Summary
But it wasn’t a monster that came out of the trees. It was a person. A boy.
Mike froze.
Then he was spotted, and the boy stopped in his tracks; with skillful movements, he quickly slung the rifle off his shoulder and pointed it at Mike’s chest. Mike raised his hands while trying to keep most of his weight on his left leg.
“Whoa. Hey,” Mike said, his eyes wide as he stared at the tip of the rifle. “Just hold on. I’m not—I’m not going to hurt you.”
Or: A crawl gone wrong left Mike stranded in the Upside Down. Hurt and alone, Mike stumbles upon someone everyone told him was dead.

Summary
“Do you think,” Will whispers, his voice so low that it is barely audible in the little space carved between them, “it's going to last?”
Mike frowns. “What?”
“The pain of loving you.”
The words land between them like shattered glass. Mike stops breathing, his eyes taking on a haunted look. For a moment he looks like he might speak —his mouth even opens slightly— but the words never come.
Drunk out of his mind at Stacey’s party, Will is forced to confront the truth he’s been running from: Mike is not his Tammy. Only this time, Mike is there to deal with the aftermath.

Summary
“Mike?” He asked and felt ashamed for the thought that went through his mind.
“Hmm?”
“Could you–” How would he even ask the question out loud?
“Could I do what?”
Will took in a shaking breath, looked down to Mike’s lips and up to his eyes again. “Mike could you… could you maybe kiss me?” Then suddenly panic moved through him and he turned away. Why did I ask that? Oh god. He will push me away. “I– It wouldn’t mean anything.” He added quickly. “I just– You don’t have to do it. I’m sorry.”
“Oh.” Was Mike’s only answer for a few ever longer stretching seconds. “I mean if you want to.”Defeated from a horrible date, Will is desperate to know what it feels like to be loved. In a hopeless moment he asks Mike to kiss him.

Summary
In the summer of 1989, the Byers family moves to Montauk, cutting short Mike and Will's last summer together before college. Certain he'll never see his friend again, Will confesses his love on their last night together, rocking Mike's world entirely. As the tear-filled goodbyes draw to a close, however, Mike is suddenly offered the unexpected opportunity to travel with the Byers family and help them move.
They have five days out of state together to address Will's confession, learn to communicate, and maybe, just maybe, say a few things they should have said all along.
