Summary
Will raises his eyebrows. “Is that why you came in here?” he repeats, looking back down at the blue flannel. “To ask me about the weather in Lenora?”
“Kind of,” Mike says, and then, “well no, not about the weather specifically. I just– I wanted to talk to you.”
“Oh.” And Will looks a lot more surprised at this, actually, than the idea that Mike might have just wanted to come to his room to make small talk about unseasonably frigid California winters. “Okay. What about?”
“Anything.” The response is embarrassingly immediate. “Everything. I don’t know. I missed you.”
Hawkins, 1986. The world is ending, there are too many people in Mike's house, and to top it all off, he and Will have some things to talk through.

Summary
The world hadn't ended when he'd shown Mike the celebrity magazine Jonathan had got him, the glossy pages flipped open to the picture of David Bowie, with his bright orange hair, and shimmery nails. The world hadn't ended when he whispered how cool he thought he was, because Mike hadn't made a face, or called him weird. Mike thought he was cool too.
Or- three times Mike and Will talked about David Bowie, and one time Mike almost got a terrible haircut because of it.
