Summary
A storm breaks over Hawkins, Indiana in the summer of '85, and somewhere between rain-soaked confessions and shaking hands, Mike Wheeler realizes something he probably should've figured out a LONG time ago.
OR : Mike and Will kiss in the rain, panic about it, talk things out, and end up tangled together under the blankets anyway.

Summary
"I'm sick of it, Mike. I'm sick of feeling like I don't matter to you unless you're fighting with El. Let me out."
It's the sweltering summer of 1985, and the tension in the Wheeler basement is suffocating. El just dumped Mike, Max is icing out Lucas, and Dustin decides the only way to clear the air is a forced game of Spin the Bottle mixed with Seven Minutes in Heaven.
After Lucas and Max hash things out and Dustin and El share an experimental peck, a jealous and oblivious Mike spins the bottle, and it lands on Will. Mike drags his best friend into the cramped closet out of pure, petty spite, determined to prove he doesn't care about his breakup. But when Will calls him out on his toxic behavior, Mike's anger shatters, leaving him to realize that his desperate need to prove a point might actually be a desperate need for Will.
