    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

    "Will," Henry sighs, "I helped destroy the neural lattice of an entire dimension. I’m not solving for X."

    "Wow. So you can annihilate timelines, but Algebra II’s where you draw the line?"

    "Frankly, it’s beneath me."

    "Yeah? You say that, but I bet you don’t even know what a logarithm is."

    Henry’s quiet for a beat. And then—
    "…What is a logarithm?"

    Will laughs under his breath before he can stop it. The kid next to him gives him a weird look. Will pretends to cough and returns to staring at the graph paper like it personally offended him.

    Summary

    It’s the year 2000, and Mike Wheeler has come to Montauk to house-sit, write, and very intentionally not think too hard about his life. Then Will Byers arrives unplanned and, without meaning to, forces Mike to reexamine everything he thought he knew about himself.

    Or

    One week by the ocean where Mike figures out he’s been in love with his best friend for years, and Will is trying very hard to not let old feelings resurface.

    Summary

    Jonathan tries to have a talk with Mike about not playing with Will's feelings. It doesn't go as expected.

    ~
    “Will really cares about you, you know?”

    “I care about him a lot, too,” Mike mutters at the ground.

    “I know,” Jonathan smiles. Of course he knows that. He’s known Mike since the boy was five years old. He’s seen him share his comic books and stand up to bullies and sleep at Will’s side like he could fight off the nightmares with his bare hands.

    “The two of you are just kind of different-”

    “What’s that supposed to mean?” Mike snaps.
