Hawkins, 1978

༶•┈┈୨♡୧┈┈•༶

Will and Mike met in kindergarten and decided to become friends. Easy! They had lots of fun together, playing in the sand box and on the swings. They'd play with Mike's Star Wars toys and Will would bring his trucks to carry all the little Jedi's and Darth Vader.

Nancy (Mike's older sister) and Johnathan (Will's older brother) knew each other too from their 6th grade class, so their moms would set up playdates for the two boys at the park and their older siblings could watch them. Today was one of those days. Will and Mike played with Will's new truck in the sand under one of the play structures, giggling and laughing when one of them would 'accidentally' get sand on the other. They had a fun time. Until it was time to go.

Both boys were exhausted from playing, Mike already passed out in Nancy's arms as Johnathan picked up a very tired Will. The two older siblings talked for a bit before Johnathan noticed the time on his watch.

"Welp, gotta get this one home. See ya, Nancy." He says, turning away to leave when Will whines, muttering small 'no's while making grabby hand motions towards the conked-out Mike.
