March 30th, 1986. The day after the events of season 4.
Will and Mike arrive back in Hawkins. Home. But home isn't the same anymore.
Hawkins, their once beloved town, now looks more like an apocalyptic disaster. The two boys know it's them and the party who needs to save the town. However, this task proves to be difficult when new feelings emerge. Will, the kind, soft and self-sacrificial cleric, who is hopelessly devoted to his so called unrequited crush. And Mike, the loyal but sometimes rude, leader of the party, who's struggling with new emotions he doesn't know how to handle. How will they save the town? But most importantly, how is will going to be able to share a room with Mike, his life long best friend and crush?
Authors note:
Just to preface, English is not my first language so please be kind(:
Also, now that Stranger things 5 is only days away I thought I would finally release the story I've been writing just for fun over the past 1,5-2 years!
Hope you enjoy!

However, Will is soon taken into custody by his father, Lonnie, and is taken far away from Hawkins. Mike must come to terms with his own emotions and find his best friend. Can they survive together or get burnt by love? I hate to say that I have stopped writing this fic of Wattpad and have moved to A03 where I am currently rewriting it. I would love it if you read my retelling there! I would like to say though, if you want an incomplete ending, the first part is finished here. My story on A03 is the same title and Authors Name as on here. Love to see you there! Edit--4/10/24 I had taken this fic down for a while and spontaneously decided to put it back up. I wrote this at a very different point in my life and am not necessarily planning on returning to this story on A03 or Wattpad, however, the first section is complete and has a semi-definitive ending. If you decide to read the rest (aka S2), you will just need to leave a lot to imagination. I am reuploading this tonight at 8:00PM EST. Thank you again to anyone that has enjoyed this fic and supported me at any point! !!!Trigger Warnings!!! -Suicidal Thoughts -Abuse -Very Aggressive Language and Derogatory terms -possibly will be gore-ish subjects (I mean duh it's stranger things lol) (If there are any others I will add them here) #3 in #Will Byers--8/6/22 #11 in #tag--10/1/22 #33 in #byler--10/1/22 Enjoy!!!Complete

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
