Summary
Another fucking dream about Will.
Mike presses the heels of his hands into his eyes until he sees stars.
Three years.
Three goddamn years since graduation, since separate colleges, since everything changed and nothing changed at all.
And still—every night—his traitor brain keeps building Will out of memory and longing until the wanting feels more solid than reality.
He lets his hands fall.
Stares at the ceiling.
Tries to breathe.
Fails.

Summary
The impossible happened: Will asked Mike to be his boyfriend. Even stranger? Mike said yes.
That's how it started. A letter, an accidental confession, a Saturday afternoon. And that? That was the easy part.
Now, what they do - what they are - is secret. Because if anyone finds out... they don't even want to imagine. Lonnie would kill them both on sight. Mike's parents would send him away to some boarding school. They'd never see each other again. They'd be marked forever. Everything would come crashing down around them.
But they try not to focus on that. They're busy, after all, trying to navigate this new relationship. Kisses, dates, prom, couples' quarrels. And in the meantime, Will has a problem on his hands; a power he needs to learn to control, before it blows up in his face.
It's a crazy end to their school year - but there's more going on behind the scenes than they realize.(This is a sequel to The Red Envelope but you don't necessarily have to have read TRE; this can be read on its own should you wish :) )

Summary
“Come on,” Will tries. Mike keeps his head looking away across the street. Staring right at the Sinclair’s house. His jaw clenches at the sight, even though he sees the house everyday. “Mike, I know you, and you—”
“You don’t know me,” Mike spits. Instinct makes him want to glare at Will, but that means looking at him. “And I have nothing to say to you.”
He stands up. It’s only then that Will does the same.
“Look, Mike, I’m sorry,” Will blurts out. It makes Mike’s heart skip a beat in his chest before his heart remembers that it has no business doing that over Will Byers.
Or,
April 1993 in Hawkins means that Mike has to confront a lot more than just the death of Ted Wheeler.

Summary
At first, Mike was unsure how to approach him when he got like this. But they’ve been living together for months now, never further than five feet apart in their dorm beds, so Mike’s learned what works and what doesn’t.
It works when he wakes Will like this, with gentle hands and words, telling him he’s safe. It works when he climbs into Will’s warm bed, turning him on his side and curling up against his back, an arm over his waist and his cheek pressed against his shoulder. They lie together like that until Will’s hiccupping gasps soften into steady breaths, until Mike feels him go limp in his arms and he knows he’s fallen back asleep. It always works.
or: Will has nightmares and Mike is the only one who can console him. Not even Will's boyfriend can. Mike takes great pride in this fact.
