Summary
With no name and no future, Will Byers takes a job at the isolated Wheeler Manor, hired to tutor the family’s youngest daughter. He expects a quiet life in a house of stone and silver—completely oblivious to the fact that his education isn't the reason he was brought there.
But the North Wing is breathing.
There is a secret behind the door, something the family has kept starving for a century. Will was told to stay away from it, but in the dead of night, the house begins to whisper. And Will is the only one who knows how to listen.

Summary
“Just saying, if you’re taking another hit, you should share it with me,” Mike says, and Will slowly tilts his head, drinking in every word. “It just makes sense. Like, mathematically.”
Will’s reddened eyes narrow, bewildered. “Mathematically?”
“If there’s two hits left, we’d each only get one,” Mike explains. “But if we shotgunned, we’d both get two.” God, this is the best idea he’s had in ages. He should’ve stolen Will’s weed, like, months ago. “That’s like, bang for your buck. This is simple math, Will Byers. Keep up.”
In which it’s well past midnight in New York, Will can’t sleep, and Mike feels like they barely know each other anymore.
So, they get a little high. Mike is very normal about all of it.

Summary
But it wasn’t a monster that came out of the trees. It was a person. A boy.
Mike froze.
Then he was spotted, and the boy stopped in his tracks; with skillful movements, he quickly slung the rifle off his shoulder and pointed it at Mike’s chest. Mike raised his hands while trying to keep most of his weight on his left leg.
“Whoa. Hey,” Mike said, his eyes wide as he stared at the tip of the rifle. “Just hold on. I’m not—I’m not going to hurt you.”
Or: A crawl gone wrong left Mike stranded in the Upside Down. Hurt and alone, Mike stumbles upon someone everyone told him was dead.
Will Byers was never found Au

Summary
“Nah, man,” Lucas shakes his head, leaning back as he snacks on an apple, “he got, like, buff. Do you see his arms?”
Mike does, in fact, see Will’s arms. He has not stopped seeing his arms.
“She definitely sees his arms,” Dustin very unhelpfully points out, waggling his eyebrows, and Mike gets the overwhelming urge to bash his own head in.While volunteering at the Hawkins' help center, it seems like every girl around has a newfound interest in Will Byers, and Mike doesn't know why he feels the way he does.

Summary
Mike, who, for some reason, was staring at Will with a small frown, and then, without any sort of warning, said, “wait, you still like me though, right?”
Will blinked.
Dustin choked on his soda while El immediately started smacking his back with a worried look on her face. Lucas’ eyebrows were so high on his forehead that they looked like they would launch right off, and Max squinted so hard that there was a deep crease in the bridge of her nose.
“What?” Will finally said.
Mike huffed like he did whenever he was annoyed. “I mean, it just - you keep talking about Lucas’ arms - “
“Lucas’ arms?” Both Will and Max repeated.
***
After Will's confession, he kind of figured things would go back to normal, and for the most part, it has.
He just wants to know why the hell Mike keeps talking about Will's crush on him.
