Summary
Will Byers hadn't the words to use at twelve to explain just why the invasion of the Mind Flayer left shame hot across his cheeks. He didn't dare explore why his memories of Vecna's voice were the times he'd heard it praising him, a lilt of adoration twisted up in his possessive tone. He didn't think to tell his friends just why his body remembered Vecna's presence before his mind.
For years, Will had managed to hide the sides of himself that were nauseated by affection and writhed under intimacy, but after one late night argument in the winter darkness of the Wheeler kitchen, Will finds himself wrapped up in Mike's plan to heal that part of him he'd once swore to never let anyone see.Still... Will can't help but wonder how many weeks of Mike touching him like a lover he can take before losing the few splinters of sanity he'd had left.
TLDR;
Will has severe intimacy issues due to the predatory nature of how Vecna used/treated him as a child, and Mike decides to fix that through touch-exposure-therapy (He's not the smartest boy, cut him some slack).Bookmarked by spritearight

Summary
“Your boyfriend?” she prompted, speaking quite slowly and carefully as though she was talking to a toddler, “You know, the fake boyfriend you use as an excuse every time someone asks you out?”
Will blinked surprisedly, then cracked up laughing, “What?” he said, “Fake boyfriend?” he repeated, grinning, “You do realise — you know my boyfriend isn’t fake, right? I do have a boyfriend. For the past year and a half, actually.”
Will Byers’ boyfriend is something of a myth amongst the residents of RISD. Nobody has met him, he supposedly helped to save Will’s life, and he goes to Brown. Seriously… who is this guy?
Or; Byler from the perspective of Will’s college friends.
