Summary
“So… not him, then,” Mike murmured to himself, thoughtful.
He let his gaze drift back to the blond. The guy was looking towards Will again. Wait, no. He was staring at Mike and Will’s feet, tangled together beneath the table. The boy looked up, caught Mike’s eyes for a fleeting moment, then blinked and looked away, shoulders slumping slightly.
Mike couldn’t help the little surge of smug satisfaction - and relief. He shoved it aside and turned back to Will.
Will smiled across the table at him and squeezed Mike’s ankle again.
“No,” Will said softly. “Not him.”

Summary
Mike Wheeler walks into a gay bar… and it’s not the start of a joke.
It’s the start of learning how to exist without apologizing for it.
Newly out and still kinda terrified of taking up space, Mike is sure everyone will clock him as an intruder the second he steps inside. But instead of judgment, he finds Will Byers. His quiet confidence, the kind that doesn't demand anything, makes Mike feel safe in a way he's never felt before.
One conversation turns into hours. Hours turn into something that feels dangerously like connection. The air between them turns electric, charged with something neither of them names.
Nothing happens.
But everything changes.

Summary
"They were satellites in unstable orbit, trying desperately not to collide while being pulled toward each other anyway."
Will Byers thought he'd buried his feelings for Mike Wheeler somewhere between Hawkins and Chicago. Then Mike walks into his life again, and eight years of distance collapse into nothing.
What starts as a forbidden attraction becomes something neither of them can name - desperate encounters, painful misunderstandings, emotional manipulation, and Mike's inability to reconcile who he is.
When Mike finally stops running, he might just be too late.
