Summary
After their fallout following their big fight in Cali and not speaking to each other for almost a year, everything was supposed to go back to normal. Well, guess almost normal. They were closer than they have ever been, at least that's how Will felt. Mike was no longer scared of reaching out; he was no longer touching Will. A bump of the elbows, their knees touching each other while they were sitting. Really casual things, but they all mattered (at least to Will). After everything that went down with the upside down, he naively thought everything would go back to the way it was. It was normal for a couple of months- and then everything went to shit. Mike pulled away from not just him but the entire party too. Will didn't know what the reason was at the time (though he still doesn't know the reason to this day, he had his theories), but he tried it, making it hard for Mike to leave. He would reach out to the lanky boy every day, making plans, casually hanging out, that sort of thing. After being denied for almost a year, Will reached out less and less. Well, now they were here. They didn't talk at all for all these years.

Summary
''We could, you know. I don't know; maybe we could practice it? O-only if you wanted to, of course. I don't want to make this weird. It's just, we're in a fucked-up situation, you know. Who knows what will happen, you know. Y-you should have that experience. '' Holy shit.
''I don't know if that's a good idea, Mike. I mean, we're two dudes; wouldn't it be weird for you? And what about El?'' Will regretted everything that he said at that moment. Not only did he ruin the mood by mentioning El, but he also almost outed himself by saying, 'It would be weird for you.' God, he was such an idiot.
''Why would it be weird? And, El and I are not even together in that way anymore. I mean, we talk more than we used to. Still, we haven't had any conversation about our relationship after the whole Cali fiasco. Also, you're a dude; I don't think she would mind. It doesn't even count.''
God, Mike Wheeler was such an asshole. '' I don't know about this, Mike—"
''Will, please.''
Well, when Mike looked at him with those eyes and in a pleading voice, how could Will Byers deny himself access to heaven?

Summary
Despite it all, you love. Despite it all, you are filled with tenderness; it overflows from your hands like water. Your softness should’ve died back then, along with the boy you used to be, but it remained in you.
Will Byers, through grief, hurt, tenderness, and love.

Summary
He looks up at him, eyebrows drawn together. “Do you not love her?”
Mike shrinks back. “What?”
He hadn’t meant to say it. He wouldn’t have, if he’d stopped to think about it for half a second. But it’s too late to take it back, and he can’t breathe until he knows the answer, and he looks at him resolutely and says, “Do you only love her because of what I said?”
Something darkens on Mike’s face, twisting it into a shape Will’s never seen. “Get out.”
It’s not a no.
or: Mike and Will share a room, and Mike finds out the truth about the painting.

Summary
And just like Mike clearly hadn't been thinking when he'd said those words, and how much they would affect Will, he wasn't thinking about him back in the pizza kitchen either. Mike never thought about him at all anymore, his supposed best friend.
"I feel like my life started that night we found you in the woods."
As if, just the night before, Will's own life hadn't begun it's slow, agonizing end when he was taken to the Upside Down.
Just thinking about it made Will's mouth go dry, taste like nothing but cold-rot-ash-despair-death.
a much-needed thing that needs to be addressed on will's behalf, imo. that had to hurt his precious little soul like a bitch.

Summary
The impossible happened: Will asked Mike to be his boyfriend. Even stranger? Mike said yes.
That's how it started. A letter, an accidental confession, a Saturday afternoon. And that? That was the easy part.
Now, what they do - what they are - is secret. Because if anyone finds out... they don't even want to imagine. Lonnie would kill them both on sight. Mike's parents would send him away to some boarding school. They'd never see each other again. They'd be marked forever. Everything would come crashing down around them.
But they try not to focus on that. They're busy, after all, trying to navigate this new relationship. Kisses, dates, prom, couples' quarrels. And in the meantime, Will has a problem on his hands; a power he needs to learn to control, before it blows up in his face.
It's a crazy end to their school year - but there's more going on behind the scenes than they realize.(This is a sequel to The Red Envelope but you don't necessarily have to have read TRE; this can be read on its own should you wish :) )
