    Summary

    “No. No, that can’t be right.”

    “You don’t know anything about yourself, why is this so hard to believe?”

    “Because I’m gay.”

    Will freezes.

    Mike is confused. He doesn’t know what he’s talking about. He barely knows his own name.

    “Mike, you’re not gay.”

    Summary

    In the summer of 1989, Will has two goals. Technically three.

    1. Find a job.
    2. Save up for college. See aforementioned goal #1.
    3. Get over Mike Wheeler.

    It’s going badly.

    Or: The summer after graduation, Will learns how to move on, and Mike learns how to live with change.

    Summary

    “We need to get less mainstream. We need more rumors. We need controversy.”

    “Okay,” Will says. “So what, you wanna share a microphone again?”

    “No,” Mike says, shaking his head, expression deadly serious. “No, we need to escalate.”

    Will swallows hard. “What do you mean?”

    Mike shrugs, suddenly lowering his gaze, shifting his weight a little. “I think we should kiss.”

    Mike and Will are in a band together and decide to make out on stage. To be controversial, of course. No other reason.

    Summary

    “Your boyfriend?” she prompted, speaking quite slowly and carefully as though she was talking to a toddler, “You know, the fake boyfriend you use as an excuse every time someone asks you out?”

    Will blinked surprisedly, then cracked up laughing, “What?” he said, “Fake boyfriend?” he repeated, grinning, “You do realise — you know my boyfriend isn’t fake, right? I do have a boyfriend. For the past year and a half, actually.”

    Will Byers’ boyfriend is something of a myth amongst the residents of RISD. Nobody has met him, he supposedly helped to save Will’s life, and he goes to Brown. Seriously… who is this guy?

    Or; Byler from the perspective of Will’s college friends.
