Summary
“I wouldn’t be who I am without you… and… whatever happens next— I just need you to know that no matter what—” he said with a choked voice. “You’ll always be important to me.”
Whatever happens next... no matter what...
Will felt his soul slowly leaving his body.
Time seemed suspended, as if they were trapped in a parallel reality.
Then Will started to cry. A terrible cry, sobbing and heaving. The tears streamed down like a waterfall and he didn’t even try to stop them, he just lay there, in the arms of the man he loved and who, apparently, was preparing him for the inevitable end.
will thinks mike is preparing to leave him. mike is preparing to ask him to marry him. these turn out to be very different things, as you can imagine

Summary
“Forever?”
Though the camera doesn’t catch it, Joyce and Jonathan exchange an amused look over the rearview.
Then, the footage splices, rapidly cutting through various points in life—Will and Mike’s first time hanging out at the Byers’; Mike coming over for Will’s birthday; Will coming over for Mike’s. Flashes of middle school that stretched into those final days before they left for Lenora. High school, graduation, moving day—the clips start blurring into one another as more pop up, but it stops on a clip of Mike and Will, probably around six years old, giggling as they try to handle the camera.
“We’ll see about forever, honey.”
(or, the one where jonathan byers has a lot of stocked up video footage from when mike and will were kids, and decides that the best time to reveal them is during his best man speech at their wedding.)

Summary
"Mike, come on," Will says, his smile still mid-bloom. "You don't think that's a little weird?"
"No," Mike says simply. "Why would that be weird?"
"Because I'm—" Will gestures vaguely to himself. "Gay. And you're…"
Will trails off, stopping himself, as if it just occurred to him that he could be wrong about the way he planned to answer that sentence. Mike isn't sure how he'd answer it either.
High, he thinks. Will is gay and I am high.

The party does MDMA and Mike can't stop touching Will.

Summary
Will Byers arrives in Hawkins for his wedding weekend already one minor inconvenience away from psychological collapse.
Unfortunately for him, the wedding coordinator turns out to be Mike Wheeler: sarcastic, sleep-deprived, weirdly attractive, and emotionally perceptive enough to become a serious problem almost immediately.
Or: five-star Midwest aristocracy, open-bar disasters, emotionally complicated candles, and one groom realizing perhaps too late that he might not be marrying the right guy.
