Summary
It’s the summer of 1989, and college is three months away. Mike and Will have been dating for six months—a secret kept behind closed basement doors and in the quiet spaces between D&D rolls. But "making out" isn't enough anymore, and Mike is vibrating out of his skin with a mix of love, nerves, and a very specific kind of frustration.
When Will manages to clear the Byers-Hopper house for a single Thursday, Mike decides he’s going to be prepared.
What follows is a forty-eight-hour gauntlet involving a very suspicious pharmacy trip, three different flavors of lubricant, a run-in with Steve Harrington that Mike will never live down, and a basement floorboard hiding a secret that Dustin Henderson almost sits on.
But when Thursday at noon finally rolls around, and Mike finds Will waiting in his bedroom wearing nothing but Mike's old sweatshirt.
