    Summary

    It's 1992.
    Will Byers and Mike Wheeler are college roommates at NYU... and attached at the hip.
    When Will's nightmares take a turn for the worse, will Mike notice? Or will he hide his head in the sand?
    Will Will ask for help when he desperately needs it? Or will he try to deal with it on his own?
    Will either of them ever say out loud how much they need each other?

    OR

    Will accidentally turns to sleeping pills when his nightmares get really bad and Mike tries to parent him too hard.
    They cannot say out loud that they love each other, and the further Will falls into his drug issue, the harder it becomes to talk about

    Also, Max is an amazing friend and basically becomes their buffer
