Summary
Following a traumatic brain injury, Mike loses all his memories. Returning back to Hawkins, he puzzles his life back together with pictures and old journals and a book he never did finish writing. And all these forgotten materials are haunted by Will Byers, who he hasn’t been close to in years.
Will has been over his unrequited crush on Mike for years and he has no intention of returning. The distance helps and so does his interesting art friends. He hadn’t meant to stop calling Mike, but he did find the ache of missing him hurt less the longer they went without speaking. But when he returns to Hawkins after hearing of Mike’s accident, old feelings come crashing back. Because this Mike Wheeler is no longer afraid to say exactly what’s on his clean-slated mind.

Summary
The water ebbs around them, slow and tranquil, but the storm raging inside Will is anything but.
All he sees are Mike’s eyes as he closes the gap. A drop of water rolls down his neck, disappearing into the naked line of his collarbone.
“Say no if you don’t want me to,” he murmurs. “Push me back.”
Or, Will gets swept into Mike’s irresistible pull after a single night that changes their friendship forever. Late night talks turn into even later night kisses, friendly nudges to intoxicating touches, and the creaking of bedsprings now means something other than the return of Will's nightmares. Each new change blurs the line between friendship and something more, and as Will struggles to stay afloat through Mike's confusing storm, he starts wondering what it is exactly they are - and whether he'll sink for good in trying to find out.
