    Summary

    Mike thinks it all started the day the Byers moved into their house.

    Having sold their house in Hawkins a year and a half prior and moved to California, when they came back, and the town got put in lockdown, they didn’t have a place to go.

    Mike had kindly offered up their place during dinner.

    Summary

    At twenty, Will Byers has made a quiet decision: he won’t let himself fall in love with Mike Wheeler again. Whatever he felt before was one-sided, unspoken, and painful—and he refuses to relive it.

    Mike, on the other hand, is only just now catching up. Feelings he never named before begin to sharpen into something undeniable, and when Will returns to Hawkins for Christmas break of ’91, Mike finds himself desperately trying to close the distance Will is determined to keep.

    or,

    Mike Wheeler trying his best to "woo" Will Byers.
