Summary
What happens when a beautiful boy radiates divinity like God never could? When the sound of his voice alone could make one fall to their knees in prayer? When he is so pure, so holy, so utterly angelic that he must have come from the Heavens themselves?
Or:
Mike Wheeler is an atheist in a family of good Christians. Will Byers is the son of a preacher who just moved to Hawkins from California. Mike discovers that going to church might not be all that bad.

Summary
“Do you want to go home?” He questions, leaning close and voice soft, and Will pauses, before nodding again. Mike lets out a breath, and lets his hand press against Will a little more firmly when he starts to sway in place again. “Okay, let’s go.”
Then he looks up and is met with smug faces, and Mike flushes when he realizes his own hypocrisy.
“I don’t talk like that,” Max recalls, voice high-pitched and overly girly and – Mike definitely doesn’t talk like that.
According to everyone in his life, Mike has a voice reserved just for Will. He tries to figure out what that says about him.

Summary
Will’s hand lifted as though he might reach, eyes suddenly bright with unshed tears. “You think I haven’t tried to hate you?!”
That stopped Mike from saying the thing on the edge of his tongue, the thing they both knew very well here in this hospital room.
Will’s voice rose. “You think I haven’t tried? Every time you act like this, like you don’t even like me at all! Like, we haven’t been friends for almost our whole lives! When you throw me away! You don’t get to decide how I feel, Mike. You don’t get to make me the villain in whatever story you’ve made up in your head!”
Mike stared at him, jaw tight, throat constricted. He didn’t know what to say—only that whatever he managed would probably be inadequate.
Will was trembling, fists clenched at his sides. “I’ve spent years trying. You didn’t care. After what you did, I tried to convince myself our entire friendship was fake! And you know what? It didn’t work! Because I do care. I’ve cared my entire fucking life. And that doesn’t just stop, no matter what. I can’t hate you, no matter what you do.”
Mike’s throat felt like hot glass.
