This is my first ever story so it's not very well- written. This is a story about season 5 Byler from both Will and Mike's POV's.

There has been a time skip and the main party are all at least 17 or 18 years old. They all just finished their last year of high school and decided to celebrate with a journey over summer. Their parents have agreed to let them go under certain circumstances, this really shocks and excited the party shocked that they actually agree and excited that they finally get to go on a long car journey without their parents bossing them around saying 'no don't do that!' 'It's time to finish up!' 'Bed time!!'. The kids set off on their journey, which will go on for the whole summer, around the USA, stopping off at certain places. They play games, drink, overall just act like normal teenagers. ⚠️possible smut⚠️ This story includes: Max Lucas Dustin Mike El Will Susan Billy The parents at the beginning TW!! Mention of mental health issues Mention of abuse Mention of other triggering things!!

1/6/2026: hey guys this story is so old and it is so cringe but it's a part of me. my writing was so bad back then tho so pls bare with me this story is based on the song heather by conan gray, in which will is jealous of mike and eleven's relationship because he has a crush on mike. will believes mike will never like him back because mike is straight, but what if will is wrong and mike isn't straight? this story takes place during season three. it will be similar, but not exact. only certain events will be accurate to the actual show, but it'll mostly be stuff that i make up. 🛑 i do not own any of the characters from the actual show or any of the plot from the actual show! the things i do own is the plot that i make up or any oc's that could potentially be added!🛑 ⚠️ TRIGGER WARNING ⚠️ swears and/or slurs WILL be used in this story ONLY because the 80's were a very homophobic time, so i apologize in advance if anyone is hurt by it. i myself am part of the LGBTQ+ community, so i can completely understand if you get upset.

[This story takes place 8 months after season 4] Mike has always been in denial about his feelings towards Will. He had pushed him away multiple times because of this denial but now Will and his family is back in Hawkins. Will has been a wreck this past eight months of being back in Hawkins. He couldn't help but feel anxious about the situation at hand. He could feel Vecna regenerating and he was afraid, terrified. He was trying to play it off cool but he just couldn't. One night Will wakes up from a nightmare seeing and feeling Vecna and he doesn't want to be anywhere but back in Michael's room sleeping with him like when they were little. Because of Hawkins destruction and the "gates of hell" many people moved out of it. Hawkins is slowly being crept up upon by the upside down which is now making it's way into reality because of Vecna and there's only one way to stop it and Will knows it. (Started Dec, 2, 22 Finished Dec, 12, 22)

When Mike goes to California to surprise Will and El for spring break he instead discovers things about himself. As a teenager the struggle between love and friendship is so hard to find. Especially if your true love is your best friend... Contains some language, homophobic language in the chapter "bad dreams again" (This story takes place with no vecnea in Hawkins or need for El to have powers.)

"Hey Mike?" Will looks down at his hands while sitting on mikes couch "Yeah?" Mike sits next to Will and gets closer to him. "Why did you change? Why are you so..weird around me? Why are you so mean?" Mike can feel his eyes tearing up so does Will. ( THIS STORY WAS DISCONTINUED)

☆.｡.:*The 80's aren't a great time to be gay- at least in Hawkins, Indiana. But Mike and Will have been secretly dating for years, and everything is perfect. Or maybe it's more accurate to say that everything WAS perfect... ☆.｡.:* includes mature themes. ©itsjustbyler 2019
