    Summary

    Mike Wheeler has a simple plan: survive thirty days at Camp Lyre and prove—once and for all—that he is a perfectly normal, perfectly straight best friend.
    But denial is hard when Will Byers looks like a masterpiece Mike isn’t allowed to touch—all messy hair, honey-tanned skin, and a laugh that makes Mike’s heart do a desperate, tactical retreat.

    Between picking silent wars with anyone who looks at Will too long and using the hazy, alcohol-blurred hours of the night to inch closer than a (straight)best friend ever should, Mike is losing a battle he never declared.

    Or: Mike Wheeler is a counselor with his best friends while he’s stuck watching Will fall in love with everything at Camp Lyre—except him.

    Summary

    "Woah," Mike breathed. His eyes widened as they landed on Will's flushed face. "Your cheeks are really red, dude." He reached forward, setting the box on the counter next to a bowl and a carton of eggs.

    Will tried to pretend like he wasn't dying on the inside. "Hot," he managed, voice higher than its usual pitch. His eyes betrayed him as he looked up and down Mike's half-naked form. His jaw tightened as he forcefully snapped his eyes back up and away from Mike’s waist. "Hot in here, I mean. Not you.” Jesus Christ, Will, focus, he told himself. This was the moment he decided he was officially suffering. This was a hostage situation and Mike was torturing him with his stunning physique.

    “What, you don't think I look hot?” Mike teased, gesturing to himself, as if he couldn't make it any worse.

    Is he doing this on purpose? Does he think this is funny? Does he know the way my guts start doing acrobatics inside of me when he’s around? Or, is he completely oblivious?

    Will couldn't decide which was worse.

    Summary

    Mike puts the car into park, but doesn’t tear his gaze away from the windshield. “Say it.”

    Will splutters. “Say what?”

    “Like we’re what, Will? Say it. Why do I make your boyfriend so nervous?”

    “You’re being a jerk.” He looks down and picks at a loose thread on his sweater.

    Mike is being a jerk, but he’s just tired. And Will is here in Mike’s car in the middle of nowhere, protected by the growing darkness of the evening, and goddamnit, Mike wants to hear him say it. He wants to hear Will say Mike isn’t better.

     

    Or: Mike and Will have been Mike and Will for sixteen years. Mike is not going to Will let someone else ruin that.
