❥ love is a life taker ✶ byler

Some years have passed and even though Will Byers goes to the same school as his (former) best friends, their friendship is not like it used to be: they've grown up and made new friends, so the party is not far from separating. Dustin, Lucas and Will are still the school nerds while Mike is now one of the popular kids.

At the same time, as if trying to deal with his broken friendship and longtime crush weren't enough, he keeps getting some glimpses of the Upside Down while being in the real world. The worst part is that he prefers not to tell anyone, as he can't trust his friends like he used to, so he tries to put the pieces together by himself.

(In this story the Byers stay in Hawkins and the Hoppers live with them.)
