To Mr. Byers

Summary:

Will Byers was eighteen when he left Hawkins and never looked back. He had left everything back in his hometown: his trauma, his friends, his first love, but his dreams. Now thirty-three, Will has just married his mentor and is living his best life in Boston, until he receives a letter from a certain William Jacob Wheeler from Hawkins.

Chapter Text

August 07, 1993

Hi, Mike.

Sorry, it took me a while to reach out, but I think you’ll understand. How has Rhode Island been treating you? I know we promised to move there together, but after how we left things back in Hawkins, the promise had become too hard to keep. I just bought an apartment here in Boston. I think you’ll like it here, it has clouds unlike Lenora. Plus, we can be just ourselves here. If you ever find yourself brave enough, here is my address. I’ll be waiting for you.

Love,
Will Byers.
