I made a post Abt this concept agess ago which I can't be assed to go and find but the angst mannn

Will being so vulnerable, so detached from Mike that the mindflayer is able to garner control and tries to get him to be in Billy's role (oversee the creation of the mindflayers physical form and ensure things go smoothly) but Will breaks free and ends up in the upside down again (hiding in plain sight, some deep rooted instinct through the hive, being chased by the other flayed and cornered in the tunnels, or blacks put and has no idea how he ends up there)

Everyone thinks Will was one of the flayed that became a part of the mindflayer. Mike lays awake at night remembering that fight. It literally haunts him.

Meanwhile Will lays awake thinking about that fight. It also haunts him but for different reasons.

except they both see eachother as the sun and they both see themselves as the moon

Read end of post for tomorrow's ship

Ship requests always welcomed!

 • They kissed once when they were young, he was Will's first kiss. It was just while sitting on Lucas's bed and both were so embarrassed and flustered.

 • They get together during prom, the party decided to go together and Lucas saw how disappointed Will was at not being able to dance with someone, especially not a boy. So, Lucas breaks into one of the empty classrooms and asks Will to dance with him there, so he can have a proper dance for prom. It's sweet, and Lucas kisses him at the end of the night when Will says he can.

 • Lucas is  tripping and running to Will the moment he gets hurt, he worries so much but he hides it pretty well in front of other people.

 • Lucas saw Will look completely in awe of a couple in a movie once where to prince twirled the princess around in a hug. He decides to do it to Will one day and Will had been so thrown off and flustered, giggling to himself and blushing and Lucas LOVES it. It's a new way he greets Will.

 • Will and Erica get along pretty well, he's the only boy in the party she isnt mean or snappy with really. She's also the first person Lucas comes out to and tells about his crush on Will, shes the driving force for making Lucas tell Will how he feels.

 • Lucas sent Will photos during his time in Lenora, one being of him in his basketball jersey. Will paints him throwing the ball into hoop and sends it to him. Lucas hangs it up in his room, unsure of why his heart beats so fast when he looks at it 

 • They love laying in bed and reading comics together, their favorites are the Spider-Man comics.

 • One of Lucas's favorite hobbies in college is playing basketball, one of Will's favorite hobbies is watching Lucas play basketball and get all sweaty. Lucas has definitely pointed at Will and gone 'this one's for you!' And missed. Will found it Sweet though.

 • Lucas is very flirtatious with Will even before they get together, complimenting him and saying sweet things that always make Will red. Will hits Lucas's shoulder and goes "stop it" but he never means it, and Lucas knows that.

 • They are the most vulnerable with each other, both understanding the other and how they're outcasted in a way Mike and Dustin can't. They bonded over that easily, Lucas being the first in the party to realize Will's sexuality without having been told. He tells Will that he's bi a little while after he comes out, causing them to get even closer after everything and spending time alone.

the party cuddling with will takes up like half my mind at any given moment

im always thinking about the party cuddling with will 🥰 and they're basically always in the same position in my head

with lucas, I looooooove imagining him laying on top of will… will laying flat on his back and lucas sprawled out on top of him and between his thighs, will's arms wrapped around his neck. idk if you've watched heated rivalry but the scene of them cuddling in the cottage after saying i love you??? that but byclair!!! gives me demons… they chat the whole time and if lucas makes a joke will doesn't like then will bites(will is a biter in my mind. but like affectionately. but this is maybe projection)

byler are always either face to face or spooning and idk why but. in my mind mike is always just full body wrapping around will. their legs slot together and they're always trying to figure out how to get closer. if they're facing each other, mike likes to press their foreheads together and yap like there's no tomorrow. its an old habit from their childhood that will adoreessssssss

with dustin i imagine them both laying on their stomachs, dustin throwing an arm over his shoulders, heads tilted together… idk if im describing this well ☹️BUT point is they're tucked close and cozy!!! and also whoever wakes up first can just take a moment to admire the other 🥰 dustin always ends up with a leg hooked over wills hip and their arms are numb but its soooooooo nice! i feel like they cuddled like this once as kids and it just stuck

madwise are couch cuddlers! during sleepovers or movie nights they always end up sprawled across the couch together, one of them flat/reclining on their back and the other tucked between their body and the couch! one of my favorite ways to cuddle with my friends its so lovely
