   Summary

   Will Byers is in an abusive relationship with his boyfriend, Spencer. After one night, Will leaves and goes to the only person who would take him in, Mike Wheeler, his only guiding light.

   The only issue: Will and Mike haven't talked for almost 2 years because Will's boyfriend has been manipulating him, and he has no idea where to find him.
