Tension, yearning, real life threatening danger, and slow burn goodness 🔥 Will has been mostly honest about himself to everyone, but he still has one secret. Mike's world is spinning because, for once, he is not oblivious, and Will was pretty obvious about who his crush was, and the dots are finally connecting for Mike but are they connecting too late? And will Mike survive long enough to find out? The story is mostly using canon stuff from the show, but I've changed a lot from season 5 vol 2 from chapter 7 onwards. Its basically an alternate ending where Mike and Will actually admit their feelings, and byler happens😁 inspired by some of the cool theories I wish we got in season 5. I don't own any of the characters or the original story.

(i wrote this 3 YEARS AGO! i'm aware the writing and plots are horrible. i've grown as a writer. i recommend reading my other book that i'm writing currently, "hypnotize") - will got bullied pretty much everyday. mike wheeler was his biggest bully. he always picked on will for the most stupidest things.. but what if mike had a crush on him .. (kids are in high school in this story)

This is my first love story hope you guys enjoy let me know if you want a part two to this story Mike is confused at the moment he loves his best friend Will ever since he met him in kindergarten and he has had a crush on him for a while, but when Will got lost Mike found El (Eleven) now mike has feelings for the both of them who will he choose? (If you seen the show you will know what I mean when I said Will got lost if you don't know then don't read this watch the series if you haven't already amazing show and well made)

Story based after season 4. It contains so many gates: Lettergate, loverslakegate,churchgate and painting gate. words: 20k for now (1100-2500 per chapter) Kudos: 1 I sit up -Sorry did I woke you up?-Will walks out of his room. -Uh? No no don't worry- I say nervously. -I just need a glass of water.- He walks to the kitchen. As I look at him I'm feeling something stronger than I've felt all those times I felt weird around him. Then I notice. This feeling isn't normal.

*So I never meant to make this story sad but towards the end it gets noticeably SAD.* Mike Wheeler creates a group chat with all of his friends. Sit through and read their funny and maybe slightly questionable... conversations. WARNINGS: Byler SAD ENDING

Will Byers has slowly lost his memories over the years due to the lingering effects of Vecna. So Mike Wheeler, the storyteller, reads to him, hoping that their story, might guide Will back to himself. Back to him. (The Notebook inspired)

VOLUME 2 + FINALE REWRITE + BYLER + FAV CHARACTER COMEBACKS + BETTER EPILOGUE

ACTIVE STORY!! Royal Au Mike and Will are princes from different kingdoms. But when they catch eyes at a party. Their lives change forever.

WARNING EXPLICIT CONTENT: detailed smut/homophobia/mentions of PTSD/trauma Mike blurts out, "Just. You were right. I am a selfish asshole. I'm selfish for never loving you just as a friend. And I'm an asshole for never having the strength to tell you." Mike looks down, nervously fidgeting with his hands. "I'm sorry Will-" Will cuts him off sternly. "How long?" Mike looks up, confused, "W-What?" Will repeats himself; his tone remains the same, "How long, Mike. How long have you felt this way?" ------- This fic has a Spotify playlist to listen along with!
