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
It was easy for Will to ignore the feelings when Mike wasn't around. Back then, in California, or during those months when the boys weren't talking.
But now, Mike was everywhere. Sending him smiles over the kitchen table when they accidentally met in the morning. Asking how Will has been. Sitting next to him on the couch instead of far on the other side. Those small things made Will go crazy.
Because now, there was no distance stopping the reality, no silence telling him that pushing Mike away was fixing whatever was wrong with him. Now, the barrier holding everything together broke, filling every second of Will's life with feelings he could no longer hold back from himself. He couldn't hide them anymore, convince himself that it was normal for friends to feel that way.
Will Byers was desperately in love with Mike Wheeler.
OR
After the Byers return from California, Mike and Will don't talk anymore. But one day, something changes and suddenly, Mike is everywhere. The frequent accidental touches and looks grow into something surprisingly similar to their behaviour when they were young. And that confuses Will, because Mike is still with El, right?

Summary
“I’m coming with you,” Will says immediately. “I’ll find a way. I won’t let you go alone.”
Mike’s expression hardens. For a split second, it looks like his breath gets stuck somewhere in his chest, his lungs refusing to move. His shoulders square, his posture going rigid beneath the armor as Will’s words sink in. But he isn’t angry, not really.
“No. You can’t.”
“You don’t get to decide that for me,” Will snaps, his grip tightening unconsciously at the edge of Mike’s armor.
“And you don’t get to make me weaker,” Mike fires back before he can stop himself.
or; Will panics the very moment Mike tells him that Vecna has returned; determined, Will wants to follow him into battle, only to discover that it is his bond with the paladin himself that prevents him from fighting at his side.
