Summary
Immediately post-Season 4, the gang are catching up and reuniting at Hopper's old cabin. Mike, who's been on the edge of a panic attack for the past few days, excuses himself to get some 'fresh air'- unbeknownst to anyone but Joyce, who still isn't fully up-to-date on the Vecna situation. After about 30 minutes, the group notices his absence and are immediately concerned. They can't find Mike anywhere in the surrounding area, but they find the exact thing they were dreading; a small gate.
Mike finds himself in the Upside-Down, but the circumstances are strange. Vecna is nowhere to be seen and the area around him is completely barren. It's an elaborate plot to torment Mike with his greatest fears; forcing him to relive his own worst memories with his family and friends by his side.
How much could one kid have to hide, anyways?

Summary
Max huffed but relented, "Boring!" She huffed before turning to Mike with an almost predatory glint in her eyes, "Truth or dare?"
Mike scoffed. He knew better than to pick a dare with the redhead. She might just get him killed.
"Truth."
She grinned, but it was softer, the evil glint fading away, “When…” She cleared her throat, “What made you realise that you are… well, gay?” She asked.
Mike went rigid in Will’s arms, as did the whole car. The other boy’s fingers trickled down his side, his other hand combing through his hair. The sensation lulled Mike’s tense muscles.
They expected an awkward laugh or a confused glare, maybe even a depressed sigh. The realisation of his sexuality had been a miserable time for Mike, after all, but none of that happened.
Mike's face turned red so quickly, Will thought he might faint, dizzy from the blood rush, and his eyes flickered to Lucas Sinclair.

Or; how Lucas Sinclair made four people realise they're gay.

Summary
Mike Wheeler hides behind a facade to conceal the pain in his heart. He turns to bad habits, secrets, and stays cloaked in the shadows. That is until an all too familiar foe reemerges in Hawkins and preys on those just like him. Those hiding behind masks, plagued by their pain.
Nobody suspected Vecna would go after Michael Wheeler. Maxine Mayfield, sure. Will Byers? Oh definitely. They’re caught by surprise when Mike Wheeler is targeted and Vecna chases after him like a hunting dog. After all, why give up such easy prey?
