    Summary

    He’d stared at Will without really seeing him, so caught up in his own thoughts—a constant, monotonous beat of oh my God, I’m alive. Oh my God, Will has powers. Oh my God, he saved me.

    And then—

    Oh my God, he’s beautiful.

    The thought had stopped him short, had landed with a soft and devastating clarity.

    Beautiful.

    That single word had broken something open within him, something he’d spent years reinforcing with lock and chain and prayer and denial.

    After Will saves Mike from the demogorgon at the MAC-Z, Mike finally lets himself acknowledge a truth he's been running from for years:

    He is in love with Will Byers.

    Now all Mike has to do is come to terms with that truth—especially when Joyce sees it too.

    Summary

    It's hot. Too hot for a night in Hawkins, Indiana, but Mike Wheeler's thoughts are being completely consumed by Will Byers. Specifically, the night on the radio tower with Will.

    Best friends? Are you kidding?

    So, Mike does what any reasonable person would do; bike across town to confess his love to his best friend (and breaks his nose in the process)

    Summary

    “Do you want to go home?” He questions, leaning close and voice soft, and Will pauses, before nodding again. Mike lets out a breath, and lets his hand press against Will a little more firmly when he starts to sway in place again. “Okay, let’s go.”

    Then he looks up and is met with smug faces, and Mike flushes when he realizes his own hypocrisy.

    I don’t talk like that,” Max recalls, voice high-pitched and overly girly and – Mike definitely doesn’t talk like that.

    According to everyone in his life, Mike has a voice reserved just for Will. He tries to figure out what that says about him.
