Summary
...but death now means something different. Death is what claimed his best friend, and death is what could tie them together once again. By some wild happenstance, Mike is treading a line he never thought he'd have the privilege of reaching.
As his toes gently curl around the very tip of the cliff, a film reel begins to wind. It's wildly aglow and fills his chest with a comfort he can't describe. A kaleidoscope of purple cloaks and biking to Melvald's and sleepovers and plastic figurines and comic books and that all-consuming, incandescent, bright, warm presence that is Will Byers fills his body from head to toe.
He watches as the water dances below his feet, pulling him towards it with a gentle serenade. Already, he can feel the cold wrapping around his body and filling his lungs. He wonders what might happen after. Is there something beyond nothing? He wonders how Will might have felt in his last moments...
The cliff scene in Season 1, but told from Mike's perspective.

It's not that Mike wants Will to be a girl, but if he were, their lives would be so much easier.
(Or; during a game of truth or dare, Will ends up in El's clothing. Mike can't help but notice how similar they are.)

Summary
"Regardless of who Jane was to you, what you felt wasn't invalid. Loving Will doesn't mean you didn't love her - even if it isn't in the way you think it should've been. You were still close, she was still one of your best friends. What you felt was real, and what you feel now is real. You're not wrong for being in love, Mike. I think she'd want you to be happy, even if it meant letting you go she would've wanted you to be happy."
------
It's Mike's 17th birthday, his first one since... well... everything.
He spends his day contemplating who El - Jane - really was to him, who Will could be for him, and who he himself may learn to be.
It's a shame the quarry calls him before any of those ideas come to fruition.
OR:
Mike Wheeler goes on a walk and regrets his life decisions.

“How about we get away from the edge and you can tell me what your feelings are?”
or
Immediately after the epilogue, Mike gets drunk and goes to the cliff, Will has to talk him away from the edge.
