short #byler thread based on this:

“your usual?” the guy behind the counter was looking at will with a smile. will chuckled and nodded, “yeah, thanks.”
What if Karen doesn't realise her drinking is a problem until she's stumbling drunk out of the kitchen, her glass smashes on the floor and she just so happens to come face to face with Will.
the party watching horror movies but will keeps interrupting when he gets irritated at characters making dumb decisions because Actually he knew to lock the doors and find a way to defend himself when he was only 12. horror fan will who knows he would be final boy in every movie

will has always been extremely careful to hide his identity. he doesn’t speak aloud unless absolutely necessary. he doesn’t give his friends special treatment. well- he does, but not in any way that they would notice. he has a thousand excuses prepared for every abrupt exit or delay or no-show. he double TRIPLE checks he’s never followed and avoids engaging with journalists.
will byers is spider-man.
