Summary
The summer before college, Mike and Will move into a tiny studio together, ready to start their next chapter — only to discover their across-the-street neighbor has a very public, very active sex life. Their weekly “observations for research purposes” are all jokes and commentary…until one night the neighbor brings home a man, and something in Mike shifts. Suddenly the bit isn’t so funny, the spiral is very real, the lines start to get a little too blurry, and the curiosity feels a bit too personal. Unfortunately for Mike, the only thing more distracting than the view outside is his childhood best friend living three feet away.

Summary
“No, you just…” Jonathan adjusted the focus, stood back and zoomed out to capture his full body. “You look beautiful.” His words were so distracted even he didn’t register them as anything more than a simple observation.
“Yeah, I know, now get snapping, Byers, come on. I’m not getting paid to wait.”
“You’re not getting paid at all.” Jonathan muttered as he finally shot the first photo.
Jonathan doesn’t expect anyone to respond to his ad for a photographic muse a week before he’s set to appear in a high-profile exhibit, least of all Steve, who he’s not spoken properly to in years. But Steve’s the first one to respond.

Summary
Mike Wheeler spends years trying to be “normal.”
Normal son, normal friend, normal boyfriend, normal boy.But growing up with Will Byers — through disappearances, monsters, trauma, high school, and finally college — makes “normal” feel less and less like something he actually wants.
This is the long, messy, painfully slow journey of Mike figuring himself out, losing himself, finding himself again, and realizing that the only thing that ever made sense — the only thing that ever felt right — was Will.
