Will Byers hates his life mainly because the one he loves most is in love with his sister and he's straight (so he thinks) Mike has also been ignoring Will the whole summer until school starts and he finds out something he would have never expected

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 🤞

In which Will has a huge crush on his straight, taken best friend Mike Wheeler. He wasn't planning on telling anyone about his feelings for Mike soon, Especially not Mike since he knew Mike would never like him back and it would ruin their whole friendship. But what if Mike did like him back? (WARNINGS: Swearing, Abuse and Homophobia. If any of these things annoy/trigger you, I recommend you to not read this). (Fanart on the cover isn't mine!)
