Summary
Will Byers is minding his own business in the dorm he shares with his best friend, Mike Wheeler, when Mike shows up flustered and asking for help with kissing practice. Will tells himself it’s no big deal. They’re best friends. He can handle it even if he’s loved Mike for as long as he can remember. He’d do anything for Mike even if it means finally being close to him in a way he’s quietly dreamed about for years.
But being close like this is dangerous. One night of practice begins to stir feelings they can no longer ignore. Every touch and glance becomes heavier, every moment between them charged with something that has been waiting too long to be spoken.

Summary
“Oh, come on,” Will says, struggling to keep his voice neutral in a different way. His mouth is dry, and he hates Mike for it even more. “Is this what it’s going to be like this summer?”
Mike looks back at him, considering, lips pursed in an effort to shut down the smirk that Will knows is fighting to break free. Will doesn’t dare to let his gaze catch there, focusing instead on holding Mike’s stare, because this, too, is a game.
Five years into a rivalry with bittersweet origins, the only thing Mike and Will want is to beat each other at this summer’s camp counselor competition. But being back at camp is dredging up old memories, and as Mike and Will lose momentum and gain something else entirely, it becomes increasingly clear that one summer can change everything.
