Summary
Will wiped his damp eyes with the back of his hand and then looked back at Mike. He said, with a wobble in his voice, “I just don’t want to go. I know it’s stupid, it’s only a month and I’ve done it before, but Jonathan was always there, and now he won’t be. And I’m going to miss you so much. I’m going to miss everyone.”
Or:
Will spends every July at Lonnie’s due to his parents’ custody agreement from their divorce. Fueled by a heartsickness that he doesn’t quite have a name for yet, Mike does his best to make things better.

Summary
Will Byers is in his bedroom. It is 10:34am. He is going to take a shower. He is not in the Upside Down. He is not possessed.
He tells himself these things like a mantra, as though they will bring back some semblance of sanity. His chest hurts. His lungs still do not work. He is used to it. It still hurts.
or: Will has a bad day, and Mike is a good friend.

Summary
When all is said and done, days later, when Hawkins is condemned and quarantined and the town evacuated, Wheelers and Byers divided between four motel rooms in the nearest town with any vacancies after the mass exodus from Hawkins—it’s just Mike and the painting.

Summary
Mike breathes out sharply, sinking to his knees in front of Will without conscious thought. Every bone in his body is turning to jelly, because Will is here, but he's also- not. His form is made up of the same dusty gold that fills the air around him, flaking off him and dancing around. Mike wants to reach out and catch the light in his palm. Will looks not entirely solid, like this is some poor imitation of him rendered in light particles, like his physical form is somewhere else, and for a horrible moment Mike thinks that Will is a ghost after all. That this is an illusion, brought about by Mike's hopeless yearning. If it weren't for the pebbles digging sharply into his legs as he knees on the ground and the crisp chill of the spring air on his face, Mike would be sure he was dreaming, but he doesn't think he could dream up something so simultaneously as magical and horrifying as the specter of his maybe-dead friend hovering before him.
"Will," he whispers, reaching out until his fingers are centimeters from Will's arm, and Will's eyes fly open.
on march 29th, 1986, will byers vanishes for a second time. 366 days later, he reappears.

Summary
Mike kicks his feet into the space in front of them, as he looks down at the ground. There was a time, a year ago now, where Mike’s first thought would be dangerous, something that could get him institutionalized if anyone knew. Now, he’s mostly contemplating how it would be if he takes Will’s hand again, links their fingers together, traces the back of Will’s knuckles, and slowly pours each of his feelings out into the open.
(Or, It's summer of 1989 and Mike Wheeler learns that he's allowed to be happy.)
