(I'm bad at summaries, sorry). Hawkins, IN. Summer. 1985 (A lot of time ends up passing though). Will can't get over his feelings for his best friend, no matter how much he wants to. He tries to hide it from the party, his mom, his brother, Hopper. The only person who knows is the only other gay kid in Hawkins, who just so happens to be in Will's art class. Will has no idea how to go on. Mike shouldn't feel the way he does. He has a girlfriend, whom he really likes. But, for some reason, he can't stop staring at Will Byers. That new kid from Will's art class doesn't exactly make Mike's life easy though. Sam wants to start over. He wants to forget about who he used to be. About, the boy. He tries to keep his head low in Hawkins, small Indianan towns aren't known for their progressive views on queer people after all. He succeeds until he meets Will Byers. God, why did he always have to fall for the cute artsy boys?
