, one hundred percent close the tab, clear his browser history, burn the laptop, and maybe move to a monastery in Tibet where the wifi was spotty. He should walk into Will’s room right now and say... what?
Hey man, sorry to wake you, but are you spreading your cheeks to pay for our electricity bill? Because if so, thanks, but also, what the fuck?
In which, Mike Wheeler thinks he knows everything about his roommate and childhood best friend, Will. He knows Will likes his coffee black, hates the texture of anything remotely slimy, and is surprisingly good at keeping secrets. But when Mike stumbles upon a cam model named 'Lee' who films in a room that looks suspiciously familiar, he realizes he doesn't know Will nearly as well as he thought. And God, does he want to learn.

Summary
It’s been seven years since Will Byers vanished from Hawkins for the second time; seven years since he picked up his life, moved across the globe, and finally settled. He had found himself in a small town outside of Dublin with no desire to be anyplace else. He was happy. Ireland was great — beautiful sights, decent weather, and it was far. So, so far.
But when past feelings bubble from under the surface and start to poison his creative endeavors, he doesn’t think things could get any worse.
Seeing Mike Wheeler at his local grocery store quickly proves him wrong.
OR: Running away and the reunion of a lifetime.

Summary
Mike couldn’t breathe.
The world around them kept moving—street lights flickered, a dog barked somewhere in the distance, and the trees danced in the wind like nothing had changed. But something had changed.
Because Will had said it. Said those words. Said them with his eyes directly meeting Mike’s, his eyes half-lidded, his voice so unguarded that Mike felt something inside him splinter.
"I'm in love with you."
Or where Will accidentally lets a few words slip, spilling his heart, and ultimately changing the direction of his and Mike's relationship forever.
