Will Byers is starting his senior year in high school. His friends are trying to convince him to have a positive attitude, start fresh, get into a real relationship, stop it with the one night stands... but his dark past is keeping him from this mindset. Mike Wheeler is also a senior at his school who's taken an interest in him. Maybe he can change him... Maybe for the better? (Mature themes) (Modern au)

***Modern Day AU*** Social Anxiety and High School don't mix. Will Byers just has to push through one more year, but a certain boy makes it so much harder, and Will can't help but wonder if he's been going about this all wrong. Maybe Mike Wheeler is just the person he needed to meet. And Maybe Will means more to Mike than he thought. Maybe that makes this terrifying. And maybe, just maybe, they both kind of love it.
