Hello! This is my first story, using my head-cannons and au. If you are unaware, this is a Byler (Will Byers+Mike Wheeler) fanfic so if you are homophobic, kindly leave. In this au, Will Byers works in a flower shop. His love for gardening pursued him to open his own flower shop (Floral Mural) where he also paints and draws most of the time when he's alone. Mike however, decided to put his foot forward in being a coffee barista (Deja Brew), which he appreciates since he's always tired. When Mike wants to get flowers for a certain person, how will he react to the bowl-cutted boy?
"I-I live in the dorms," Will insists. His breath is shaky. "I live in Thompson Hall." His chest heaves. His vision swims.
Mike's face changes. The confusion is back.
"Thompson Hall?" he repeats, like Will just said something in a language he doesn't understand.
Will nods. Too fast.
Mike stares at him.
And then-
His expression breaks. His face goes pale. His hands drop to his sides.
And when he speaks again, his voice is quiet.
"Will," he says, "You haven't lived in the dorms since sophomore year."
