    Summary

    "That day, when you told us about how you don't like girls. You mentioned a crush, someone who didn't like you back…"

    A punched out breath escaped Will. "I didn't think you would ever bring it up, honestly. For the longest time, I wasn't even sure you knew."

    "I didn't. I just never- I don't understand.. why me? After everything that happened, why would it be me?" Mike felt like he was being wheeled into surgery, laid bare on the table for everyone to see the mess that was his heart.

    "What? Mike, how could it not be you?" Will let out a disbelieving laugh. "Mike, it was always you. It had always been you back then."

    Back then. Late again.

    "But not anymore?"

    Mike Wheeler gets drunk and confessions ensue.

    Summary

    At midnight on everyone's sixteenth birthday, they receive a connection of some kind with their soulmate. Some are connected by strings. Some have contact marks, a shadow of the first time their soulmate touches them. For some, the first words their soulmate says to them appears on their skin. Some find objects that their soulmate has misplaced.

    On the night of Will Byers' sixteenth birthday, he hears a little voice in his head. But whom does the voice belong to? Will he ever get to meet the mysterious "Gabriel"?

    Summary

    “Hey, Will?” Mike whispers, after another swig of the wine goes down his throat in a somewhat painful gulp.

    “Yeah?” Will says, and he reaches for the bottle, a bit greedy and maybe a bit desperate. He, too, takes another drink; though, judging by the look on his face, he doesn’t enjoy it.

    “Do you think we’ll ever meet our soulmates?” Mike wonders aloud.

    Or:

    Mike wakes up on his sixteenth birthday with a single word etched onto his left wrist.

    Yes.

    It's the first word his soulmate will ever say to him.

    Summary

    He looks so young, even though there’s barely a year between them; time just hasn’t left such a big mark on him: his cheeks are soft, his skin is clean, as clean as a teenager’s can be, healthy-looking, even rosy. It’s impossible not to look at him, but the longer Mike watches, the more he just wants to finally embrace his Will, the other one. He starts to doubt his decision to move here, overwhelmed by fear.
