***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.

☆.｡.:*What if the cute girl you met at the party wasn't a girl at all?

While trying to do so, he develops a close friendship with Eleven and a new kid at school, whose open sexual fluidity gives a great opportunity for advice. But when guilt and jealousy take over, things don't go smooth for either of them. (slowburn) (ALSO THERE IS NO SMUT IN THIS BOOK) takes place after the plot of s3 just in case you're here after s4 🤞
