Starcourt Mall returns with a grand reopening. The city where it now stands is ready to accept it as a symbol of a new, safer life. People are waiting for lights, noise, and the comforting feeling that everything dangerous has been left behind. Only Mike and Will feel uneasy. Too much feels familiar, and the past is pretending to be forgotten a little too easily. And if the danger has returned, it has chosen the one place where no one wants to see it.

It's been three years. Will is 16, almost 17. It's been horrible away from Hawkins, but he did it for his mum and Jonathan. Even though, that meant his happiness was nothing to him. But he would be happy - "Only for you, Mike." 🅦🅐🅡🅝🅘🅝🅖🅢 • Gay Slurs • Mentions of suicide/self harm • Lots of swearing • Hopper is not dead and Eleven did not move with the Byers.

After the events of Vecna, Will Byers and Mike Wheeler have grown closer than ever before. Perhaps it was not seeing each other for a year, or maybe the tension in the air during their long car ride, but Mike and El are no longer an item and Will's confusion over his best friend continues to grow... *** Updates every Tuesday and Friday (I promise I'm trying to be consistent but school is super time consuming!!!) *** I do not own any of these characters or the plot etc. All creds to the Duffer Brothers. *** Set after Season 4, partially vol. 2 compliant. *** Completed: 08/11/2022

Right after the breakup between Mike and El, Mike learns that his true feelings were always meant for someone else. (takes place after season 4)

𝐖ill Byers se muda a la casa de los 𝑾heeler sin previo aviso. Jonathan ocupa el cuarto de invitados, Nancy le ofrece a Eleven quedarse en su cuarto ya que hay suficiente espacio y Will elige el sótano, manteniendo la distancia que ya existía. 𝐌ike no está de acuerdo, pero no puede decirlo. Entre ellos quedó una ʍɛntira sin resolver y una verdad que Will se negó a contar. No terminaron bien, y convivir bajo el mismo techo solo hace que el enojo y la incomodidad se vuelvan inevitables. 𝐇𝐚𝐰𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐬 sigue siendo el mismo pueblo tranquilo, pero la casa se transforma en un espacio donde los silencios pesan más que las palabras. Porque algunas personas se convierten en hogar incluso cuando todo quedó mal. 𝓝o monsters/ powers/ upside down

Hay amores que no empiezan con un beso. Empiezan con compañía, con silencios compartidos, con estar ahí incluso cuando todo duele. Will Byers aprendió a querer en silencio. A guardar cartas, dibujos y palabras que nunca se animó a decir. Mike Wheeler, en cambio, siempre creyó que entendía sus sentimientos... sin darse cuenta de que había cosas que nunca se dicen en voz alta. Entre recuerdos que todavía pesan, emociones que confunden y miradas que dicen más que mil palabras, dos amigos se enfrentan a una verdad que estuvo frente a ellos desde el principio. Porque a veces, el amor no llega tarde. Solo espera a ser leído.

The darkness does not disappear completely. It simply changes its shape. Mike tries to move forward, pretending the past is behind him, but fear, doubt, and unspoken feelings keep pulling him back. Will is there, too close and yet painfully distant, and that closeness frightens Mike more than any monster ever did. As the line between reality and nightmare begins to blur again, Mike is forced to face not only a new external threat, but the prison inside himself. This is a story about fragile love born in silence, about the fear of being seen for who you truly are, and about the choice between running away and telling the truth, when not only lives are at stake, but the heart itself.
