This is an original story that I made from a 4 panel Byler fan art piece I saw. It takes place in Hawkins in  1986 while the war is still going on, and Will has moved back to Hawkins. Everything that happened in season 4 still happened and this is after spring break.

Please know that this is my first fanfic and I am still learning. So please be patient if and when I make mistakes.

This is ongoing and I am in school so I may not finish for a while but I will try to as fast as I can.

This is technically a Byler story but you can take it how you like, if you ship mileven that is okay.

The characters that are mentioned in this are
- Will Byers, 15
- Mike Wheeler, 15
- Joyce Byers, 44
- Eleven Hopper, 14
- Johnathan Byers, 19

You can read it a few different ways,
1: Read it in wills perspectives 
2. Read it in mikes perspective 
3. Go back and forth between perspectives

After the events of Vecna, Will Byers and Mike Wheeler have grown closer than ever before. Perhaps it was not seeing each other for a year, or maybe the tension in the air during their long car ride, but Mike and El are no longer an item and Will's confusion over his best friend continues to grow... *** Updates every Tuesday and Friday (I promise I'm trying to be consistent but school is super time consuming!!!) *** I do not own any of these characters or the plot etc. All creds to the Duffer Brothers. *** Set after Season 4, partially vol. 2 compliant. *** Completed: 08/11/2022

Since we were all so wrongfully robbed of Byler in season 4, I've made the executive decision to write this. β™‘οΈŽ β™‘οΈŽ β™‘οΈŽ β™‘οΈŽ β™‘οΈŽ β™‘οΈŽ β™‘οΈŽ β™‘οΈŽ β™‘οΈŽ β™‘οΈŽ β™‘οΈŽ What the hell do you do when you've fallen hard for your best friend? And if it all seemed hopeless before, he has a girlfriend, and most definitely isn't into guys. But what if he is, what if he feels the same way? But what happens when the world is falling apart around you, and it's up to you, and your nerdy friends, to save it? Cover art by Noodles_and_Tea (on TikTok). Lover her <3! Will and Mike are both 16 here, but will get older towards the end. (Story set in Hawkins, Indiana).
