Summary
Mike and Will are college roommates, and what starts as a stupid, half-baked joke during a hazy group hangout turns into something much more complicated. Mike and Lucas make a bet on No Nut November, and Mike is convinced it’ll be easy. That is, until the very next night, when he overhears Will masturbating in his room. Suddenly the bet doesn’t feel so simple. As the days drag on, the tension builds, and Mike finds himself unraveling in ways he didn’t expect, forced to confront the uncomfortable possibility that maybe he wasn’t as straight as he thought.

Summary
Mike Wheeler spends years trying to be “normal.”
Normal son, normal friend, normal boyfriend, normal boy.But growing up with Will Byers — through disappearances, monsters, trauma, high school, and finally college — makes “normal” feel less and less like something he actually wants.
This is the long, messy, painfully slow journey of Mike figuring himself out, losing himself, finding himself again, and realizing that the only thing that ever made sense — the only thing that ever felt right — was Will.

Summary
It's 1992, and Mike and Will are juniors in college and living together in a tiny NYC apartment. Life is great. It's everything Mike could ever want: his best friend, an incredible city, and the world at his fingertips. The only problem? He's in love with said best friend and has no idea how he could ever tell him.
Luckily for him, he's presented with an opportunity to get much closer to him every Friday night, as long as he promises not to get all weird after. How hard could that be?
Or: Mike and Will become friends with benefits and the universe laughs because they're both ridiculously in love with each other.
