Three years, nothing changed. After countless attempts of trying to hint it, it was clear; Mike was too oblivious to know, much less like Will back. But things are still changing, becoming even more 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙛𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜 by the minute. And now, the story that had started was up to the universe to finish. 𝙈𝙞𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙡 𝙒𝙝𝙚𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙧 should've been feeling at peace for this. After a long period of time, everything must have been in place now, back to how it was. Except it isn't. After Vecna had been defeated, Mike assumed that everything would finally fit together, like a puzzle- except that it didn't. Something was off, something was wrong- it was 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙛𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜, and he didn't know how to fix it. Two boys, everything all over the place- how much 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙛𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣 could there be? 𖦹 * .

While trying to do so, he develops a close friendship with Eleven and a new kid at school, whose open sexual fluidity gives a great opportunity for advice. But when guilt and jealousy take over, things don't go smooth for either of them. (slowburn) (ALSO THERE IS NO SMUT IN THIS BOOK) takes place after the plot of s3 just in case you're here after s4 🤞
