𓆩 ♡ 𓆪 hawkins teaches you how to survive monsters. it never teaches you how to survive love. 𓆩 ♡ 𓆪 Will Byers learned how to hide. In the Upside Down, in the silence, in the way he keeps his heart locked like a door that should never be opened. Mike Wheeler smiles like the world hasn't already ended. Like he doesn't know he's the most dangerous thing Will has ever loved. ✧ This is a story about unspoken longing, about stolen glances in the halls of Hawkins, about letters never written and confessions burned before they could exist. ✧ Loving like this feels like a sin. Wanting someone too much is just as terrifying as the monsters in the dark. ✦ Because some love stories are real even when they're never spoken aloud. Even when they hurt. ✦ ❝ some loves don't need a name to exist ❞ - 🕯️ a Byler fanfiction 🖤 slow burn • angst • mutual pining 𓂃𓈒𓏸
