Summary
Jackson curled further into himself, eyes glued to his lap, and Will deflated some, forcing himself to calm down. Jackson didn’t want this. He didn’t want a scene. It was why Will had insisted he’d cover this, because he knew how much Mike hated dealing with asshole parents.
Maybe he should have let him take this one. Mike had practice dealing with this sort of thing, even if it was usually from the other side of the desk. Will had dealt with plenty of rude comments about how he was raising his son, sure, but it hadn’t given him thicker skin. It had worn away at him until he was sharp and angry, whirling around in supermarkets and snapping at the old ladies who’d mumble under their breath.
He was just- he was so tired. He was sick and tired of everybody else thinking they were entitled to saying this shit, just because he didn’t fit into some cookie cutter mold. He was tired of Jackson having to hear it, and Ceci. They shouldn’t have to.
Sometimes, Will wished he was normal, just so they could be too.
The circumstances through which Will became a father weren't conventional or ideal, but he would raze the Earth to the ground for his kids if he had to.
(Runs in the family.)

Summary
Will bites his lip and nods, looking down at his shoes again so Richie won't see how hard he's holding back a giddy smile.
Everybody in the party knows everything about him. Maybe it wouldn't be the worst thing to keep a secret from Mike for a little while.
It's kind of exciting. Sneaking in a boy Mike hates.
Will shakes his head, trying to clear Mike from it for the night. Only when he looks back up at Richie, Richie has this conspiratorial smile on his face, like maybe Will isn't the only one eager to piss off Mike Wheeler.
OR: the concept of Richie Tozier being Will Byers' dirty little secret and Mike Wheeler being so jealous he can't breathe. Byler endgame.

Summary
“Why? Why won’t you ever tell me what’s wrong with you?” Carlton’s voice is filled with frustration, and it sounds like nails on a chalkboard to Will.
What is wrong with him. It’s such a loaded question. Why does Will wake up screaming sometimes? Why can’t Will handle the cold? Why are there days when Carlton’s hands on him feel like being kept under water with no way up?
And why can’t Will tell Carlton the truth? How could Will possibly explain it without sounding insane? What is the human translation for being taken and kept in another dimension, violated, and possessed, only to then be violated yet again—
This part of him is something Will is never going to be able to share with anyone else. That nobody would understand.
Why won’t you tell me what’s wrong with you.
“Because you wouldn’t get it.” Will somehow manages to say it without gagging.
And then, Carlton goes in for the kill.
“Oh, but Mike does?”
OR
After leaving Hawkins to go to college in the great city of San Franscisco, Will finally finds someone who loves him. The only problem is that the only person in the world who knows him, is someone else.
