Summary
Robin Buckley is going insane.
She’s sat on the couch with Nancy Wheeler stood behind her carefully cutting away chunks of black hair from her singed scalp where she’d nearly lit herself on fire. In her defence, holding the flame thrower was Steve’s job, but Mr Hair had been nursing a dislocated shoulder for the last couple weeks, and Robin was nominated to pick up on his sloppy seconds. The thing was heavy, okay? How could any one expect her, a 120lb mess of gangly limbs and zero hand eye coordination to wield (what felt like at least) 200lbs of pure steel? She’s only partially to blame for her new, frankly horrific, pixie cut.
Surprisingly though, that’s not the reason she’s going insane.
She’s sat on a moth eaten couch in a horrifically serial-killer-esque cabin in the middle of butt fuck nowhere with several generations of people she would’ve turned on her heel and ran from in high school, spending her every waking hour trying to survive the literal apocalypse or devising a plan to kill an alternate dimensional blood thirsty wizard and it has nothing to do with why she is going insane.
It’s the two teenage boys preparing dinner to her left that are the cause.

Summary
Will Byers just wanted his best friend back. But as Mike gets lost in promises and laughter with others, Will feels the summer slipping through his fingers too hot, too bright, as if the world has moved on without him. He tries to pretend he’s still just a kid, still in control. But something is stirring under his skin, whispering in the corners of his mind.
The monster is coming back. And Will starts to wonder if the Upside Down ever truly let him go. And if he really wants it to.Bookmarked by MiwiMarston

Summary
"Is Will your boyfriend?" Holly asks, and Mike immediately chokes on the lettuce in his mouth.
"Wh- what?" he gasps, dropping his fork and swallowing back the salad that suddenly feels like cement in his throat. Holly's looking at him with a strange expression, like she's trying to figure something out.
"Will. Is he your boyfriend?" she repeats, even though Mike very obviously heard her, and the question doesn't feel any less shocking the second time.
"No!" He yelps. "No, why would you think that?"
Holly shrugs, taking another bite of spaghetti like this is a normal conversation and she is not slowly killing him. "Nancy calls him your little boyfriend sometimes, and Mom says he's your person, which basically means the same thing, and you live together and act like a couple and unpack groceries together, and- I don't know. Seems like it could be a thing."
holly visits college roommates mike and will, and has a few important questions for them

Summary
In the end, it doesn’t matter. None of it fucking matters. Because what’s really in control is the tension. This elusive string tied between their chests that’s always changing length. Right now it’s so short and taught and strong that Will can’t imagine resisting it. So really, it was never a matter of if he would. Just when. When will he fold? When will he let go and let himself follow Mike into the water?
He dares to glance down at his knees, where he can see Mike’s fingers peeking out from behind his calves (as if he needed that visual reminder that they’re touching), and then back up to meet Mike’s expectant gaze.
He’s going to do it. He’s such a fucking idiot.
OR
Mike & Will have a long overdue conversation on the way back to Hawkins— by, in, and around a random motel pool.
