    Summary

    In the summer of 1989, the Byers family moves to Montauk, cutting short Mike and Will's last summer together before college. Certain he'll never see his friend again, Will confesses his love on their last night together, rocking Mike's world entirely. As the tear-filled goodbyes draw to a close, however, Mike is suddenly offered the unexpected opportunity to travel with the Byers family and help them move.

    They have five days out of state together to address Will's confession, learn to communicate, and maybe, just maybe, say a few things they should have said all along.

    Summary

    В Хоукинсе зима, и Майк с Уиллом больше не общаются. Живя в доме Майка, Уилл старается быть незаметным, проводя большую часть времени в подвале. Затем отключается электричество, и, если и есть что-то, чего Уилл опасается больше, чем столкновения с Майком, так это холод.

    Или: Семь ночей, в течение которых Майку и Уиллу приходится спать в одной постели, хотя их уже едва ли можно назвать друзьями.

    Summary

    “Mike, you're not in love with me.”

    The look he gets back is somewhere between frustrated and sad, and Will holds out a hand before Mike can protest further. “No, Mike, trust me. It isn’t love, it’s jealousy."

    “That’s the same—”

    “Not romantically. You're just, you're jealous that I have someone else in my life. You're jealous that I'm not pining over you anymore, you're jealous that there is someone out there who can compete with you for how much I care about him.” Because this is true. It is obvious. And Will is right and that will be have to be enough. “And it's sweet. I'm — It makes me happy, to know you care that much, that you want me in your life so badly.

    "But you don't love me, Mike. You just don't."

    -

    Mike visits Will in college with a confession. It isn't taken very well.

    Summary

    Dustin reaches the explosive pack, and lights it. The colors go up into the sky, flashes of bright green and white and pale purple against the encroaching, dark, red-and-black sky. A beacon of hope. A promise of tomorrow.

    Will watches the fireworks go off, the sparks raining down on a world that ended for him years and years ago.

    The night before the end of the world, Mike and Will find a way to meet in the middle.

    Summary

    A fat raindrop splashes on Mike’s cheek, slips down his face and down his chin; falls on his neck to disappear inside his damp shirt. Leaves behind the scorching trail of Will’s gaze on his skin.

    Mike tightens his grip on the soda cans when Will’s adam’s apple bobs up and down, considers closing his eyes and tipping his head back, let the tepid rain speck his face, soak him to the bone.

    A kiss in the rain would be romantic, right? Date appropriate.

    “You should get back in the car.”

     

    or; Michael Wheeler and the mortifying ordeal of being in a car with a beautiful boy.
