Summary
It was only supposed to be one harmless lie. Sneaking around with Chance Fernandez wouldn’t hurt anybody. For once, Will Byers was going to do what he wanted. For once, he’d have control over something in his life. Just this once, he wanted to experience something normal.
Or
Will starts hooking up with Chance behind everyone’s backs and it triggers a downward spiral.

“Do you remember what I said to you… when I first visited you in the hospital?”
“You’re going to have to be more specific.”
There it was again, that patronizing, not Will tone.
Mike’s breath hitched. “When I said… that I am sick like you.”
Will hummed as if to indicate he was thinking about it, but to Mike it seemed insincere.
“Well, now that we both know this, maybe we should just carry on.”
“Don’t you want to talk about it? You never told me what you thought about my letter.”
Will sighed irritably, “We’re here, together, isn’t that enough for you?”
Mike’s stomach tightened. Enough was enough.
“It would be. But you’re not Will.”

He hears a huff of laughter, and a hand brushes his bangs away from his eyes. “You should rest,” Mike murmurs.
“I’m not tired,” says Will, and it’s true. He’d slept away the evening that blended into the night, and with a full stomach and a somewhat better leg, he’s feeling more like he can stay up a little longer.
“Your eyes are shut,” Mike protests, and Will takes the comment as a way to open them back up, though he might as well shut them again from how the sight completely takes the breath out of him.
Mike’s looking down at him, eyes shining in the moonlight, cheeks tinged pink. There’s something familiar in his face, something Will hasn’t seen in years. Since…since he was thirteen, seeing visions of the Upside Down and a shadow hovering above it all. “God, I was so worried when we got that call.”

Will gets injured and there's only one person who can possibly offer him comfort. Only, he can't exactly ask for what he wants.

Summary
When Mike first filled out the paperwork, he didn’t know if anything would come of it. He’d just arrived back in Ithaca after a spring break visit to the city. His neck was stiff from the weird nap he’d taken on the bus. It was snowing, in April. He didn't even have any friends to call up and announce his return, unless you counted his roommate, Jeremy, who greeted him with an indifferent head nod and a “hey, man” when Mike spilled through the door of their dorm room, shaking melting snowflakes out of his overgrown hair.
He trudged across campus the next day, past dirty iced-over snow drifts that seemed like they might never melt, and knocked on the door of his advisor’s office.
“If I wanted to transfer to another school next year,” he said, fidgeting with his backpack in his lap as he sat down in the squeaky vinyl-backed chair, “how would that work?”

Summary
Will got shitfaced drunk for the first time in his life, that night in the Village. It was good to feel loose, dizzy, to leave the lonely boy shivering in the woods behind for a few hours. It was even better to feel eyes on him, wandering hands on the dance floor—to feel wanted, seen. He didn’t quite remember how he got from the club to the guy’s Chelsea apartment, but he remembered the rest. Hands, lips, muscled biceps. The pain, the stretch, the aching pleasure. The pre-dawn cab ride home. It was a wholly decent first time, all things considered. He told himself that in the dark, cold days that followed, hiding away in the studio, furiously working, avoiding all his new friends. The guy was nice; he used a condom, Will was 95% sure. Weeks passed. Will didn’t get sick. And the next time he picked up the phone and heard Mike’s voice on the other end of the line, he went out and did it again.
