Summary
Brian’s laugh is startled out of him, and he slaps a hand over his mouth to contain it, but he’s still grinning, mostly directed at Eddie. “You what?”
Eddie grins back. “You told me to do something joyful.”
“Well, I’m sorry I missed it,” Brian says, his smile softening. His eyes are—sparkly, almost. Eddie stares at them in wonder.
“So,” Buck says, very loudly. “A priest in a gay bar. Never seen that before.”

or: a firefighter, a priest, and a man dead-set on finding joy walk into a gay bar. rainbow jello shots may or may not be involved.

Summary
“Wow,” Will breathes out, just on this edge of teasing. “You sound very confident about this.”
“Well,” Mike shrugs, swallowing hard in a desperate attempt to soothe his very, very dry mouth, “I don’t know why someone wouldn’t be interested in you.”
“Oh?” Will says, and it’s definitely teasing now, enough for Mike to feel himself turning warm, all down his neck and to the tips of his own – sadly unpatterned – socks. “Someone?”
“Yeah.” Mike nods. Oh, god. This is fine. “In a very arbitrary sense of the word. Just– people. Someone.”
Mike is approximately ninety-eight percent sure that his feelings are requited. That last two percent, however, has really been throwing him for a loop.

Summary
“Will? Will Byers?” The edge of a face comes into view as the car’s obnoxiously tinted windows get rolled down, all black hair and wide eyes and confused, furrowed brows.
Will, to his dismay, recognizes the face immediately.
“It’s Mike,” Mike Wheeler adds, rather unnecessarily. “From camp.”
From camp, as if Mike hadn’t–
“Hi,” Will says anyway, because being wet and soggy and stranded on the side of the road kind of limits his leeway for snark. He shifts in his soaking wet shoes, glances up at the thundering sky, and thinks about how much he hates his life. “Yeah. It’s me.”
Will's a good person, really. But apparently the universe thinks otherwise. Why else would it send him a broken down car, a dead phone, a thunderstorm, and Mike Wheeler (and Mike Wheeler's horrendous Tesla) all in the same afternoon?

Summary
“We don’t want a repeat of the year you were Patient Zero, Mike,” Joyce adds, just for good measure. “So, no kissing and getting another counselor sick, okay?”
A beat passes.
Then, Mike lets out an indignant little squawking noise, and he sits up, his eyes wide and his face becoming increasingly more and more red. “Joyce!” he exclaims, his voice about an octave higher than usual. “I’m not – I mean… I haven’t—”
Or:
The one in which Mike catches a cold, Will coincidentally does too, and Joyce catches on to a little something more between these two.
