Summary
Mike looked at him unimpressed. “See you say that. You say that. But you never actually mean it.” He flung his hands out, gesturing at him. “You’re always making stupid promises that you can’t keep.”
Will gaped at him. This was ludicrous. “Name one promise that I haven’t kept!”
“You keep leaving!” Mike burst out. He practically shouted it. If the outburst took him by surprise, he didn’t show it. “Everytime I just get you back you end up leaving again. And it was fine at first, I guess. With the Upside Down and the MindFlayer. Like at least then we knew how to bring you back. But now there’s nothing taking you away but you still aren’t here. And I can’t figure out why. I’ve racked my brain trying to understand what’s going on with you but I just don’t get it! We’re supposed to be best friends but lately it’s only felt like that on my side of things.”
____The Upside Down is gone. Or so everyone keeps telling him. But Will knows the truth. You can burn all the vines and close all the gates. But you can’t flush out a virus once it’s already been spread. After all, how do you kill something that’s intertwined with the very root of Hawkins without affecting the real world?

Summary
“Your bat gave me a surprise last night,” Will continues, voice low.
Dustin shifts uncomfortably. “Will—”
“But there’s something you didn't tell me,” Will says, stopping and staring at Dustin, as he sinks back into his pillow. “Something kind of crucial.” He leans forward slightly, lowering his voice even more, turning the words into a furious whisper.
“You didn’t care to tell me that he’s a… vampire.”
or; Will starts college with unexpected excitement. His roommate is funny, if a little strange. But when he ends up in the infirmary with a broken arm, asking Will to look after his pet, a damn bat, Will is pulled into a situation that is anything but ordinary.

Summary
Beauty was in the eye of the beholder, but Mike disagreed.
There was no world where anyone could argue that Will was only beautiful to certain people, because that simply was not true.
Will had been personally crafted by Aphrodite herself and Mike knew, without question, that if a blind person were to press their fingertips against Will's face and dragged them across his skin, they could tell that the boy poured heart-stoppening, maddening beauty from every single one of his pores.
***
Ever since Henry died alongside the Upside Down, Mike spent his nights listening to the breathing of one Will Byers right next to him on his bed.
Mike stared, and he wanted.

Summary
“It’s like he…” Robin trailed off.
Will raised his eyebrows at her imploringly.
Robin fiddled with her hair. “So you guys read comic books and all that nerdy shit, right?”
Lucas scoffed.
“So you know how there’s always this one supervillain with this really weird interest in the heroine?” Robin asked. “Like he thinks she’s too good for everyone else and should just… like… be with him?”
Will’s cheeks were turning a hot scarlet. “Robin–”
