    Summary

    Mike Wheeler didn’t plan on falling in love two days after moving to Hawkins.

    He definitely didn’t plan on it happening during late-night drives, under soft music, with gifted rings and the town glowing quietly below them.

    But sometimes love takes the scenic route—and sometimes, it’s saved for special occasions.

    He only meant to catch his train. He didn't expect to catch feelings, too.

    Summary

    “Honey, trust me, you have definitely already described how much you love him,” Maggie says dryly, and Mike just laughs, looking up and meeting her eyes. “Anyone who has met you can tell how much you love your Will.”

    Mike’s eyes crinkle as he smiles. “I like when you call him that,” he says with a soft laugh. “And I guess… I didn’t realize how much I talked about him.”

    Summary

    “You sure about this?” she asked for the third time that week, smoothing invisible wrinkles from Will’s sleeve. “A whole week. She can be handful.”
    “We want to spend time with her,” Will said simply. “It’ll be fun.”

    Summary

    "Is Will your boyfriend?" Holly asks, and Mike immediately chokes on the lettuce in his mouth.

    "Wh- what?" he gasps, dropping his fork and swallowing back the salad that suddenly feels like cement in his throat. Holly's looking at him with a strange expression, like she's trying to figure something out.

    "Will. Is he your boyfriend?" she repeats, even though Mike very obviously heard her, and the question doesn't feel any less shocking the second time.

    "No!" He yelps. "No, why would you think that?"

    Holly shrugs, taking another bite of spaghetti like this is a normal conversation and she is not slowly killing him. "Nancy calls him your little boyfriend sometimes, and Mom says he's your person, which basically means the same thing, and you live together and act like a couple and unpack groceries together, and- I don't know. Seems like it could be a thing."
