#8k words of Will Byers POV because he deserves it

[total-serene560]

Fic Summary: A movie night, a DnD campaign, a Halloween party, an unhappy compromise, a rejection, and a letter. Mike and Will spend senior year trying to navigate the past, the future, and a growing tension between them that threatens to upend their friendship.

(A post-ST2 AU)

Ch.2 Snippet:

Mike breathes out, and Will starts to get up as he says, “Hey, let me drive you.” “No, it’s okay,” Will insists. “It’s raining like crazy out there,” Mike says. “I don’t…” Will trails off, he doesn’t know how to get out of this situation, “It’s fine, Mike.” “Seriously, just- please?” Will stares at the floor, shaking his head, “Don’t you have to go home?” “No,” Mike says, “Dinner’s not 'til seven.” “Oh,” Will says, and then he realizes he’s not gonna be able to avoid being alone with him any longer, so he looks over at Mike, who has his hand gripped tightly around the strap of his ratty old backpack as he stands there with his jaw clenched, looking all for the world like he just offered to defuse a bomb, and he nods, “Okay.” “Okay,” Mike says, like he’s bracing himself, “Okay."
