    Summary

    “Will Byers?”

    Will glances around, as if there is another Will Byers in their vicinity. He manages a small smile. “Yeah, it’s- uh. It’s me.”

    Mike rushes forward, and all he can think is holy shit, Will is alive, as he’s throwing his arms around the other boy and tugging him in for a crushing hug. It isn’t until Will is secure, nestled–maybe a bit stiffly–in his arms, that Mike starts crying.

    “I thought you were dead,” Mike murmurs, muffled by Will’s jacket. He sniffles. “I thought- we- they told us you were dead.”

    Or, Will was never found in S1, but survives in the Upside Down until 1987 due to his powers and connection with Vecna. Cue Mike, an ill-timed trip to the Upside Down, and a lot of feelings.

    Summary

    One of Max’s hands returns dutifully to his back, the movement a direct contrast to what comes out of her mouth.

    “You were, like, a really shitty boyfriend.”

    “Holy shit, Max,” he mumbles, because nobody is allowed to say stuff like this to him anymore. Not even her. It’s some unspoken rule the party developed traitorously behind his back. “How drunk are you?”

    Mike and Max get drunk at Stacey Albright's party and have a heart-to-heart on the bathroom floor.

    Summary

    “Are you having a fucking episode right now?” Max says, furrowing her brows. She doesn’t understand and Mike doesn’t know how to make her. He can’t say it out loud, not in full.

    “I didn’t love her because she wasn’t who I wanted her to be.” He admits in a rush of words. 'Because she wasn't Will' goes unsaid.

    Summary

    “Max, I just wanted to—This is so random but I felt—I’m sorry.”

    Well, that was not what Max was asking for but she’ll take it. Another new addition to Mike Wheeler—him apologising!

    “What are you sorry for? Your awful driving?” Her face cracks into a wide smile and she doubles over laughing. She really did find herself hilarious. Max realises quickly that she’s the only person in the vehicle cracking up, “oh you’re serious?”

    or

    Mike offers to drive Max to her routine hospital appointments after the whole 'end of the world' situation. Usually they just bicker and talk about Will, but today's car ride was different—Mike decides to unburden himself.

    A heart to heart ensues.
