The boy from kindergarten. - Byler

When Will Byers moves away from Hawkins in kindergarten, he leaves behind a promise - and a best friend who never forgets him.

Years later, the Byers family returns, and Will enters Hawkins High with no memory of the boy who once meant everything to him. But Mike Wheeler remembers. Every crayon drawing, every pinky promise, every goodbye.

Now caught in the mess of teenage years, internal battles, and growing feelings, Mike and Will find themselves slowly orbiting each other again - but things aren't as simple as they were on the playground. Especially not with Eleven in the picture.

Or, Mike wheeler was a yearner for Will Byers but won't admit it.
