After everything with the Upside Down, Will Byers isn’t the same. Haunted by memories and feeling fragile, he drifts through his days quietly, hiding the storm inside. Most people don’t know how to help him… except you. Always patient, always gentle, you sit with him when he can’t sleep, hold his hand when fear creeps back, and listen when the world feels too heavy. The only problem? Will Byers’s heart is hopelessly stuck on Mike Wheeler, the oblivious sunshine boy who can’t see the love that surrounds him. As you spend more time caring for Will, a quiet bond grows between you—a bond that could be the very thing that helps him heal. But can Will’s heart make room for you before it’s too late, or will love slip away without ever being noticed?
After the Upside Down, Will’s quieter but softer than ever, clinging to the people he trusts. You and Will are close, but Mike is near too, and his heart feels all messy. It’s a small, soft triangle, full of warmth, stolen glances, and almost-confessions.
