Summary
Will's been alive for... a while. He stopped keeping track a long time ago. He's got one final tradition keeping him somewhat tethered to a mortal's idea of time, and it's this: once a year, he revisits a lovelock and remembers, for a moment, the last time he allowed himself to become attached to someone he was always destined to leave behind. Someone he still loves, despite the time that's past, despite the mortality that's surely claimed him.
Even more than a century later, Will's imagination always likes to torture him this time of year with flashes of dark hair and a familiar jacket in crowds and store windows. With all the time that's passed, he doesn't let himself hope the way he used to, a lifetime ago.
(Maybe he should've)
Or: Will Byers is a vampire grieving the (supposed) loss of the love of his life, Mike Wheeler.
