    Summary

    “How’s school going?” Joyce asks.
    “Good. It’s…going good,” Mike replies. She nods and sips her hot chocolate.
    “Mrs. Byers.” She looks up at him and Mike feels his heart beat faster. “Why did you make three hot chocolates?”
    She takes her time to answer. “I don’t know,” she replies after a while. “It felt like the right thing to do today.”
    Today. Today’s weird, Mike thinks.
    “It’s March 22nd today.”
    “I know.”

    Summary

    “Will, can I ask you something?” Mike speaks up, more assured this time. “Yes,” Will replies softly, waiting. There's only the sound of silence for a long moment.
    “Do you remember the painting that you gave to me last year?” He finally asks and Will's heart drops into his stomach instantly. Sitting up straight, he turns to face Mike who stares at him with furrowed eyebrows, his lips pressed into a thin, contemplating line. “The one you gave me in the van when we were looking for El?”

    Will nods. “Yes, I remember.” Mike swallows, turning so he’s facing him straight on. “I was just thinking. Thinking about what you said and about, well about everything and I just need to know for sure if, if—” he stops there, biting at his cheek. His eyes don't leave Wills, not once.

    “If what?” Will asks and he feels terrified, that day rushing back to him like an uncontrollable wave of burning hot water. Lies, misunderstood words, false confessions. Mike’s lips part ever so slightly and then they close, his eyes flickering back and forth between Wills, searching for something he doesn't fully understand. “If what you told me was the truth,” he finally asks, his words a whisper in the darkness of the basement. The truth.

    Summary

    A year after the events of Season 5, Mike publishes his first book titled “He Loved Me”. Will goes to a small bookshop in New York to watch his friend’s band play a show, and stumbles across the book in a discount bin. The discounted copy has a severely damaged cover. He doesn’t see who wrote it until he finishes the book.

    Inside the book, Mike writes about two friends. To an outsider, it would appear to be a heartwarming story focused on an inseparable pair who grow up together, later admitting their romantic love for one another. It is a tale that emphasizes the importance of making the hard choice, and dealing with the fallout rather than taking the easy way out.
    But to Will, it is all that and more. An unspoken confession.
