Summary
“How’s school going?” Joyce asks.
“Good. It’s…going good,” Mike replies. She nods and sips her hot chocolate.
“Mrs. Byers.” She looks up at him and Mike feels his heart beat faster. “Why did you make three hot chocolates?”
She takes her time to answer. “I don’t know,” she replies after a while. “It felt like the right thing to do today.”
Today. Today’s weird, Mike thinks.
“It’s March 22nd today.”

Summary
Mike starts trying to show it before he knows how to say it. They come out in small things: coffee made just right, hands that linger, moments that feel heavier than they should.
Will notices all of that. Of course he does.
But noticing isn’t the same as understanding, and the space between them is no longer as simple as it used to be.

Summary
It's 1992, and Mike and Will are juniors in college and living together in a tiny NYC apartment. Life is great. It's everything Mike could ever want: his best friend, an incredible city, and the world at his fingertips. The only problem? He's in love with said best friend and has no idea how he could ever tell him.
Luckily for him, he's presented with an opportunity to get much closer to him every Friday night, as long as he promises not to get all weird after. How hard could that be?
Or: Mike and Will become friends with benefits and the universe laughs because they're both ridiculously in love with each other.

Summary
It's four years later. The Party has just graduated college (those who went and didn't drop out, that is), and Mike Wheeler is living in Chicago, down on his luck, broke, lonely, and has no other choice but to move back home (or does he?). He and everyone else return to Hawkins for Joyce and Hopper's wedding and so goes a rehashing of unprocessed trauma, the introduction of new opportunities, and realizations about himself that Mike is not at all prepared for.
