Summary
“Have you ever had a long-term relationship? Or even a medium-term one?”
“Define medium-term.”
“Let’s say six months.”
“... let’s not.”
“And why do you think that is, Will?”
“I have absolutely no idea, Maxine. But I get the feeling that you’re going to tell me why you think it is, so get it over with...”Will, pushing thirty, thinks he has a pretty good thing going in New York. His art is selling, his bed is frequently full, and he's on really excellent terms with his best friend. Even if Mike does live in San Francisco.
But his mom has been bugging him about settling down, and maybe it's just persistence, but Will is starting to feel like there's something missing.
Surely he's too young for a midlife crisis?

Summary
If there was one thing Dustin ought to know about Mike Wheeler, it was that he never answered his phone.
So the first sign that something was up was, on reflection, the little click and the silence between the dial tone and somebody answering.
It's the '90s, and Dustin phones Mike in San Francisco more often than he ever expected to. Most of the time, Mike doesn't pick up. But, sometimes, the call is answered by one of Mike's friends. One of Mike's invariably male friends. One of Mike's numerous invariably male friends.
It takes Dustin way longer than it should to work out what's going on.

Summary
“Your boyfriend?” she prompted, speaking quite slowly and carefully as though she was talking to a toddler, “You know, the fake boyfriend you use as an excuse every time someone asks you out?”
Will blinked surprisedly, then cracked up laughing, “What?” he said, “Fake boyfriend?” he repeated, grinning, “You do realise — you know my boyfriend isn’t fake, right? I do have a boyfriend. For the past year and a half, actually.”
Will Byers’ boyfriend is something of a myth amongst the residents of RISD. Nobody has met him, he supposedly helped to save Will’s life, and he goes to Brown. Seriously… who is this guy?
Or; Byler from the perspective of Will’s college friends.
