Chapter 1
02:57, 25 January 2026Will sat on a stool in his bedroom, a small canvas placed in front of him with a realistic painting of Max that was halfway painted. He was eighteen and ready for art school, this painting would be one of his last submissions and no matter how many times Max refused to let him paint her, she finally gave in.
Will's room was, one of a kind. Posters, art, normal teenage boy things.
Well, so he thought. Max just thought it was outright weird.
But she was the only one who knew about his obsession.
Max peeked over at her phone that kept lighting up with notifications from Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat and Facebook.
"Max! I need to draw you so look at me and stay still!" Will sighed, frowning as he set his paintbrush down. He was almost finished, he just needed to get the final touches of her freckles.
Max looked over at Will, humour in her eyes, "Mike just posted on Twitter." She smiled watching as Will's eyes grew wide and began to rush around the room to find his phone.
"Where is it?!" He sighed as he threw stuff off his desk, "Got it!" He smiled lifting it up and looking at his Twitter notifications.
MIKESBIGSWORD POSTED AN UPDATE.
Will clicked on the update and smiled, Max frowned and crossed her arms, "Um I thought you were drawing me a minute ago before you destroyed your room?" She sighed, shaking her head at how embarrassing her best friend was.
"Shhhhh! I'm reading!" He said putting his hand up towards her face and scanning his eyes across the text on his phone.
MIKESBIGSWORD You'll all be delighted to know that me and my team have been planning a meet and greet in California that will take place in two weeks time. I've came up with an idea that doing a giveaway for three tickets to spend a whole week with me and my costars El and Richie in one of the most lush hotels was the only way to go around this. Email me at @mikesbigsword.com and give your reasoning for winning! 18+ only 😈🍆🍑
Will stared at his phone for a solid two minuets before looking over at Max who had just finished reading the same post on her phone. "I think I'm gonna faint." Will whispered covering his mouth.
Max began laughing before Will shot her a look, "You big slut, he'll never pick you! You just turned eighteen and your mom wouldn't even let you go to California!" Max sighed.
"You don't know that Max!" Will protested, smiling and sitting beside her as he typed Mike's email up on his phone.
"Raise your hand if you think Will should stick to watching porn instead of meeting the porn star?" Max said raising her hand and looking at Will.
"I'll take you with me if I win." He smiled pushing her hand down.
"This dude is twenty one Will! You're only eighteen!" She protested, shaking Will's shoulder.
"You've said before." Will sighed looking at her before typing his email again.
Max looked at her best friend and sighed, "I'll tell the party about your weird crush on PornStar Mike Wheeler." She said reaching under Will's pillow and pulling out a photo of Mike.
Will gasped, a faint blush growing across his cheeks, "How did you know that was there!?" He sighed grabbing it and putting it back under.
"Remember when your mom took your phone off you and I came over to make you feel better?" She asked and Will nodded, "Well, you were doing 'you know what' while looking at it and shoved it under before I caught you."
"Okay! Shut up let's not talk about that." He laughed nervously as he sent the email, "I'll take you and Dustin, how's that sound?" Will asked.
Max frowned and shook her head "You little pervert Byers." She sighed.
"Be quiet and let me finish drawing you." Will smiled sitting on his stool again.

El climbed off the bed and immediately tied a robe around her, grabbing a piece of cardboard and fanning herself with it. Directors yelled cut and set was fixed as Mike and El made their way into the nearest dressing room. Mike sat himself down on the dressing room sofa and took a few deep breaths, trying to get his breathing back to normal as he wiped a bit of sweat off his forehead. He looked over at El and frowned a little.
"What's wrong with you? stop staring at me like you want to kill me." he sighed as he looked over at El who was giving him a death stare.
"I can't believe you're going to let some strangers chill with us for a whole week." El sighed as she threw Mikes robe at him, "Put that on, I can't bare to see you naked anymore."
"I just wanna see how sex deprived the people are." He smiled putting the robe on, "Porn addicts are a different breed."
"You are pure evil Michael." She frowned, shaking her head as she sat in front of her dressing room mirror and began to fix her makeup that has rubbed off a little from her and Mike's video shoot.
Mike was silent for a few minutes, reading his emails on his phone before laughing hysterically, "You are such a freak shut up!" El said throwing a pillow at Mike.
"Oh my god El listen to this!" He laughed sitting at the end of the sofa, "Hi Mike, you'll probably never see this email seeing as I'm just an eighteen year old guy from Hawkins Indiana but I really admire your work and you're a pleasure to watch. I would love to win your giveaway and treat my two friends Max and Dustin to a week away at California for our first big trip together, I'd also really like to draw you, I'm going to art school soon and would love for them to examine my anatomy pieces. From Will Byers."
"Poor kid." El said holding in her laugh, "Aww he's so innocent! Mike you can't let him win."
"He's winning, this shits hilarious." Mike laughed as he typed an update on Twitter, "Time to make a touch starved teenagers day."

Max sat in her living room, staring at the movie that was playing on the tv while she ate popcorn. the front door knocked and she groaned, setting the bowl down and walking to her front door.
She opened the door to find Will standing outside.
"Okay I finished your drawing." Will smiled as he walked into Max's house.
Max watched as Will made himself at home and raised her eyebrows, "Will you drew that a week ago." She sighed.
"Yeah but I had to finish painting it on my own time because you wouldn't stop moving." He smiled handing it to her.
"Holy shit Will this is amazing!" She smiled, "You've definitely got a talent."
Will laughed then his phone got a notification, "Mike just tweeted." he announced almost immediately.
"Do you have notifications on so you know when he posts?" she asked, frowning as they walked into her living room, "Whatever, open it and see if you won!" She smiled pulling him to sit down.
MIKESBIGSWORD It's time to announce the lucky winner of this competition 😈 Well done to Will Byers and his two friends Max and Dustin from Hawkins Indiana! You'll stay behind after the meet and greet to join me and my costars, thank you all for playing my games 😩🍆🍑
"Please tell me this is a joke?" Max said looking at Will's phone in disbelief, "Did you really tell him my name?!"
"This is awesome! Why are you upset over this?" Will asked jumping around Max's living room.
"You weren't suppose to win Will! Your mom will never let you go! Especially not after the time you went missing for a week and everyone thought you were dead." Max sighed.
"That was six years ago! Times have changed Maxine." He smiled widely.
"I just don't want you to get disappointed Will, that's all." She said looking at him sadly.
"I have a plan don't worry, we'll get Dustin to drive us but my mom doesn't need to know that we're going to California." He smiled looking at her.
"I swear if this doesn't work.." Max sighed.
