Summary
Mike has spent the last three years figuring out what on earth to do with his life. From painting like will to writing news articles like Nancy— nothing seemed to work. Until, eventually, he turned back to DnD, landing right back where he started. A storyteller.
He ends up applying for colleges to get a creative writing degree, and much to his surprise, he’s rejected from all but one. And the one he was accepted to?
Will’s college.
Mike tells himself it’s a big enough school and that they’ll never run into eachother. He won’t even have to think about what happened two years ago.
And then he meets his roommate, Will Byers.
Or;
The voice sounded a lot like—
He turned around.
“…Mike?”
Mike’s mouth dropped open for a split second, his hands going clammy.
“Will.”
Mike silently hid the scroll behind his back, putting on a smile. The silence hung thick in the air.
“Uh, are you my roommate?” The words scratch their way up Mike’s throat, his free hand pointing to the random guy that Will was with.
“Uh, no, it’s-“
“It’s me,” Will interrupts, raising a small hand before quickly putting it back to the bottom of the boxes.
