Summary
When Will was pulled out of the water, Mike didn’t know what to feel. He doesn’t remember much from the funeral later, he already knew that Will was alive by then, but he still felt something bad staring down at the grave below him, the casket being lowered down. Mike feels that same way when he sees Will drop to one knee after they finally beat Vecna. The portals are opening and closing, fizzing out with Vecna’s power. It’s like they’re spasming, and Mike barely has time to take a breath before one swallows Will and everything around him. Blood flies everywhere, enough that Mike can’t see what happened, or what caused it. Then someone’s pulling him to one of the portals that El is holding stable for them to escape through.
“We have to go!” Steve yells, dragging Mike with him.
But Mike doesn’t want to go, he wants to go to Will. But Will’s not there anymore.

Summary
A Will and Jonathan introspection from season 1.
Everything hurts when Will wakes up. His fingers feel like they’re going to fall off, and his body is one big aching mess. Vines press indents into his arms despite his sleeves, telling him he’s been there too long. That it’s going to catch up, and he can’t have that happen. If he does, he’ll never get home. But it’s so cold. Almost too cold to move, and his skin is white as a sheet when he looks down at his shaking hands. But still he pushes himself up.
He teeters, unsteady and barely able to stand. Fear floods his veins at the idea of not being able to run, not being able to find another hiding place. Then he hears it, growling. It’s distant, but unmistakably the Demogorgon. And then Will’s running again, and everything starts to blur together. He grew up in this town, and he knows it inside and out. It’s not hard for him to remember his way around, but every hour he spends here, he gets slower and it gets harder to get away. And that thing never stops.

Summary
“No. No, Mike, can you hear me?” He nods, ever so slightly. It’s enough for Will. If he’s dying— if these are truly the last words that will ever be spoken between them— there’s only one thing he can say. “I love you. I’m in love with you, Mike, please. You can’t go. I love you so much,” Will whispers, cradling his body to his chest.
—
Will confesses his feelings as Mike takes his last breaths— and then Mike decides to be a stubborn asshole about it and survives. Will is left to deal with the aftermath of his choice, navigating an awkward new friendship.

Summary
When Will Byers leaves for California before his freshman year of high school, he plans on starting anew. Cutting all contact with his friends, he focuses on his studies and reinvents the life that he wishes he had.
Four years later, after spending a semester at NYU, he and his brother Jonathan decide to revisit their home in Hawkins, Indiana. On their first night back, Jonathan takes Will out to a concert, with the intention of introducing Will to some of his old friends. What Will didn’t expect, however, was to be face to face with someone who he would rather just forget: Mike Wheeler.
So basically everyone is aged up and the year is 1989. Okay? Cool.
