☆.｡.:*In which Will and Mike were best friends, but that was many years ago. Now? They never speak, or even acknowledge each other's existence.When they're locked in school together, however, an old friendship and maybe some new feelings start to blossom... ☆.｡.:* includes mature themes . ©itsjustbyler 2019

this story is based on the song heather by conan gray, in which will is jealous of mike and eleven's relationship because he has a crush on mike. will believes mike will never like him back because mike is straight, but what if will is wrong and mike isn't straight? this story takes place during season three. it will be similar, but not exact. only certain events will be accurate to the actual show, but it'll mostly be stuff that i make up. 🛑 i do not own any of the characters from the actual show or any of the plot from the actual show! the things i do own is the plot that i make up or any oc's that could potentially be added!🛑 ⚠️ TRIGGER WARNING ⚠️ swears and/or slurs WILL be used in this story ONLY because the 80's were a very homophobic time, so i apologize in advance if anyone is hurt by it. i myself am part of the LGBTQ+ community, so i can completely understand if you get upset.

***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.

☆.｡.:*In which Mike's family owns a charity. An honest-to-god charity. They're THAT rich. Mike volunteers there (a little against his will) and it's there he's forced to keep company to Will, a boy who's never spoken a word in his life. But what if their connection starts to grow a little beyond the expected? ☆.｡.:* mature themes. ©itsjustbyler 2019
