Summary
After everything that they had been through together, Will Byers is sure one thing remains unchanged: his feelings for Mike Wheeler are one-sided. Though he's living in the Wheelers' basement, he tries his best to get over Mike and fully accept himself with the help of Robin Buckley. Mike, meanwhile, is struggling with emotions he doesn't yet understand and a twisting feeling in his stomach at the thought of Will and Robin getting close so quickly. Misunderstandings grow, jealousy simmers, and buried feelings refuse to stay quiet as the boys figure themselves out.

Summary
“You’re back,” Mike states as his wide eyes catch Will’s.
Will just tilts his head at him as he takes his seat. “Yeah, I said I would be.”
“Right, obviously,” Mike mutters before stabbing his chicken sandwich with his toothpick.
“What?” Will asks despite every inkling in his body telling him to drop this conversation and just pick up his burger. “Did you think I was just going to leave?”
“No, I-”
“Because I wouldn’t just…” Will cuts himself off before he can finish and looks down at his plate instead, the unsaid words resting bitter on his tongue. I wouldn’t just leave with no explanation. Not like you did.
----------After everything they've been through, it is Mike who rips off the final band-aid of their friendship. Years pass of Will pretending like he never thinks about Mike at all. Years pass of him forging his own life and finally letting go.
But when a young boy shows up at Will's apartment, it becomes clear that he'll never fully be done with Mike Wheeler.

Trapped in a tent with Will, Mike is writing an apology letter that gradually turns into a heartfelt confession as he comes to terms with his true feelings. He has one week to find the right words, or he'll lose the love of his life forever.
Or: after s5, Mike Wheeler writes a love confession he’s absolutely not ready for.
