    Summary

    Will nodded quietly. Normally the idea of getting close to someone new terrified him, but there was something about that boy that pulled at him. Something beyond curiosity. For some reason, Will could see parts of himself reflected in him in ways he never really had with anyone else. So, against his better judgment, he decided to take the risk.

    “By the way... do you know D&D?”

    “Dungeons & Dragons?” the other boy asked “I’ve heard of it, but I don’t really know much about it.”

    “Oh. Right.” Will immediately looked down, embarrassed.

    “But,” he interrupted quickly, “I’d like to learn. If you wanna teach me.”

    And suddenly, Will found himself thinking about how strange life could be. Because just when he thought his world would stay exactly the same forever... He might actually be making a new friend. And for once, there were no supernatural monsters involved.

    Or:

    In the summer of 1985, Will Byers makes a new friend, one that is more like him than he could've imagined. This friendship might change a lot of things about how he sees himself and the world around him. Mike is not exactly thrilled about the idea, but he may learn some important things along the way.

    Summary

    "What are you doing here?" Will says, sounding exactly as he intended. Not welcoming, sharp.

    Mike's face is confused, but the emotion quickly fades to something formless, empty, as if Will had cut away all the bullshit Mike had been preparing for him with one question. Mike takes another step forward.

    "What, I can't visit my friend anymore?"

    Shameless jerk.

    "Yeah, right…” Will smiles bitterly, the rage in his chest warming his body, tearing him away from the porch. He takes two relaxed steps toward the dark-haired man. He can see how this has caught him off guard. "Because you needed me so much these past four months."

    ***

    Will goes to Montauk for his winter break.

    And unfortunately for him somehow Mike is here too.

    Summary

    "No," Will said quickly. "It's okay. He's going to be okay."

    Nancy turned, the shock freezing her features into something horrifying. "He doesn't have a pulse."

    Will held up his hands as he shook his head. "I know. But it—he—will be fine. You'll see."

    Nancy choked on a sob. "He's dead! How is he going to be okay?"

    Or: Four years after graduation, they're back in the Abyss, where a failing fight leads to Mike being bitten and losing everything about himself, except his love for Will Byers.
