Summary
Something flutters at the back of Will’s neck. His scar twinges at his side.
It’s nothing, he tells himself, like he always does. It’s nothing, it’s just—you’re tense, you’re nervous, you’re being stupid, it’s not anything important—
His entire body thrums with a fearful energy. The feeling of otherness in his veins.
It certainly feels important.

Summary
It’s dark. Cold. He’s back.
Thick, ash-like particles scatter in the air. Writhing vines crawl up the walls and into the arcade machines, which flicker on and off like faulty lightbulbs. The whole room is gray, devoid of any music or life.
And through it all, there’s a voice. One that Will’s come to know almost as well as his own.
Come back, Will. Come home. Join us.

Summary
Will swallows down his fear and stares at the door unblinkingly. Kill the monster. Take the risk. Cast fireball. Shoot the gun.
Of course, he hadn’t expected it to come from behind him.
The light burns bright into his retinas. The whole room shakes, wood paneling nearly busting at the seams.
A rolled seven. An unrewarded risk.
The beast’s got him.

Summary
Dustin hums in agreement while he swallows his bite. “It’s like, against his factory settings to say no to you. What do you need him to do, model for you or something?”
Will shoves his face back into his hands. “I’m going to fail.”
Max rolls her eyes. “You’re not going to fail, you’re going to paint Mike.”
Will lifts his head up from his hands, eyes wide, and shakes his head. “You don’t understand.” He pleads with his awful, awful friends, voice low. “He’s been, he’s using my-he came out of my bathroom in just a towel last night.”
Studio art major Will Byers has a study of the human body due before the semester ends, is in desperate need for a model, and has a huge, life-altering, heart wrenching crush on his best friend.
Enter: Mike Wheeler, his broken shower, and his collection of plaid-print boxers.
