I know Mike laying his head on Will's chest is hugely talked about, like it should be but guys Dustin really shoved and threw Mike and Lucas to the side to hug Will, and the way Will was patting Dustin it seemed like Dusty was the one who's sick not Will🥺🥺

[bylertruth3r]

WILL BYERS IS BACK AND HE'S WEARING GREEN (BYLER COLOR), Dustin and Will hanging out, i love besties <33

I bet the mlvns are gonna call the guy next to Will his boyfriend even though it's probably a Dustin double because of his hair

ok so we have: Dustin, Will, Joyce, Lucas, Nancy and Robin and Steve(i think), where's Mike? (in the closet), El is definitely hiding with Hopper at the cabin or somewhere else

[grandmags]

where did this come from and why have I never seen it 😭 Duffers better feed us some Byerson best friends in 5 or they will hear from me

[gayofthefae]

"Why can't boys just be really close friends" anti-Byler people fully slept about

Like damn they're great hope you wake up soon like get well, you're missing out.

[dwobbitfromtheshire]

Dustin: Well, Suzie broke up with me.

Will: Oh no, why?

Dustin: She said I kept talking about another girl and that it was clear that I had feelings for them!

Will: Did you keep talking about another girl?

Dustin: That's the thing, I wasn't!

Will: Then why would she say -

Dustin: You know, I bet she got annoyed because I kept talking about how great you are.

Will: *eyes wide* I think you might be missing something here.

Dustin: *snapping his fingers at him* She's jealous of our friendship!

Will: You know, I think this might be something you have to figure out for yourself.

Will got up to leave.

Dustin: That's what Suzie said. . .what does that mean?! Will?! . . . Will?! Goddamnit! Can I have a hint?!

[pinkeoni]

I have a very selfish request for Will to come out to Dustin (maybe in the Robin way where he uses his attraction to Mike as a gateway to share his identity) and Dustin “super-heterosexual-man-of-science-on-a-curiosity-voyage” Henderson is accepting but also starts asking a bunch of deeply personal questions out of well-meaning confusion

[foreverautumn89]

Still so mad we didn't get to a scene of Jonathan being a mommy to all the boys and taking pictures of ALL of them together in their halloween costumes

At least the writers show hes the mom when taking pictures of Will though. All the moms are taking pictures of their kids in their costumes in that scene, but not Joyce. Jonathan is Will's mom in that scene.

But I just keep imagining Jonathan getting out of the car with Will in the scene where he drops him off to go trick or treating with the boys and the four boys are posing multiple times giggling and having a blast while Jonathan takes pictures of them doing silly playful poses. And Jonathan is smiling and giggling too at how silly they're being and shows how much he loves his children. The Duffers keep robbing us!!!!

Then again maybe he is the one that took pictures of the boys together in those costumes cause there is a picture of it shown in S3 before smashes Castle Byers. But we still didn't see the scene of Jonathan hanging out with the boys taking pictures so..

One thing about Dustin Henderson is that he will hold his friends' hands when they are in distress.

[l393ndjean]

I don't know what day it is but wip:

Did somebody ask for a st3 au where Will's part of scoops troop? Probably not. Are you getting it anyway? YES!

It will be called The Week Is Long

[dwobbitfromtheshire]

Walking back to the school, Dustin noticed Steve and Eddie were holding hands. Will cursed inwardly, and he hoped that Dustin wouldn't say anything. He figured that they weren't quite ready to say anything yet, but why were they holding hands so publicly? Maybe they thought they were being discreet.

"That makes sense," Dustin said.

"What does?" Will asked.

"Safety in numbers, and it doesn't hurt to make sure we don't get separated," Dustin said as he took Will's hand. "Makes sense, doesn't it?"

Dustin smiled at him. He always appreciated Dustin's smile. It was always so innocent and, at the same time, mischievous. It was also full of warmth. His dark blue eyes also held the same, and it always seemed to twinkle, too. Will always loved the way they seemed to almost disappear when he smiled. Will swallowed. When did Dustin get so cute? Or maybe the better question would be, why didn't Will really notice until now? Oh, yeah. Mike. Will blushed. He had spent so long being in love with him, and he hadn't stopped to think about the possibility of anyone else.

"Yeah, I guess it makes sense," Will said and intertwined their hands.

Dustin went quiet for a minute, staring straight a head before groaning.

"I was hoping that you'd call me on my bullshit, Will," Dustin said.

"What are you talking about?" Will asked.

"I just wanted to hold your hand, and I was looking for any excuse to do it," Dustin said. "I don't know why Steve and Eddie are holding hands."

"Why didn't you just tell me?" Will asked.

"I don't know," Dustin said, blushing. "I wanted to be honest with you, but I got nervous."

"You, Dustin Henderson? You're never afraid of saying what's on your mind," Will said.

"Hey, I get scared. . .it's just that my mouth runs faster than my brain," Dustin said. "My mouth has a mind of its own, okay?!"

"Dustin, why do you want to hold my hand?" Will asked softly.

"I don't know, I already said that. I think that I have always been jealous of how close you and Mike are, how close you want to be with Mike. It doesn't make sense, though, because I know that I'm closer to Lucas than you are, and it doesn't bother me!" Dustin exclaimed.

"Dustin," Will said softly and stopped, taking his other hand.

"I think maybe it's because you always found all my inventions interesting. . .I mean, actually interested. You always wanted to hear more about them, and I just wanted you to keep looking at me like that. . .the way you look when I talk about them. This past year, all I wanted to do was talk to you about it, about them all and the science fair. . .even though I knew it wasn't possible, I kept imagining your face in the crowd and somehow that you'd find your way there. When Suzie broke up with me, I wanted you to be the first to know. I knew you would be the one to make me feel better. I can't explain it," Dustin sighed. "I think I just really missed you this year."

"Dustin," Will said. "I could guess, although I might be wrong about this. . .I generally am wrong about these things. . .can I - can I show you why you might be feeling this way?"

"Sure," Dustin said in confusion.

Still holding both of Dustin's hands in his, Will bent down and kissed him. Dustin made a small gasping noise against Will's lips. He didn't pull away, however. In fact, he pressed his lips a little harder against Will's with an eagerness that he was trying to contain. Will found that he very much liked kissing Dustin, liked the way his lips felt against his. Dustin growled into his mouth, and Will jumped, pulling away with a laugh.

"Dustin!" Will exclaimed.

"Hey! You started this," Dustin said. "You knew what might happen."

"You were the one who wanted to hold my hand!" Will laughed. "It surprised me, that's all. It was a nice surprise, though."

"Shit. . .it all makes sense. I can't believe that I've never seen it before," Dustin frowned.

"We lie more to ourselves than anyone else," Will said.

"There's a reason why your name is Will the Wise," Dustin beamed. "Does this mean - that you - ?"

"I'm definitely starting to move my eyes towards you," Will grinned and paused. "And it's not a big deal for you. . .that you like a guy?"

"You know, I don't think I care very much that you're a guy. I don't think I ever cared that Suzie was a girl. I hardly even noticed, I just. . .I think I liked that you're both so. . .sweet," Dustin said. "And you care. You both have heart, and I think that's what I've always cared about. Honestly, when I had a crush on Max, I just thought, well, I'm a boy, and she's a girl. . .that's just how it's supposed to be, right? After Max, I think I just opened myself up to the possibility of just falling for anyone, but I don't think my mind really factored that it meant guys as well."

"It's always been just guys for me, particularly one guy, but I'm starting to be aware of others, too," Will blushed.

"So, our hearts are still freshly wounded. . .maybe together, we'll help them heal faster," Dustin said.

Will beamed and took Dustin's hand as they continued to move. Steve and Eddie had walked further ahead of them, but they managed to catch up.

"It's really not fair how much taller you've gotten, Byers," Dustin explained. "You know, there was a time that I was taller than you."

"Please, you love it," Will teased.

"Maybe I do," Dustin said. "Maybe I don't."

Once they reached Steve and Eddie, the four walked into the empty entrance to the gym.

"Were you guys holding hands?" Steve asked.

"Yeah," Dustin said. "We were holding hands for the same reason that you were. We didn't want to get lost."

Steve and Eddie shared an amused smile before turning to them.

"That's not why we were holding hands," Steve said. "Although, Eddie does tend to wander off. . ."

"We're dating!" Eddie exclaimed rather cheerfully.

"Oh," Dustin said and beamed, sharing a look with Will. "That's funny. We are, too!"

"Shut up, that's not funny. We're being serious," Steve said.

"So, are we!" Will exclaimed.

"Seriously?!" Steve and Eddie exclaimed.

"Yeah," Dustin said.

"That's great, I didn't know you liked guys," Steve said.

"I didn't know that either of you liked guys, or I would have tried to set you two up a long time ago," Dustin said.

"Well, we didn't exactly know either," Steve blushed.

"We figured it out the hard way," Eddie said, slapping Steve on the back.

"I was always open to falling for anyone anyway, but it took Will kissing me to realize that I had been crushing on him for a while and that it also meant guys for me, too," Dustin said.

"It's just guys for me," Will shrugged.

"Both for us," Steve replied.

"Well, this is just great," Will beamed. "I always thought I was alone."

Will could feel Dustin smiling at him, and he turned to him, smiling as well. Will had opened his mouth when Dustin gasped.

"Does your mom and Jonathan know about you?" Dustin asked.

"Yeah, they're fine with it," Will replied and raised an eyebrow at him.

"I just realized that I'm going to have to figure out a way to get them to like me," Dustin said.

"What?! They already like you!" He exclaimed.

"Yeah, but I'm your boyfriend now, William, and the family never likes the boyfriend!" Dustin yelled. "I've got to prove to them that I'm not going to hurt you!"

"You've got nothing to prove!" Will laughed. "You're being ridiculous!"

"I need to come up with a plan!" Dustin exclaimed and started to run off.

"In the middle of an apocalypse?! Aren't there more important things to do?!" Will asked.

"No!"

Steve clapped his hand on Will's shoulder.

"He means well," Steve laughed.

"He's lucky he's cute," Will said in amusement. "Why is he so scared of them? Didn't Dustin kill a man? What's he got to be worried about?"

"Yeah, I think he's just excited," Steve said.

"Well, at least you don't have to worry about Eddie," he said.

"Not about that, anyway," Steve said.

Suddenly, Eddie gasped, grasping Steve’s shoulder.

"The kid is right, Steve. I have to win Robin over," Eddie said.

"What?! She already likes you! You've won her over!" Steve yelled.

"Not as her platonic soulmate's boyfriend, Steven!" Eddie shrieked. "I'm going to see if Dustin needs help."

Will laughed and clapped Steve on the back as Eddie ran off.

"Let's get some hot cocoa and talk about how adorably idiotic our boyfriends are," Will said.

"I just know that Robin's going to make Eddie jump through hoops just to fuck with him," Steve said.

"Luckily, my brother isn't that cruel," Will said. "Hopper, on the other hand. . ."

Will glanced over at Mike talking to Lucas, and he found that for the first time ever, it was easier to breathe when he looked at him.

[bylertruther]

dustin, a drama club kid who likes what he likes and is proud of it, takes will to his first drag show one day, because he's also the (over)enthusiastic pflag friend that makes it his mission to be as supportive, involved, and knowledgeable as possible. this is real and true and you agree

[foreverautumn89]

I don't agree that Lucas was doing that for Mike. He was doing that for Will. Because... Byclair.

Someone said about how Lucas was being a great ally to Mike in S3 biking to Will's to apologize when he had nothing to apologize for, but I don't think that was about being an ally.

Not only did Lucas bike to Will's in the pouring rain to apologize to Will for his own reasons/it wasn't just to support Mike, he was being as gay with Will as Mike was at that moment.

Lucas also apologized again to Will after this at the pool trying to give Will a proper apology while Mike didn't. [Not discrediting Mike here just making it clear it Lucas wasn't doing it for Mike it was for his own reasons.

Lucas also went rogue in S1 and was going against the parents wishes/and was going to go fight the lab/goverment and creatures from an alternate dimension all on his own AT THE AGE OF 12 btw all to save Will. I get all the boys were doing this but Lucas went ROGUE and was like I'm going to save him on my own and fight entire armies by myself to save Will.

I liked that post and I like the idea of Lucas being a great ally. But as a huge fan of Byclair, I can't support this statement that Lucas was just an ally. Lucas was doing it for Will because he loves him.

And before anyone brings up my girl Max and says what about Max: My take on it is that Lucas should be with Max, Will, and El. Elumax + Byclair. Lucas deserves lots of love.

And Will can be with both Mike and Lucas [and Dustin too]. There problem solved. Am I the only one that ships Will with all three of them?
