Summary
Will loved ordinary things, an uneventful existence was something he craved. Sadly, when Mike Wheeler walks into his life, Will’s easy going path snaps right in half. A passion he could never imagine overtaking his whole being.
It was too bad their friend groups hated each other and his sister had a huge crush on the musician. Off limits.
Fantastic.

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.

Summary
Will hasn't spoken specifically to Mike in over a year. After the Byers moved to California that one year, and Will hardly talked to Mike anymore, they promised each other that they’d always stay in contact, even after high school graduation. That’s what a party is supposed to do, right?
Will followed in Jonathan’s footsteps and enrolled at NYU, just a short drive away from Joyce and Hopper in Montauk, who are soon to be married. After a year of going to college, his life’s been pretty great. He’s been taking fun (overbearing) art classes, has a fun (tiring) job, and an amazing (confusing) boyfriend. What more could he ask for?
It isn’t until his second year at college when things take a turn. Mike is back, enrolling at NYU for who knows what. It’s been so long since Will has even seen Mike that he doesn’t even know what to say to him, but one thing is for certain, Mike is different. He’s been acting really weird recently, specifically around Will, and Will is determined to find out why.
A year in college in which Will figures out Mike’s feelings towards him were a little more intense than he once remembered, all while trying to “balance” his “amazing” relationship.
