Summary
His brain finally catches up with Mike’s words, and Mike is saying things like, “C’mon, Will—you can do it,” and “I’m so proud of you,” and “Don’t rush, it’s okay.” In the softest tone imaginable, and if Will maybe pretends to still be a little more out of it than he actually is just to keep hearing Mike talk to him like that—well, that’s his business.

Summary
Mike dares Will to play a game of chicken with him.
Will, like most things, goes along with it.
---“Chicken,” he said finally.
Will blinked. “Chicken?” He frowned, trying to picture it. “Isn’t that the one where you get up on someone’s shoulders and try to knock the other person off?” The image flashed so suddenly and absurdly that a laugh almost escaped him. He caught it halfway, feeling stupid.
Mike shook his head quickly. His pale cheeks flushed, covering his freckles in a faint pink like he was embarrassed, or maybe warm. Will told himself it was probably just the basement lighting. Or the heat.
“No,” Mike said. “Like… the other game.” He rubbed his thumb against the edge of the blanket, not looking at Will now. “The one where you dare each other to do stuff. And you have to keep going until someone backs out.” He swallowed. “Chicken.”

Summary
His eyes widen as he takes him in. Mike. He almost couldn’t believe it was him at all.
“Stare a little harder, would you?” Mike said hoarsely, breaking the silence.
“Sorry,” Will breathed, and then shook himself out of… whatever he was doing; ogling, oh god. He was ogling Mike. “I didn’t mean to—you’re just, you look different.”
When Will Byers' powers come to light, Will and Mike are sent on a world-shifting adventure across universes that slowly serve to answer for that yawning chasm of lies and uncertainties between them. It may also, simulataneously, lead them straight to the salvation that they've all been waiting for, for far too long:
Purging their lives of the Upside Down, finally, once and for all.

Summary
The bottle begins to slow, and manages to point at every member of the party slowly before finally coming to a stop at-
“Will!” Dustin crows. “Will kissing a girl!”
“Shut up, Dustin, it's not like I'm allergic to them.” Will says, with no real heat. He swirls his wine glass, takes another sip, and then makes eye contact with Max, who is looking right at him with a glint in her eye. Right now, Will knows that they’re thinking exactly the same thing; This is an opportunity for fuckery that they simply cannot pass up.
Max crosses the circle and rather than kneeling down in front of him and leaning in, like all the other rounds that have been played, she throws one leg either side of him and straddles his lap. One of her hands slides up into Will’s hair, their faces hover, inches apart, for a few moments - before he grabs Max by the waist and kisses her full on the mouth.-
or: the Party get a little wine drunk, and play spin the bottle like every good teenage cliche. When the bottle finally lands on Will and Max, they can't resist the urge to fuck with their friends.
