“Sometimes….” He paused. Then, he put out his cigarette, pressing it into a plastic bucket beside him. “Nevermind. Forget it.”
“Just spit it out,” Gordie pushed, and Chris grimaced.
There was more silence, until finally Gordie’s intent stare seemed to have gotten through to him and Chris gave a long sigh. “I wish that summer was it.”
Or,
It's 1962. Chris got dumped. He's upset, but Gordie knows that's not the reason. They talk.

Summary
“Jonathan…” His voice was high and resigned. “You know there’s no way I could do that. There’s no point—he likes girls. Plus, he’s going through a break up. And all this Vecna bullshit…” He sighed heavily, voice crumpling up like a tin can the more he spoke. “The last thing he needs is me burdening him further with my lame crush.”
In a blink Mike snatched up the walkie with trembling hands, shoving the plastic brick’s speaker hard against his ear.
So. El was right. Will did have a crush after all.In which Mike hears something he shouldn't.

Summary
“It’s your hand.”
Mike recognises Will’s hand, the scar on the back of it, the callousness of it caused by all the years of holding a pencil - or a gun lately - everything that Mike would know anywhere. It’s Will. He doesn’t know who the owner of the other hand is, though, a much more slender one, the one which thumb presses to the inside of Will’s hand on the paper, the long fingers wrapping themselves around the familiar wrist.
“It’s just a drawing.”
Will is defensive, looking down at his lap and biting the inside of his cheek. Mike can feel his heart practically fall to his stomach, the unpleasant, familiar thought of he’s not yours making him freeze in his place. Will is defensive, this isn’t just a drawing. He likes someone.
“You have a crush.”
or
Will draws his hand interlaced with another one. Mike is definitely not losing his mind about it.

Summary
“Like El.”
The words are so quiet, so unmeant to be heard that if Mike was any less perceptive, he wouldn’t catch them.
“Exactly like El. Maybe even cooler, because she was trained and you - you had no idea you could ever do that. Super cool.”
Mike refuses to unpack the weird, rotten feeling forming at the bottom of his throat at comparing them. He swallows around it until it lands in the darkness of his soul with a thud, leaving nail scratches on the shame already packed there.
“Oh.”
or
Will has powers. Mike is a little bit of an idiot about it, until he isn’t.
