Did anyone appoint Will as their favorite character in the first episode cause I sure as hell did
This is what my 2 am mind came up with since I didn’t want to write out an actual fic here are some things for it.
As Will gets older he begins to feel lonelier even with his friends. So even though the others don’t realize it they begin to leave Will behind.
Mike comes to the Byers house more often for Jane (Hopper and Joyce are married). Lucas and Max and occasionally Dustin are hanging out. Steve works at his dads shop instead of going to college so Dustin is typically there and gets a summer job there thanks to Steve. With El it’s like he was close to her even before Hopper and Joyce got married. He’d do anything for her. So he tries his best to stop these feelings he has for Mike because he wants her to be happy. So Will is happy for them, as a best friend and brother. Even if he still gets a knot in his chest when he sees them kiss. And he knows the she knows. Like when Mike will casually announces how much he loves her in front of him her gaze meets his and her eyes soften sadly. Or when Mike calls their house for her she’ll grip his arm and give him a sad smile. Then there’s times when they’d lay in bed together listening to his stereo with no words between them.
Lucas and Dustin growing distant from him hurts him just as much. They are…were? his best friends. He misses hearing Lucas complain about his sister over the com or showing him how to use his slingshot, he misses his calming presence. How they complain that they’re the only sane ones in the group. He misses Dustin’s smile and how he’d try to light up a room. When his days were at their worst and Dustin would be there asking if he wanted to come over and read comics. He misses them both. So he tries to meet up with them whenever they can.
Max he misses. Her tough exterior and her loving and soft core. He misses the weekly skateboard lessons that he knows he did terrible at but she still met with him for it even when they decided not to skateboard that day. She always seemed to see through his bullshit, behind those fake smiles and she never treated him like he was glass because she understood.
He still sees them all at school and they talk and laugh but it’s not exactly the same to him. Their arcade and DnD meet ups grow thinner and far in between. And just all of the group hanging out at once becomes difficult when other plans arise.
But Mike seeming to turn away from him pained him the most. Seeing his best friend since forever slowly pull away from him. What did he do? Did he find out? Does he hate me? Mike he loved and loved and would hold him and cherish him with all that he was. Will honestly thought that things would turn out differently.
What happened to the party that would do anything for each other. That would stay awake until 2 am on the com just to enjoy each other’s company. He doesn’t blame El. He doesn’t blame Max. He doesn’t blame Mike or Dustin or Lucas. He blames himself.
[Note: somehow this turned into Ryers so here you go, read ahead if you desire it. ]
Richie had arrived to live with his aunt Karen and uncle Ted around a year or two ago. Richie and Mike don’t necessarily get along at first but in some weird way understand each other. Although Richie was never brought into ‘the party’ he does occasionally join them when they come over and on arcade nights and does hang out with Max and they bond over skateboarding and how shit life can be. But then there’s Will. Richie wonders how in such a shitty world that does nothing but to screw Will he turns out kind. Since Richie and Mike look alike unintentionally he begins to hang out with Richie because of his feelings and deep down he knows Mike is leaving him behind. He wants returned feelings but he also wants his best friend back. Richie realizes Will’s feelings for Mike a month or so after he arrives. And doesn’t bring it up to Will until a couple months after that. Richie does fall for Will not exactly realizing it at first but then eventually it hits him that he is in love with him. Richie wants Will to see him as Richie instead of Mike’s subsitute. He wants Will to love him. To look at him like he carries the world and it pisses him off that Mike doesn’t see how much Will cares for him. How lucky he is. The thing is Will does know though that the two are different. The slight difference in their voices. Just a speck of color in Richies eyes that isn’t in Mike’s. And the obvious being differences in personality.
Richie is aware of how Will is feeling with his friends and the loneliness that is consuming him. He notes the sadness that flickers in his eyes when someone has plans. The fake smile when he sees Jane and Mik together. So Richie tries to do the best he can do to make Will happy. When someone has other plans or when Will is left alone, Richie will invite him out. To the new diner that opened in place of Benny’s diner, to see a movie, on a drive when Will can’t sleep. But then Will is the one who begins to ask. His smiles widen when he sees Richie throughout the day. He asks if he’d want to go to a fair with him a town over. He invites Richie over to spend the night even when he knows Mike is free. Even when Richie is feeling like everything is crashing down. There is Will, holding him with worry in his eyes but not pushing it. They believe the other to be their light. One night Richie climbs into Will’s window with a spur of the moment thought on his mind. “Let’s go on a road trip!” Richie remembers that Will has never been to the ocean. So he thought they could go through Ohio and Pennsylvania maybe even stop by New York and then off to New Jersey or Go through Ohio to West Virginia, Virginia to Maryland. They wouldn’t even have to get a room at a motel they could pull the tents out of storage. Will thinks he’s insane when he tells him this. He knows how protective Joyce is of him. And though she knows Richie and cares for him too Will doesn’t know if she’d allow it. He didn’t even think about what Jim might say. Although Will isn’t as close to him as El is, he still is protective of him. Plus Richie hasn’t had the best interactions with Jim. First week for example, Richie got to Hawkins he ended up in front of him at the police station. Besides his parents weren’t the only problem. The money for the trip was another. They both decided they’d take extra shifts at work and save up all their money and leave in a couple months. It took some convincing with Joyce and Jim but he won them over. El had a smile on her face when she found out. She was happy on this development. Will had been laughing and smiling more and she planned to thank Richie Tozier one day. She had noticed the shift in their group and wanted to fix it when she saw how it was effecting everyone especially Will. A group meeting would be necessary if they wanted to fix this rift. But she’d ask when Will came back. El wanted him to enjoy his time.
Usually he’d be a tired mess in the morning but when Richie pulled into their driveway at 5 AM he was buzzing with joy. There Richie was leaning on the car they’d be spending a week in with grin on his face. “William my good fellow!” Richie said with his worst old English accent , fully knowing it would make Will smile. “He’s ridiculous” Will thought, but it didn’t stop a smile from spreading across his face as he moved towards him with bags in hand.
Well there it is i hope you enjoyed it! Feel free to use this to write an actual fic or branch off from this.

good grief. you think you’re ever just going to go for dentures to keep it simple? or is that procedure currently too much for the amount of fixes you just need now?
there’s zero need for dentures. I just have some cavities. Wat.
To ze guy I like ze most..
Hey you. Yea, you. I like you. Oh, erase that. I LOVE you. It’s really unexpected but yes, I do love you. This is somewhat my “preview” for what I am about to say to you or rather, something about you. So.. here it goes..
First of all, SCREW YOU for hurting my feelings. I HATE YOU. YOU’RE THE WORST. Second, I regret saying that I hated you. Third, I’m sorry if I made you cry. Fourth, I want to forget all the things that happened between us and just go back in being friends. Lastly, I AM STILL IN LOVE WITH YOU.
I am still in the process of moving on. Loljk. So much drama. -.- But I’m still in the process of accepting that WE ARE JUST FRIENDS. Maybe I am really in the friend zone. -_- I miss you, though. Every time we go home together. I miss that. I wish I could go back already. But just like what you’ve said, I need space. Joke. Ugh. I hope you’re missing me too. Wala kang kakulitan sa jeep eh. :P Lalala. Dear You, don’t you think sixteen’s too young to be played with? Your dark twisted games when I loved you so. I should’ve known.. Kanta ko para sayo. Joke. J Mikmik, can you NOT stop loving me? Oh, gosh. I’m pathetic. D: Ignore that line. Just forget what you feel about me. Umaasa pa rin kasi ako eh. Oh well, papel. Baka sabihin mo nageemote nanaman ako. I just want to write this post. I don’t even know why. Hm. Bye. I love you, Rex.
