Summary
"I have Ms. Kelly today," Max says, almost bitterly. "You'll be okay at lunch without me?" she says it sarcastically, like a joke, but there's an undercurrent of something else in her voice; for a moment, she almost sounds scared.
Will releases her hand, even as they walk out of the gym doors together. "Works out for me," he tells her, "I have that project for art I have to finish up anyways." He pauses, hesitates. "Will you be okay without me?"
Max takes a breath, and then gives him a shaky smile, one that doesn't quite reach her eyes. "I'll have your tape," she says, wiggling the wires of her headphones. "See you after school."
~~
or: a shared tragedy brings max and will together for their first year of high school in hawkins. they stay together, even as their demons rise again. a s4 rewrite, in which joyce is the one who dies at the end of s3 and thus the byers + el never move.

Summary
Things aren't getting any easier for Mike Wheeler. The shared dream of living together with his best friend Will Byers is a reality, only it winds up to be a home, a cage, and everything in between. It’s a home when their front door shuts and it’s only him and his favorite boy behind it, and it’s a cage when Mike can’t run away from his deepening feelings.
OR
Mike sees Will wear eyeliner for the first time, and that may be when he falls in love with his best friend. One drunken encounter between the two stirs up blends of jealousy and tension until one helplessly snaps.
