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 takes a summer job in a small town restaurant, and Mike is the son of the restaurants owners- oh, and also a huge asshole. In which Will is set on avoiding Mike- but Mike is set on getting him. ©itsjustbyler 2020

☆.｡.:*What if the cute girl you met at the party wasn't a girl at all?

Mike realizes he has some feelings for Will. He wants to get rid of them but he just can't. He goes to the party for help with his problem. But during all this Will has problems of his own. His father still stays at his house. This causes Will to not be himself half of the time. Get your popcorn, this is a long one. tw: cursing, homophobic slurs, sh started: 03/17/23 ended: 05/03/23 Highest Rankings; #1 in #mill [09/27/23] #1 in #stfanfic [09/27/23]
