Summary
"We're going to be talking about this all day if you don't get to the point and just tell me why you were being such a douche to me in Lenora."
"Except it's not as easy as that." Mike tilted his head as he pinched the hem of the vest he'd given to Will, fiddling with it with shaky fingers. "You're not exactly easy to talk to about this. And it's..ugh, it's kind of stupid and weird."
"So, like, nothing new then?"
"Yeah, more or less."
Feeling a little better, Will glanced between Mike's eyes and his lips, nearly keeling over as he couldn't help but whisper breathily, "I want to know, Mike. Whatever it is, whatever..you're scared to tell me, I promise I'll listen."
Walking through a field with Mike, thoughts overtaken and wondering why Mike didn't call him, Will's mind is reeling as he tries to figure it out, and..why oh why didn't he get a letter?
Well, Will has that question answered. And then some.

Summary
In the end, it doesn’t matter. None of it fucking matters. Because what’s really in control is the tension. This elusive string tied between their chests that’s always changing length. Right now it’s so short and taught and strong that Will can’t imagine resisting it. So really, it was never a matter of if he would. Just when. When will he fold? When will he let go and let himself follow Mike into the water?
He dares to glance down at his knees, where he can see Mike’s fingers peeking out from behind his calves (as if he needed that visual reminder that they’re touching), and then back up to meet Mike’s expectant gaze.
He’s going to do it. He’s such a fucking idiot.

Mike & Will have a long overdue conversation on the way back to Hawkins— by, in, and around a random motel pool.

Summary
“Why? Why won’t you ever tell me what’s wrong with you?” Carlton’s voice is filled with frustration, and it sounds like nails on a chalkboard to Will.
What is wrong with him. It’s such a loaded question. Why does Will wake up screaming sometimes? Why can’t Will handle the cold? Why are there days when Carlton’s hands on him feel like being kept under water with no way up?
And why can’t Will tell Carlton the truth? How could Will possibly explain it without sounding insane? What is the human translation for being taken and kept in another dimension, violated, and possessed, only to then be violated yet again—
This part of him is something Will is never going to be able to share with anyone else. That nobody would understand.
Why won’t you tell me what’s wrong with you.
“Because you wouldn’t get it.” Will somehow manages to say it without gagging.
And then, Carlton goes in for the kill.
“Oh, but Mike does?”
OR
After leaving Hawkins to go to college in the great city of San Franscisco, Will finally finds someone who loves him. The only problem is that the only person in the world who knows him, is someone else.

Summary
It's 1987 and Mike is determined to have the best summer possible. It's been over a year since Hawkins split, and Mike and Will have regained their closeness. Mostly. They do dance around topics and they do occasionally stare at one another for a few seconds too long, but nothing could come between them. Or that's what Mike thought, anyways. Everything was fine until Will found the letters.
