(1991) *Focused on Byler along with other small side plots* ⚠️Warning: Sensitive topics!

With a lawyer of a mother, a step-father constantly busy working too, and a hardly present college student of an older brother, Will Byers doesn't have anyone at home to look after him. He's transferred to a boarding school for boys where it is assured that everything is fine between all students and that they still have a good working environment. Is it all fine, though? "If you could find it in your heart to at least understand my feelings for you, I would give you the whole world. I love you." ⚠️TW:⚠️ - Drug/alcohol usage - Profanity - Homophobia - Gore; it's not that serious but there may be some mentions of blood or other triggering things - Mentions of SA/r4pe

｡･: ▍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
