Summary
“I just–” Mike interrupts, voice cracking as if the words are knives in his throat. “Why does everything have to be like this? Why does this have to be so hard? Why can’t we just–” he cuts himself off, frustrated, with a scoff.
Will knows Mike well enough to hear everything he's not saying: Why can’t we just be like everyone else? Why do I have to hide how much I love you?
And God, Will feels it too—every bit of it.

Summary
Then he feels gentle taps on his skin.
* * ( I )
Will’s breath catches but he doesn’t move - the two singular taps might just be an accident, after all. It’s not like Mike’s ever had the chance to learn morse code. Not like Will did - with his drunk dad sitting at the table and the only open way of communicating with his mom being by small sounds left on the wood.
* - * * - - - * * * - * ( love )
Will feels sick. He tries to tear his hand away, but Mike doesn’t let go - clearly determined to finish the sequence.
- * - - - - - * * - ( you )
Their eyes finally connect, as Mike lets go of Will’s hand.
Will’s voice is faint and in contrast with white lights surrounding them, flickering lightly, as if in mockery. As if witnessing the end of it all.
"You know morse code?”
or
Mike and Will are on a mission in the Upside Down, when the lights start to flicker.

Summary
The Wheeler’s lakehouse was a two-story wooden building with white siding and blue shutters on each of the little windows. It sat on the edge of a large blue-green lake, a long backyard full of tall tufted grass that ended in a wooden dock extending out over the water. Will had been to the Wheeler’s lakehouse twice as a child, once when he was eight and again when he was sixteen. Now, he was twenty-nine and pulling up to the long driveway of the house in his beaten-up Ford Escort, his stomach in nervous knots that he was trying to calm with a half-full can of ginger ale.
or, four months after one byers/wheeler couple breaks up, another gets married. and, of course, will and mike are both the best men. and, of course, there is a plot to get them back together. nothing goes to plan.

Summary
"Children, children, CHILDREN!" Murray finally snapped, pinching the bridge of his nose. The three of them shut up and looked at him in shock. "Enough of this pointless, childish bickering already. If I wanted to watch drama like this I would turn on a soap opera or telenovela. My god, do I have to play therapist to EVERYONE in this group?? I could sue you all for emotional compensation!"
Mike started to argue. He didn't know what he was going to say, exactly, but he was still pent up and Murray seemed like a better target than his two best friends. Unfortunately he didn't get very far.
"Ba-ba-ba! NO. Shut up and SIT DOWN. It's my turn to talk," Murray said forcefully, shoving the three of them onto the couch, with Mike somehow ending up in the middle.
"Oh no," Jonathan said under his breath.
"Shit," Nancy said at the same time.
Joyce hurried forward and stepped in between them. "Murray, Murray, no," she pleaded. "I know what you're doing, STOP."
Or: Murray meddles, Mike is hella confused, the world is ending, and Will won't talk to him.
OR: Mike runs away from his feelings and then for his actual, literal life.
