Summary
“Shit, shit,” Will scrambles to the floor-length mirror he’d found propped up on a dumpster at the end of his Freshman year. He pulled at his sweater and fluffed his hair. “Coming!”
He trips over his feet rushing to get to the door, before freezing to glance at the tiny apartment. His sketchbooks are everywhere, his bed is unmade, and he hasn’t scooped Bowie’s litter box today. There isn’t time to do anything about it now.
Taking a calming breath in, he yanks open the door.
There, in his doorway with a giant goofy grin, stands Michael Wheeler.
-or
Will is settling in Chicago, finishing up school, and dating. Mike is a college dropout on his 10th manuscript rejection with nothing to look forward to but Will's visits home. When Will cancels at the last minute, Mike impulsively shows up at his door. They adjust to old comforts and new discomforts, struggling to agree on what they are to each other.

Summary
Two months of long-distance has turned Mike and Will’s letters into a lifeline. But when Jane accidentally mails a letter containing Will’s private fantasies, the distance between Hawkins and Lenora officially catches fire.
What follows is an escalation of provocative Polaroids, a "ruined" letter, and an oversized Hellfire shirt that smells like home. Across a 1,500-mile phone line, the metaphors of "cleric and paladin" are finally stripped away, replaced by raw hunger and a promise: when Mike gets to California, he’s going to mark every inch of Will's skin.

Summary
“A game? Now? Here? What game?”
“It’s called... Truth or Switch. The rules are simple: the one giving the massage asks the questions. The other has to answer honestly. And if they don't want to answer, we switch!”
“Switch?”
“Yeah. We swap places. You massage me instead.”
“Mike... did you just make up this game?”
“Yeah. Genius, right?”
Will smiled, and the tension finally seemed to ease. Mike felt a surge of pride in his idea, even if he didn't quite know what he was getting himself into.
Or:
What begins as a way to ease Mike’s insomnia through massages soon spirals into something far more intense — something neither of them really controls.
As comfort turns into obsession and the rules they set for themselves start to break, Mike is ready to burn everything down for him, never realizing that Will is the one stoking the fire.
————
This is a slow burn with sexual tension, LOTS of massages, a not-so-secret relationship, some sex games, and plenty of Mike fighting for Will and against his own demons...- Language:

Summary
"I'm so hungry I could eat Will Byers." Jane bursts into a fit of giggles. Mike's heart drops.
"What?" His mouth feels dry. His hands are sweating. He can feel a flush creeping up his neck.
Jane repeats her words between cackles and wheezes, "I said... I'm so hungry... I could eat... Will Byers!"
All of the kids are laughing now, some big inside joke that Mike is the butt of. He feels sick. He feels something he can't place.
"How do you know that name?" He asks, the words catching in his throat like bile.
