   Summary

   Will Byers has had a background crush on his best friend Max's older brother Mike for as long as he can remember. He's never acted upon it, never really had a reason to, when all he had was glimpses of Mike from across the living room.

   But what happens when it turns out he goes to the same university as Will, states away from Max and Hawkins, and there's nothing left standing in between them?
