it was 1985, hawkins, indiana, summer vacation has started and will byers is going into freshmen year once it’s over.

will has recently been upset due to his friends caring more about dating and teen drama, mike has jane, lucas has max and dustin was dating a girl who lived in utah.

besides will, the only one who wasn’t dating was dylan, the thing is… dylan has had a crush on will ever since they were 12, will didn't know that tho.

homosexuality wasn’t accepted in the 80s, so both will and dylan were still in the closet.

since his other friends cared more about other stuff, will has started to become closer to dylan.

however.. he still didn’t get the hint that dylan was in love with him.

dylan was polite, caring, kindhearted and respectful, he was taller than will with fair skin, curly golden blonde hair and blue eyes.

it was currently nighttime, dylan and will were at dylan’s house, playing dungeons and dragons and other things, it was a great time.

now, they were watching a movie, dylan glanced over at will, wondering if he should confess or not, he took a deep breath before speaking.

Dylan: hey.. will? can i tell you something?
