All at once, he was an angel, shy and soft and ready. Completely Mike’s. Mike couldn’t believe they were doing this – that Will was letting him do this. It was the best of dreams.
Mike and Will had a tradition. When they did something for the first time, they did it together. Firsts were their thing. Mike takes this very, very seriously.

He tried to think of something else—literally, anything else. Puppies. Nancy. His grandma. That weird version of the Mind Flayer they fought at Starcourt Mall that was just a goopy flesh monster made up of rats and bodies.
It wasn't working. The image of Dream Will hovering over him—eyes glazed over, coming undone—was burned into his retinas, sitting at the top of his fucking Archive of Jerking Off Material with a bright orange sticker that read NEW RELEASE FT. YOUR BEST FRIEND LOOKING TOTALLY FUCKABLE.
OR
Mike Wheeler has been spending a lot of time in his dreams lately—more specifically, wet dreams about Will Byers—ever since he discovered he has the ability to become lucid in them. He is so totally normal about it and not spiraling out of control.
