Summary
The Party is back in Hawkins for Halloween, and Mike Wheeler is reminded that a thousand miles can’t change one rule he lives by: Will comes first. Always.
Or: In the airless crush of a crowded house, the costumes feel less like a joke and more like bait.
Who’s the prey when neither of them wants to leave?

Summary
Physically separated by college, the party keeps in touch with each other with weekly, carefully scheduled one-on-one phone calls.
One Sunday, Will lets it slip to Mike that he's been having problems with a boy at his school. But unlike the problems Will’s used to– bullying, teasing, distressingly doodled-over newspaper cutouts of articles announcing his own un-death– the problem this time is that the guy likes him. And that he's the childhood best friend of Will’s college best friend. And that he’ll be at said college best friend’s birthday party this Saturday.
Mike volunteers to drive up to Will’s school so he can attend the party and be Will’s meat shield for a night. Now Will has to deal with a very protective (and jealous?) Mike Wheeler, a deeply displeased prospective love interest, and a bed that is absolutely too small for him and Mike to fit into at the end of the night.
