    Summary

    But it wasn’t a monster that came out of the trees. It was a person. A boy.

    Mike froze.

    Then he was spotted, and the boy stopped in his tracks; with skillful movements, he quickly slung the rifle off his shoulder and pointed it at Mike’s chest. Mike raised his hands while trying to keep most of his weight on his left leg.

    “Whoa. Hey,” Mike said, his eyes wide as he stared at the tip of the rifle. “Just hold on. I’m not—I’m not going to hurt you.”

    Or: A crawl gone wrong left Mike stranded in the Upside Down. Hurt and alone, Mike stumbles upon someone everyone told him was dead.

    Will Byers was never found Au

    Summary

    Will wiped his damp eyes with the back of his hand and then looked back at Mike. He said, with a wobble in his voice, “I just don’t want to go. I know it’s stupid, it’s only a month and I’ve done it before, but Jonathan was always there, and now he won’t be. And I’m going to miss you so much. I’m going to miss everyone.”

    Or:

    Will spends every July at Lonnie’s due to his parents’ custody agreement from their divorce. Fueled by a heartsickness that he doesn’t quite have a name for yet, Mike does his best to make things better.

    Summary

    If Mike could ever make it past his mother and out of his family's driveway, then all that stretched before him was the open road, an admittedly slapdash itinerary, and uninterrupted time with Will Byers.
    Mike wanted nothing more than uninterrupted time with Will Byers.

    The summer before college, Mike and Will take a road trip.

    Summary

    “My hands are cold,” Mike complains, even making sure to force a shiver for dramatic effect. He isn’t sure whether or not Will is going to take the hint this time. “You know, since I forgot my gloves.”

    “And I think I lost mine,” Will sighs, and he sort of looks like he’s hyping himself up to do something. “Do you want to hold my hand?” He offers, his voice suddenly going soft and his face turning seven shades redder. “For, uh — for warmth.”

    Will has warm hands. Mike discovers he likes that a little more than he should, and with it he discovers something about his feelings.
