Summary
It seemed like a good idea at the time. Renting a beach house with your friends for the summer - after last year's warm breeze flew you apart on different journeys.
But what do you do when your best friend is seemingly way ahead of you - in just about everything?
Maybe it was a bad idea when Will suggested that he and Mike should race against each other to see who could lose their virginity first.
That summer wasn’t going to be anything he’d ever imagined. Much worse than losing a stupid fucking race and much better than winning it.
“We could make a race out of it?” Maybe it was the way Will’s eyes beamed and the way the words of the suggestion left him, that intrigued something in Mike.
Mike hesitated before answering, not wanting to sound too eager, “How?”
“Whoever gets laid first, wins.”

Summary
Mike was sick of them. Sick of their double dates, their couple's costumes, inside jokes and plans they just have to make a 'couples thing'. Sure, the six of them still hung out together all the time, but Mike and Will would always end up ostracized by default, unable to communicate with them now that they only spoke the language of love and nothing else. And that summer, at the cottage, it definitely wouldn't be any different.
or
It's 1993. The party goes over to Lucas's family cottage for the summer; Mike and Will get bothered by how often they're excluded from all the couples stuff their friends do, which leads them to start pretending to be dating in the most insufferable way they can come up with. They just weren't counting on it completely blurring the lines of their friendship.

Summary
“Is … Will, is there someone there with you?”
The answer was immediate. “No! God, Mike, no. If Hopper found out, he would kill the guy that was here. It’s just … and don’t make a big deal out of it or anything, but, um, I was drawing - ha, it’s kinda - well, uh, you. I’m drawing you.”
“Oh.” Mike said it before he had a chance to process what Will had said. And before he even knew what he was saying next, he asked, “What am I wearing in the drawing?”
“Uh, well it’s realism, and I’m practicing, like, body positioning, so - um, nothing. You’re not wearing anything.”
or
It's the summer after graduation, and Mike comes up with a special D&D campaign - one that only him and Will can play. One where they kiss and touch and … well, you know.

Summary
The summer of 1989 is supposed to be theirs.
For the first time since they were twelve, nothing is trying to kill them. The Upside Down is gone. Hawkins is quiet. And the Party realizes they’ve never actually gotten to be normal teenagers.
So they make a plan.
One last summer to do everything they never got to do; parties, stupid competitions, late-night drives, bad decisions, and all the reckless things that come with finally feeling like the world might belong to them.
Just one last summer of being teenagers in Hawkins.
But once you’ve spent your whole life surviving the impossible, you learn to recognize when something isn’t right.
Which means that somewhere between the late nights, the laughter, and the slow realization that childhood is slipping through their fingers, the Party might be pulled into one last mystery.
And this time, it might change everything.
OR
Will Byers swears he’s over Him. Mike Wheeler swears he doesn't have feelings for him. One reckless summer in Hawkins proves they might both be very, very wrong.

Summary
"Why?"
“Because you are clearly not okay. If this is what it takes to make it better, I don’t see any issue with that.”
Will could see plenty of issues with it. The fact that they were supposed to be best friends and now they're all but fucking each other to name one. To name another, the fact that Will is in love with him and is unsure of Mike's feelings, just like he had always been. Another, the fact that he felt like he was taking advantage of Mike's kindness to get his rocks off and find some sleep. There were too many things wrong with this.
or
Will avoids Hawkins for many reasons, Mike Wheeler being one of them. After a dreaded visit to Hawkins and a week of risky activities, Will retreats to New York to get away, once again. In a twist of fate, Mike becomes his next-door neighbor. In a fit of sleep deprivation, Will asks him for a favor. One that blurs the lines of their relationship, the both of them questioning everything.
