｡･: ▍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 Byler fanfic where there's no monsters and most of the party doesn't know each other.. I'm aware there was a fanfic like this called the same thing by itsjustbyler but I haven't read that in 3 years so I didn't copy anything (edits might not be the most frequent as I have other fanfics I'm working on rn!)

Mike and Will got to the same college. Yale. Mike and Will share a dorm together. But it's extremely hard. Mike always had his girlfriend over. Will always gets this feeling that he's not familiar with. [Under construction. I'm going to fix any mistakes that I made and maybe perhaps delete scenes that I don't like. My writing has changed so I'll like to reread this book and fix some things. People have pointed things out so now I'm FINALLY going in and fixing them.]
