    Summary

    "Are you guys dating?" Dustin blurts out. Mike and Will's heads snap to him, shared panicked expressions on their faces.

    "Um, I—we, uh—"

    "Why—why do you think that?" Will chokes out.

    "Well, let's look at the evidence," Lucas holds up his hand and points to a finger when he says each Thing. "You kiss each other all the time, Will's been sitting on your lap every single time we hang out—"

    "Wh—I—It's not every time." Mike argues weakly.

    "We heard you call Will 'baby'," Will squeaks and avoids eye contact when Mike looks over at him. "And now you guys are going to sleep together. In the same bed. And you say it's normal."

    "You gotta see it from our perspective, dude." Dustin adds once Lucas puts his hand down. Mike opens and closes his mouth a few times, looking like a fucking fish out of water. He kinda feels like one, too. Beside him, Will isn't much better. His face is fully red now, and he's just standing there, mouth open, like he'd just been busted for a crime.

    Summary

    There was a buzzing sound, and a beep, before the same words sounded again:

    “—all me back. I miss hearing your voice. I miss you.

    Another buzz, then again: “—still here… anyway, call me back. I miss hearing your voice. I miss you.”

    Joyce realised with a terrible lurch to her heart that Will hadn’t called Mike. He wasn’t finally speaking to him again—it was a cassette tape. A cassette tape of Mike’s voice, a recording from what must’ve been the end of a missed phone call, and he was replaying Mike’s last sentence over and over. I miss hearing your voice. I miss you.

    When Joyce first saw Mike at five years old—a sweet, caring little thing, jumping to Will’s aid without a second thought—she’d never thought it would end up like this.

    Or; Byler from Joyce’s perspective

    Summary

    He doesn’t recall closing his eyes but they’re squeezed so tightly he’s seeing all sorts of colors and patterns, like oil on pavement after the rain, dizzying and dirty. And that’s how he feels when Mike is whispering all this crazy shit into his ear and it’s crazy because it doesn’t make Will feel like shit. It only stokes the electricity under his skin, in his blood, rushing it like a fucking storm, crashing into his gut mercilessly. They shouldn't be doing this. It's not right. This isn’t what friends do— This is wrong, this is mean, it’s so fucking selfish, this—

    “Feels so fucking good, Mike."

    Summary

    “Okay,” Will says, and throws the door open. “Surprise!”

    Mike opens his eyes. Then–

    “Will,” he says, and it comes out a bit strangled. “Is that a puppy?”

    This is a bit of a stupid question. Mike isn’t dumb. He knows what a puppy looks like. The thing in Will’s hands– a little wrinkled and brown and very covered in fur– is definitely a puppy.

    Will brings home a dog. It goes about as well as expected.

    Summary

    Will Byers didn't expect to find a random kid at 10 am in the morning, much less one that keeps calling him "dad" to the amusement of Hopper, Jonathan, and Jane. The worst part? He doesn't know who the other parent is and Mike is NOT helping.
