Eight months apart has given everyone the chance to grow and change, though it may not be for the better. Mike is ecstatic for his holiday in Cali, though the distance has certainly taken its toll on his relationship. Maybe the trip will mend his bond with El, or form some new ones...
~Takes place in season 4
~Content warnings are given at the start of chapters
~For the sake of comfort, the party has been aged up to around 16-17, making them year 11s (or 'Juniors' as you Americans would say). This shouldn't effect the storyline too much, it's honestly just so the characters are a bit more mature.

1/6/2026: hey guys this story is so old and it is so cringe but it's a part of me. my writing was so bad back then tho so pls bare with me this story is based on the song heather by conan gray, in which will is jealous of mike and eleven's relationship because he has a crush on mike. will believes mike will never like him back because mike is straight, but what if will is wrong and mike isn't straight? this story takes place during season three. it will be similar, but not exact. only certain events will be accurate to the actual show, but it'll mostly be stuff that i make up. 🛑 i do not own any of the characters from the actual show or any of the plot from the actual show! the things i do own is the plot that i make up or any oc's that could potentially be added!🛑 ⚠️ TRIGGER WARNING ⚠️ swears and/or slurs WILL be used in this story ONLY because the 80's were a very homophobic time, so i apologize in advance if anyone is hurt by it. i myself am part of the LGBTQ+ community, so i can completely understand if you get upset.Complete

˚ ༘♡ ⋆｡˚In which Will returns from a long, sun-soaked summer in California looking... different. Taller, tanner, maybe even hotter. Mike almost doesn't recognize his childhood best friend - not just because of the way Will looks now, but because of how he feels around him. Things with El haven't been right for a while, and Mike's starting to question everything - including who he really is, and who he really wants. As the school year starts and old friendships are reignited, Mike has to face the truth: maybe what he felt for Will wasn't just friendship. And maybe it still isn't. ˚ ༘♡ ⋆｡˚ Started: 07/06/2025 Ended: ongoing Includes mature themes I'll try to post atleast 2-3 chapters every day! Pre-apologising if I don't!Complete

I love you." ⚠️TW:⚠️ - Drug/alcohol usage - Profanity - Homophobia - Gore; it's not that serious but there may be some mentions of blood or other triggering things - Mentions of SA/r4peComplete
