A/N: An AU based on fanfic never thought I'd see the day. I first used this plot in a Love, Simon fanfic I also wrote called Twelve Months. I knew this fic was due for a remake, so I'm adapting it for a new fandom. This fic is also a modern AU.

Dear Will,
I haven't written a letter to you in years. I haven't since we graduated high school. Brent recommended I do this. I've been down for the last few weeks. Classes have started back up, but I can't bring myself to put much effort in. I miss you so much.
I think back to that night outside of the arcade. I kissed you goodbye. We said we loved each other. It felt so like every time we said goodbye. Then I left for Lucas's house and didn't see you again.
We were supposed to leave the day after that. Everyone stayed back in town for a week. We had to do hours of questioning and help with the searches. I was the first to find out you were missing. Someone found your phone as I was calling you. I knew something was up. You never leave without your phone.
Eventually, we all had to leave. Jane and I were the last ones in Hawkins. The night before she left, we ended up getting drinks. We laughed and cried. She's about to start her residency. I was the one who dropped her off at the airport. We hugged and sobbed for a while.
I don't know where you are. I hope you're happy. I don't know if you'll ever read this. I'll probably shove it in my draw. I would burn every letter I had to see you again. I love you so much. I don't think I can stop loving you, and I never want to stop loving you. I hope to see you again soon.
Love, your boyfriend,
Mike
