Summary
He missed her, fuck, he really missed her.
But it did get better, after starting to believe that she was out there, and it got much better after he started writing. He wrote about everything that he remembered, until he worked out exactly what their relationship had really been, what it had really meant.
And suddenly it was the first summer after college, the first summer back in Hawkings, and all the feelings that he'd wanted to put away forever came crashing down like an avalanche, all the love, the friendship, the jealousy, and the memories.Or, The Party comes back to Hawkings for the summer, making it impossible for Mike to keep on ignoring the feeling in his chest when Will walks into a room.

Post S5. Mike comes home for the summer, he writes all his thoughts down reminiscing on his relationship with El and discovers how long he'd had feelings for Will. Very believable Mike. Sexuality struggle

Summary
“It’s been a bad week.”
That’s what Mike tells Nancy when she makes the three hour drive from Boston to New York. She promptly slaps him across the cheek—the only time she’s ever laid a hand on him. If he’s honest, it’s been more than a week. Maybe a month. Maybe since El died. Maybe since he watched Will and El drive away to sunny California, with the flimsy promise of letters and spring breaks. In the relative safety of his own mind, Mike can admit it started when he was left behind by his best friend, experiencing the horror of losing your other half at twelve-years-old.
Or
El is dead, Will is falling in love with someone else, and Mike is depressed, manic, and doesn’t realize how loved he really is.

The Party reconnect at Mike and Will’s apartment in New York City to quickly discover that Mike and Will are two idiots in love who will never admit their feelings without some help from their friends. Alternatively, both Mike and Will have to make sense of what it means to be in love with their best friend and they've never been more terrified in their lives.

**
Why had Noble Synergy hired him? Why had he accepted the offer? The neat six figure salary had certainly played a role in his decision. Were his morals so easily bought? Apparently. Will sighed, fiddling with his suit jacket in agitation. Joyce noticed his nervous fidgeting and discomfort (she always did) and tried to help.
“Just pick a nice assistant. They can help you get settled and get ahead at work and once the lease is up, things will be fine. Go back to normal.”
“Unless you extend the contract. Hell, even buy.” Hopper pointed out, eyes still trained on his phone.
Joyce shot her husband a withering look as Will stared at him, aghast. Hopper glanced up, noticing the tension.
“What? I’m just saying the kid’s gonna be making the money. He could afford to keep one on,” he grumbled, quickly turning his eyes back to the screen of his phone. “I mean, did you see the contract they offered? And that apartment they provided? Not saying he’s gotta keep it, only that he could...”
