Summary
“I’ll be there though!”
Lucas smiles bitterly. “Yeah, you and no one else.”
Will blinks. “What do you mean? We’re all going.”
“First I’m hearing of it, then.”
“Of course we’re all going, Lucas! This is your big game! We’d be crazy to miss it.”
“Yeah, except Mike and Dustin are blowing it off to go to the last Hellfire meeting.”
Will’s mouth opens, closes, opens again, closes again. His stomach flips and makes him feel empty and sick all at once.

Summary
“I’m still here, Max,” she whispers. There’s no one else here, so she could speak up if she wanted to, but the moment feels too private for that. Too vulnerable. “I haven’t left. None of us have.” Physically speaking this is a lie. People have come and gone and continued on without Max. But El does not hold this against them. She knows that, even if they are physically in their homes, they are still thinking about Max, hoping and waiting just like El. She is just doing it differently.
“I’m not going anywhere.” Her voice wavers a little bit, perhaps from a lack of use over the last few hours. “I’m staying right here, for as long as you need.”

Summary
“What do you say, Byers? You up for a drive?”
Will laughs again, softly and intimately. His cheeks are flushed from both the chill of the night, and the excitement of a new vehicle. He runs a hand along the bright red exterior of the truck, an excited glint in his eyes. “Yeah. Sure."

When they get home, Lucas practically runs into the house, throws their coat and backpack on the ground in the front entrance, and makes their way to the basement where they keep their craft supplies.
They’re gonna make Will the best Valentine ever.
or: two valentine’s days, ten years apart.

Summary
Will Byers is fifteen years old, and there is a monster living in his chest.
It's been there for awhile, over two years now. It was quiet for a lot of that, sleeping maybe, save for an occasional low, throaty growl rumbling beneath Will's heartbeat, or a provoked stretch in which the edge of its nails grazed lightly across Will's ribcage. But for the past few months, something has shaken the beast into emergence from its lengthy hibernation.
He's getting to know the monster well. If Will drew it, it would be a dark, bristled creature, clawed and fanged with green, green eyes.
part i. is a general Will coming out, coming to terms, etc. fic taking place in high school. It can be read on its own.
part ii. is college era, and gets into the ship pairing.- Language:

our song is a slamming screen door
sneaking out late tapping on your window
when we're on the phone and you talk real slow
cause it's late and your momma don't know
our song is the way you laughBookmarked by icepools
