    Summary

    “Will it get better?” Will asked her, voice scratchy, emotions leaking out. The nightmares. The monsters. The deaths. Mike.
    “I don’t know,” she whispered back, her own voice breaking.
    “It has to,” he said, more to himself than her. “This – this can’t just be it.”

    The Byers have moved to California; Hopper is gone, Billy flayed, Bob dead, and Will is now 2,274 miles away from everything and everyone he has ever known. And he’s Fine. Nightmares stalk his sleep, his chest aches with the life he left behind, the childhood that had never really felt like his. The boy back home with the freckles and the words left out in the rain. Will is Fine. And he’ll keep telling himself that until the dreams drag him under.

     

    or:
    Will gets to Cali and accidentally hot girl summers; cue meeting new cute boys and sneaking out to parties and spray painting the back ends of Lenora to feel some semblance of control.

    Summary

    Will and Mike accidentally overhear a couple talking dirty over the walkie, and start repeating some of the filthy phrases to each other for shits and giggles. What starts as a joke, soon turns into something they can't stop doing – and can’t tell anyone about.

    Or:

    Mike and Will start talking dirty to each other for fun. What they don't consider is that it would accidentally turn them on.

    Summary

    At some point Will realised his hand was still over Chance’s. Maybe it was the liquor sitting heavy in his system, or maybe it was just sheer dumb courage, but he felt himself gently shift his hand to the side, moving until it sat flush beside Chance’s.

    Maybe the alcohol was clouding Will’s senses, but he could have sworn Chance’s fingers shifted to brush his.

    Summary

    Will raises his eyebrows. “Is that why you came in here?” he repeats, looking back down at the blue flannel. “To ask me about the weather in Lenora?”

    “Kind of,” Mike says, and then, “well no, not about the weather specifically. I just– I wanted to talk to you.”

    “Oh.” And Will looks a lot more surprised at this, actually, than the idea that Mike might have just wanted to come to his room to make small talk about unseasonably frigid California winters. “Okay. What about?”

    “Anything.” The response is embarrassingly immediate. “Everything. I don’t know. I missed you.”

    Hawkins, 1986. The world is ending, there are too many people in Mike's house, and to top it all off, he and Will have some things to talk through.
