Michael Wheeler was gay. And honestly, that wasn't new to him anymore. It had been about a year since he realized he was, and the fact that he had feelings for his best friend, Will Byers. He guessed he had always been sort of aware of it, but now he was really sure of it...
In this story, which is set after season three, Mike struggles with his identity, the dangers and fears of coming out in 1986, and just his feelings in general.
