   Summary

   “I forgot my wallet in the car.” Mike blurts.
   “..you have a bike.” Will says. “Notoriously.”
   OR

   Mike Wheeler is a coward and Will Byers refuses to move on.
   A Byler centric conformity gate fic where I attempt to fix all of the ways the duffers ruined their show. Lots of chaos and repressed Mike Wheeler crash outs.
