Summary
“Woah,” Will whispers to himself incredulously, laughing a little under his breath as he shuffles through the pages of the letter again. He can’t help but admire the smooth, off-white stationery, its pleasant weight in his hands. A serious-looking “MJW” watermark adorns the top of each page, totally at odds with the entertaining missive and its author’s garbled cursive. Will laughs quietly to himself again. What sixteen-year-old boy on earth has monogrammed stationery?
Michael J. Wheeler, apparently. Where did Max find this guy?
Mike Wheeler is insecure, even by normal teenage standards. So when his friend, Max, connects him with her old friend from California, he's surprised by how easily they get along. But as the weeks wear on, their letters grow increasingly personal, and they make plans to embark on a week-long trip, Mike can't let go of one inconvenient, anxiety-inducing thought: What if he wants to be more than friends?

Summary
Mike Wheeler is the only son of the Wheeler family, and another wizard in a long line of pure bloods... Or so everyone thought. Unfortunately, Mike's magical abilities fail to materialise before September 1982, only to finally show up late when everyone around him was starting to think he may be the families' first Squib. Once he eventually makes it to Hogwarts part way through the school year, he finally gets to meet the boy he's been curious about for so long; the youngest Byers' boy, Will.

Summary
Mike and Will are stuck together on patrol under Hopper’s orders and are left aimlessly wandering the woods, hoping they won’t encounter any monster-shaped surprises. Mike’s top priority is to not let Will out of sight, which is no problem for him- yet maybe that is the real problem here. Coupled with his embedded pledge to protect Will, he’s totally successful in making a fool out of himself. But, Will’s not his only audience, not for long anyway…
Our boys get themselves tangled up in a crazy (together) little side quest that’ll ultimately lead to a familiar pair coming to their rescue, with serious deja vu.

Summary
“Jesus Christ,” Mike mutters. “Where the hell did you come from?”
“I’ve been here all night, Wheeler,” Murray replies, sipping what Mike is sure is one of the liquors his parents hide in his father’s office.
“Really?” He definitely wasn’t there when he and Will were cleaning the dishes. Was he?
“Yes. I guess you’ve been too distracted flirting with your boyfriend to notice.”
Mike’s heart jumps to his throat as his hands grip the bag so tightly that he almost rips it open
He looks at Murray and sees nothing on his face to indicate what he’s thinking, and realises he’s probably not thinking at all if he thought saying those words was the right thing to do.
“We’re not-what?!”or
An unexpected talk with Murray leaves Mike to ponder over the earth-shattering feelings he has for Will.

When they finally reunite, all Will has left to offer him is a painting that wasn't even his idea, and as the world ends and the final fight for Hawkins begins, Mike has to figure out how to salvage the most important relationship of his life – because that may very well be key to saving his hometown and the people he loves.

Summary
“D’you ever consider I did it on purpose? I am a bit of an attention-seeker, you know.” Perhaps Mike is drunker than Will initially thought.
“What?”
“How else could I get the chance to talk to you alone?” Will feels like the air was just knocked out of him. Of course Mike is joking, but there’s a hint of truth to the statement. He was looking for ways to get Will alone. Will isn’t sure whether this information excites him or terrifies him.
“You’re nutty,” Will says, physically shaking the worries from his head.
“Maybe so,” Mike says, “but it worked.”

Summary
The party decides to get drunk and Mike takes it too far. With tension between him and Will, awkwardness with Eleven, and a terrible secret, the night just keeps getting worse and worse for Mike until eventually, he can no longer take the truth.
---
Will's eyes grow wide and now he really looks like he's on the verge of a panic attack. "What do you mean? I kissed Amanda." Again he bites his lip and Mike's frustration grows.
Mike knows he should stop but there seems to be a disconnect between his mind and his mouth. "Stop lying Will. I don't even know any of your Californian friends. I don't even understand why you would lie about the name. Did you kiss a boy or something?" Mike rolls his eyes. It really was a ridiculous thing to lie about the name of the girl you kissed. Honestly, what was up with Will.
Will's expression breaks, but he turns before Mike can fully see it. Mike can however see the way his body is shaking.
"Are you cold?" Mike asks softly, taking a step forward. "Come back to the basement, I can get you my sweater."
