Summary
Winter, New York City, 1992.
Mike Wheeler has always been late. Chronically so. Late to school, late to work, late to realize just how head over heels he was and is for his best friend, Will Byers. During Winter break, Mike visits Will in NYC, excited not only to explore the big city but to explore Will’s version of it. He finds Will brighter, more social, less repressed, and he seems happy with his new boyfriend, Carlton, but things aren’t what they appear.The two explore Will’s new life, while Mike battles nostalgia, his heart’s heavy yearning, and his own morals. If Will is happy, that’s all that matters- or at least that’s what he tells himself. The more time they spend, the more the lines seem to blur, and it becomes harder to ignore the feelings between them that maybe never really went away.

Summary
Today was March 22.
It was Will Byers’s birthday.Hopper and his mom had left earlier, saying they had things to take care of.
Lucas, Mike, Jane, and Max were out—apparently on a double date.
Jonathan was somewhere with Nancy.
Robin was with her new girlfriend.
Dustin said he and Steve had plans.But Will was sure—absolutely sure—that everyone was planning something for him.
Because his family had never forgotten. Not once.
Because his closest friends had never missed his birthday, not since they were kids.
Even Steve had never forgotten.Hours passed.
Will stayed on the couch, phone resting in his hand, waiting for a message.
Waiting for a call.
Waiting for the front door to burst open, for someone to yell surprise,
or for someone to text him to come outside.Nothing.
Still nothing.
Eventually, Will fell asleep.
His phone never rang.
