Summary
Mike Wheeler knows the middle of the end of the world is not the best time to have a sexuality crisis. Especially not when he stupidly joins the group doing a sweep of the high school that ends up getting locked in for the weekend. And, of course, Will Byers, the cause of this crisis, is also a part of said group.
Now there's nothing stopping him from being forced to come face to face with his feelings.
But hey, when you’re looking for answers, there’s no better place to be stuck.
And if the books aren’t enough, Mike might be stuck with just the right people to help him figure it out. Or at least help him accept it.

Summary
"I want you to tell me something you haven't told anyone before."
Will took a moment to process the words, but all he could come up with to say in response was, "What?"
"These confessionals always sucked because I knew no matter what I said, I was being judged," Mike explained. "There wasn't someone I trusted on the other side." There was a beat where, for a second, Will was sure he could hear Mike's heart beating. "But we trust each other." It wasn't a question. Will liked that. Liked that Mike still thought of him that way. "So maybe if we just lay it all out on the line, not having to even see the other... maybe we'll get back to how things were."
"But... we already know all of each other's secrets." Will was sure his tone gave away the obvious lie.
"Not anymore."
***
Will and Mike are tasked with scoping out Roane Cemetery Church for clues, and the awkwardness between them can't be ignored any longer. Unsure of where they stand, Will and Mike decide to each choose three things to share with each other that no one else knows. The last one could change everything.

Summary
Will needs a date to his mom's wedding. Mike volunteers.
“I have an idea,” says Mike.
Ice cubes form in Will’s stomach. “How dangerous is it? Like, should I call Dustin to talk you down, or should I call Nancy to be ready to drive us to the hospital?”
“No,” says Mike, “you can’t tell anyone or it won’t work.”
“Or what won’t work?” Will asks. It’s like picking up a rock you know a spider will be under.
Mike gets up and closes Will’s door. Hopper doesn’t make them keep it open but sometimes Will does anyway, because every now and then lying around alone with Mike on his bed just makes his chest ache too much. If the door is open he can tell himself You can’t do anything right now, someone will see.
Mike leans back against the door. His eyes are lit up with that special maniacal gleam that the Wheelers get right before they do something insane, like when Nancy says, “Then we have to go kill Vecna ourselves,” or whatever. “Take me to the wedding,” says Mike.
“Yeah,” says Will slowly, “you’ll be at the wedding. Obviously.”
“As your date."

Summary
Hopper rubbed his face, looking suddenly tired. "Look, I know you think I'm being unreasonable. But I'm trying to do what's best for you. What if..." He paused, eyes looking back and forth between El and Will. He was thinking hard about something. "What if we modified the rule slightly?"
"Modified how?" El asked.
"You can date… when Will does."
El and Will’s stomachs both dropped.
"What?!" They burst out in unison.
"You heard me. When your brother starts dating someone, you can date too. That way I know you're both mature enough to handle it."
