About fin and Noah being distant after stranger things ended but a fan meet up in Paris where they stay together in the same hotel room changes everything

"Why?" "Because you are clearly not okay. If this is what it takes to make it better, I don't see any issue with that." Will could see plenty of issues with it. The fact that they were supposed to be best friends and now they're all but fucking each other to name one. To name another, the fact that Will is in love with him and is unsure of Mike's feelings, just like he had always been. Another, the fact that he felt like he was taking advantage of Mike's kindness to get his rocks off and find some sleep. There were too many things wrong with this. or Will avoids Hawkins for many reasons, Mike Wheeler being one of them. After a dreaded visit to Hawkins and a week of risky activities, Will retreats to New York to get away, once again. In a twist of fate, Mike becomes his next-door neighbor. In a fit of sleep deprivation, Will asks him for a favor. One that blurs the lines of their relationship, the both of them questioning everything.

As spring break starts Michael Wheeler goes to California to spend time with his ex girlfriend, who was now his girl best friend, Eleven, or now known around as Jane; and William Byers, more commonly known as Will. Almost as soon as they meet up once more, Mike quickly realizes how much Will and him have drifted, and how much closer Will is to a new boy, Ezra. *story will be told from Mikes pov (point of view)* Date started: 2/14/23

After a painful breakup and an isolating experience at university, Will Byers returns to Hawkins feeling exhausted, lonely, and unsure of who he's become. Hoping for comfort in the familiar, he reconnects with his longtime best friend, Mike Wheeler, only to realize that the feelings he buried years ago never truly disappeared.

The first four months had been... easy. Almost too easy. Hawkins had settled into something that felt like normal life again, the kind they used to dream about when everything was monsters and fear and survival. There were no portals tearing open the sky, no shadows lurking behind every wall. Just school, late-night bike rides, movies, and the kind of laughter that didn't feel forced anymore. Mike and Lucas spent most afternoons arguing about nothing important. Max rolled her eyes at both of them but never left. She and Lucas were still solid-strong in that quiet, unshakable way that didn't need to prove itself. Dustin had somehow become even louder, even more confident, especially lately. And El... El smiled more now. Not the small, uncertain smiles from before, but real ones. And then there was the thing no one really talked about, but everyone knew. A month ago, Dustin and El had kissed. It had been awkward and surprising and somehow perfect at the same time. Dustin had tripped over his own words for an entire week after that, and El had just laughed every time, like she finally understood something about the world she hadn't before. Everything was good. Everything was right. So why did it feel so wrong? (What happened before this story is on my tiktok @bylershipper4ever)
