Summary
Summer 1989. Hawkins is dead, but a drag club three towns over is very much alive._
Will Byers works the door in borrowed heels and finds his voice under stage lights. Robin Buckley kills it as a drag king. Steve Harrington makes a fool of himself in a wig and somehow gets the loudest cheers._
And Mike Wheeler? Mike is eighteen, repressed, and one gay panic away from ruining his life.
It shouldn’t be anything serious.
Just hands under shirts in dark corners, smeared lipstick on collars, and three months of pretending it doesn’t mean anything
“We shouldn’t do this anymore.”
“I know.”
They do it anyway.
Until summer ends. Until the lights come up. Until pretending stops working.Or
Will tries to be a drag queen and Mike drools over him
