Summary
Hargrove tells him about his soul mark. "That shit really does show up when you need it, man.
"I was about to step off the fucking chair, just take myself out, when I felt it." He doesn't seem to care at all that Steve can't figure out how to work his tongue.
"And then, like, fuck, man, you can't die not knowing what your soul mark says, so I got down and looked and laughed so hard I almost broke a fucking rib."
"I was starving when I got mine," Steve says. And he doesn't mean to. He shouldn't have. Wishes he didn't. He shrugs anyway because he's already here. "Just lonely or something."
"You have yours?"
"Uhhuh, had it for forever."
"No shit, man?"
"Whatever," Steve says.

Summary
"They were satellites in unstable orbit, trying desperately not to collide while being pulled toward each other anyway."
Will Byers thought he'd buried his feelings for Mike Wheeler somewhere between Hawkins and Chicago. Then Mike walks into his life again, and eight years of distance collapse into nothing.
What starts as a forbidden attraction becomes something neither of them can name - desperate encounters, painful misunderstandings, emotional manipulation, and Mike's inability to reconcile who he is.
When Mike finally stops running, he might just be too late.

Summary
Max arches a brow. “Carlton, though? You two are dating and you don’t even kiss? Is it just a preference thing?”
Will sighs, resigned. He drops his hands. “Okay. Honestly?” He hesitates, then shrugs. “He was a bad kisser. And I just… couldn’t get excited around him. At all.”
The reaction is immediate and merciless. Dustin makes a dramatic gagging noise. El gasps like she’s been handed gossip gold. Lucas high-fives Max, shaking her hand in his.
Mike doesn’t say anything. He just watches Will, watches the way he shrugs it off, the way he laughs a little too loud, the way his ears go red.
Or, Will's new boyfriend is a bad kisser. Mike thinks it's a crime that no one has kissed Will properly. He's on a goal to change that, Carlton be damned.
