    Summary

    What's worse: being tormented by violent visions from Vecna or suffering from the mixed signals of Mike Wheeler? Depends on the day for Will Byers. Flashbacks of shared touches from last summer and the impending doom about the night to come have Will's head spinning as the party enter the Upside Down to enact Operation Beanstalk.

    Meanwhile, Mike Wheeler navigates his anxiety about the hellscape he's in and crashes out over the thought that Will had a crush on him and has since moved on.

    OR

    Mike walks over next to him, reaching out his hand next to Will’s, enhancing the bulb’s flickering into a steady pulse. Their fingers brush, and the sensation sends a buzz of nerves up Will’s arm. Will lets himself savor it, thinking of Robin’s words. Signals.

    I’m going to die anyway, he thinks, letting himself keep his arm outstretched a few moments more. He isn’t looking at the lamp anymore though; Mike bends over, inches away, and Will’s gaze is the ocean tides to the moon in Mike’s eyes. Will tucks the stolen glance away, safe in the vault where he’s kept moments like this over the years and follows Mike’s gaze towards where his is fixated.

    Summary

    “I can show you the real thing, if you want me to.”
    “What?”
    “We could practice. I mean, actually kissing. I wouldn’t mind.”

    Or Will is getting ready for a date and looks defeated, before it even started. Helping him practice might be just the thing to help Mike make sense of his own confusing feelings.

    Summary

    “What I just— the conversation I just had, Mike, it sucked.” Will shakes his head, eyes blistering. “And so I don’t need this, right now, okay? I don’t need you interrogating me, or worrying about my safety or—”

    “Will.”

    “Can we just go?"

    “Before that. Please,” Mike says. “Tammy. Is…”

    He hears his own breath in the space between them.

    “Is it me?”

    There's a little time before the apocalypse. Mike and Will hash things out.

    Summary

    Lucas looks a little hurt. "But you could have told us it happened?"

    Will resists the urge to bang his head on the table. Probably wouldn't help his case.

    "I mean, I couldn’t really— it was—" He looks at Mike, gives a tiny shrug and a head shake, something subtle enough to be not picked up on by the rest, hopefully. A hail-Mike. A please find a way to help me out of this lie.

    And Mike Wheeler, he does know how to answer a call.

    "It was me," Mike says.

    Will gets caught up in a lie about not being a virgin. Mike decides to help out. This surely will not spiral.

    Summary

    “We’re dating,” Mike says, and it takes every ounce of composure Will has not to choke on his next lungful of crisp, spring air.

    The girl guarding the door to the party glances at their clasped hands, then back at Mike. “You’re…”

    “Yup,” Mike cuts her off flatly, as if daring her to say anything else.

    “Mike…” Will says his name under his breath, but he still says it like a warning.

    “We don’t like to be so public about it but, well.” Mike lifts their clasped hands, shaking them at the door girl like they’re one giant fist. “You drive a hard bargain.”

    Will raises his voice. “Michael.”

    Mike turns to roll his eyes at him. “William, baby,” he scoffs, squeezing Will’s hand in his. “It's Valentine’s Day. Don’t be such a buzzkill.”
