Summary
-----
"Is a kiss a possible signal or...start of a...snowball?"
"A kiss isn't a signal nor a snowball." Will frowned immediately, confusion knitting his brows together, his mouth turning down at the corners.
"What is it then?" The question came out quiet, almost afraid of the answer, but needing it desperately anyway.
"An avalanche."

Summary
“Wow,” Will breathes out, just on this edge of teasing. “You sound very confident about this.”
“Well,” Mike shrugs, swallowing hard in a desperate attempt to soothe his very, very dry mouth, “I don’t know why someone wouldn’t be interested in you.”
“Oh?” Will says, and it’s definitely teasing now, enough for Mike to feel himself turning warm, all down his neck and to the tips of his own – sadly unpatterned – socks. “Someone?”
“Yeah.” Mike nods. Oh, god. This is fine. “In a very arbitrary sense of the word. Just– people. Someone.”
Mike is approximately ninety-eight percent sure that his feelings are requited. That last two percent, however, has really been throwing him for a loop.

Summary
Will presses his lips together. “I waited for him before,” he points out in a low voice, fighting the tears that are always lurking somewhere in the back of his throat these days. “I can do it again.”
“I don’t care if you can or not,” El snaps, and Will glances up at her, more shocked than offended by her tone. “I care about what’s good for you.” She takes a deep breath, drumming her fingers against the counter, and her voice is thick when she continues, “You- you’ve always been so eager to torture yourself, Will. Why do you think your own happiness isn’t worth anything?”
In the summer of 1989, Will loses the one thing he's always wanted. Five years later, he gets him back.

Summary
He has to think very carefully before saying his next words. If he doesn’t, he’s worried he might say something like, “yeah, Mike, let’s run away to California together and live happily ever after.”
What he does say is, “That’s not possible, Mike.”
Mike has the gall to look hurt of all things.
OR

Summary
Mike lets out a frustrated groan and knocks his head back against the seat—like Hopper’s the one being cryptic here.
Mike’s voice cracks slightly when he repeats, “He hurt Will.” More urgent this time. More desperate.
“Okay. I get that,” Hopper says slowly. “But it doesn’t explain why—”
Mike cuts him off, sharp. “If Will didn’t tell you, then I’m not telling you.”
-
When Hopper gets a call about that damn Wheeler kid, he's pissed. Until he realizes what exactly he's dealing with.
