Summary
From the day he was born, Mike Wheeler has been a disappointment.
Everyone in Hawkins knows how things are supposed to work. Alphas lead, omegas follow, and people grow into the roles they're meant to fill. Mike is expected to present alpha, just like his father. Will Byers is expected to present omega, just like everyone assumes.
But expectations have a funny way of being wrong.
When Will presents alpha, Mike begins to realize that the rules everyone built their lives around might not be nearly as reliable as they think.

Summary
Mike looks in the mirror again, studying the thin, lanky figure in the reflection — no soft curves or shapes, just sharp angles and jutting bones. His chiseled, narrow face, not at all delicate in the conventional sense, looks tired. His deep black eyes stare back at him with disgust.
How is this supposed to be an omega's body?
After the Byers temporarily move in with the Wheelers, Mike finds out he will never be an alpha, like everyone initially believed.
Obviously, he decides to hide it.

Summary
Will used to know how to create things. Now, at thirty-three, everything feels stuck.
His studio hasn’t been touched in years. His body no longer follows the timelines it once promised. The life he spent a decade building ended in a way he still doesn’t quite know how to recover from.
He tells himself he has time. It doesn’t feel true—but it’s easier than thinking the alternative.
He doesn’t expect anything to change. He definitely doesn’t expect someone to walk into his life and change it.
Especially not someone younger— someone who looks at him with something dangerously close to adoration.
