    Summary

    Will looks down at the sheet, fingers worrying the edge. “I thought we were being careful. Taking our time.”
    Mike swallows. “I thought I was too.” He lets out a small, sad breath. “I was wrong.”
    Will looks back up. “So what are you saying?”
    Mike’s chest tightens. This is it. The place where he either steps back—or finally names the truth.
    “I’m saying I need something to change,” he says. “Or I’m going to break.”
    The words hang there, bare and undeniable.
    Will’s eyes flicker. “I don’t know if I can give you what you’re asking for. Not yet.”
    Mike nods. He’d known this answer was possible. Knowing doesn’t make it hurt less. It reminds him of the same words he said in that coffee shop three years ago.

    OR: A post-canon, slow-burn Byler story about growing up unevenly, loving at the wrong time, and finding your way back to each other once you’ve learned how to stay.

    (Title from the song Nauseous by Conan Gray)

    Summary

    “That is dumb.” She blinked. “I do not care if Will brings a boy. Will is Will. He is kind. He should be able to go with us and a boy and have fun.”

    “Exactly!” Dustin snaps. “Which is why I’m asking Will to be my prom date!”

    Or

    Dustin Henderson has a plan.
    It is a good plan.
    The fact that it may cause emotional fallout, accidental matchmaking, and unforeseen consequences is not his fault.

    Summary

    They said goodbye in 1989.
    In 1994, New York brings them face to face again.
    Between what they were, what they became, and what they still want, Mike and Will must confront a story that never truly ended.

    New York is a city of lights, music, and freedom… but also of fears that are never spoken out loud. Mike Wheeler arrives looking for his sister, unaware that he is also about to reunite with the one person capable of completely undoing him: Will Byers. His best friend. His deepest wound. His most forbidden desire.

    For years, both of them learned to speak in signals: glances that linger too long, silences that weigh more than words, gestures that hide truths impossible to name. Will tries to build a life of his own, with his art, his sensitivity, and a relationship that seems right… even though his heart never truly stopped belonging to Mike. Mike, on the other hand, runs from himself from his bisexuality, from what he feels, from everything that doesn’t fit the image the world expects him to be.
