The months of May through July were always magical for Mike Wheeler, whether that be because of the annual Hawkins Fourth of July celebration, or the unlimited time to hang out with friends, eat junk, or go missing all day was presented on a silver platter to him between these months-something was always so magical.
More so this summer than ever before; longing looks, movie nights in the secluded basement (where Will and Mike were free to slather each other in kisses when nobody was watching), Making out in Mike or Will's room when the house was empty, kissing in the sickeningly-sweet thunder storms of their dreams, or even the secret touches that lit Mike's skin a-flame for no reason whatsoever.
But what happens when said summer puts him in shambles, and forces him to finally come to terms with not only what he wants, but who he wants? Strings attached this time.
or,
Mike and Will spend a summer in a blissful no-strings-attached fling, Mike unable to come to terms with himself until they are already over.
