｡･: ▍𝐓𝐄𝐀𝐌 Will Byers and Mike Wheeler were practically inseparable. They had been best friends for nearly a decade and planned to remain that way for eternity. Nobody was capable of destroying the unique bond they shared except for Will's step-sister, Eleven. She wasn't intentionally trying to sabotage their friendship. In fact, she had no knowledge about Will's massive crush on Mike. However, when Mike flew to California for spring break, she wanted him all to herself. He seemed to be perfectly fine with that. He loved her more than anyone - or so Will thought. After El is brought to a top-secret location to regain her telekinetic powers, Mike is finally able to spend some time with Will. Her absence is enough to make him realize that she isn't the one he loves after all. © BYLERHOE ┊ W. BYERS X M. WHEELER

A couple of months after moving away, the Byers family and Eleven come back to Hawkins to celebrate the holidays.

He is actually in love with his best friend, Will Byers. The two best friends will have to go through a lot, together, during these holidays vacations that were initially supposed to be so calm... ** This is the English version **

Will was in California now, but Mike had promised to come over. So that's what he did. But he didn't seem to have come for Will. Everything starts to build up inside Will as he slowly comes undone.
