   Summary

   Mike Wheeler has only ever wanted to be normal.

   Everyday Mike has stayed hidden, pretending to be something that he is not. And if you ask Mike, he feels like he has done a pretty damn good job the last few years despite everything. He has his friends and the party. He puts up with the dysfunction that is his family. He has managed to keep smiling despite all the pain throughout the supernatural events. He has El, who is his girlfriend, for God's sake.

   So why can't he be normal now? Why can't he stop his heart beating from out his chest? Why does he feel like his world was just flipped upside down?

   Because of one thing. Or one person really.

   Will Byers.

   Will Byers just killed three demogorgans like it was nothing. Will Byers just saved Mike's life. Will Byers is making Mike feel things he isn't allowed to feel. Again.

   Will Byers, Mike's childhood best friend, is the reason Mike can't be stay hidden anymore.
