TW: internalized homophobia, manipulation, panic attacks and mileven making out (sorry y'all, it's for the plot and this the last chapter they'll do it. I pinky promise 😔 we'll get onto the Henderhop the next chapter 😀).

Also the whole diary thing in this chapter I've ripped off of the actual HP lore. 🥲 I also ripped off the whole byler fight from the s3 fight. 😞😞😞

Will was not especially happy to board on the Hogwarts Express unlike his future sister, El, who was bouncing up and down with excitement. Will had gotten to know her over the summer and despite his initial jealousy, he liked her a lot. She was sweet and caring with shoulder-length brown hair and big eyes.

Will really couldn't blame her for being so joyful, she was dating Mike after all, the most loving and perfect human-being ever and as her brother, he was happy for her. Yet, whenever he saw them together or heard them talk over the phone, his guts burnt with jealousy. El was a constant reminder of how Mike would never be his to love.

Normally sitting in a compartment with his friends would make Will happy but lately being with them made him feel alone.

Thus, the train ride had been, in Will's humble opinion, absolutely miserable. With Mike and El, in the seat next to him, not being able to stop kissing for 5 fucking minutes and Mike constantly shoving Will against the window to make room for their gross make-out session. To make matters worse, in the seat in front of him, Max and Lucas were loudly arguing but every 7 insults, they'd began to make-out sloppily.

It was as if both couples were in an intense competition of who could gross Will out more. Mike and El were clearly winning because at least Lucas and Max kiss lovingly while Mike and El just, ew.

Will was growing bored and he he'd brought his wizards chess set on board since it was one of his favorite games. Mike loved it too, and so maybe he wanted to play. Will remembered fondly how the both of them used to play it in Mike's basement. Secretly, Mike's basement felt more like home to Will than the house in which he lived. Since in Mike's basement he felt safe and mostly, loved.

So Will tapped Mike's shoulder in a poor attempt to draw his attention away from El. He was met with Mike huffing annoyed.

"Mike, do you wanna play wizards chess?" Will offered with a small smile.

"But now's not the time" complained Mike, throwing his head back.

"Is it? Is it not the time, Michael?" interrupted Will.

"Well, can I at least kiss El one last time?" giggled Mike.

"Oh, God." Max facepalmed.

Mike kissed El and reluctantly began to play. He constantly rolled his eyes, huffed and complained. Will tried to not feel hurt by his best friend's behavior but when Mike began to mock the game, something inside Will snapped.

"Fine! You win! Congratulations!" Will sneered as he got up from his seat, to leave.

"Will, I was just messing around!" Mike tried to stop Will from leaving but the other boy wasn't taking it. "Let's finish for real!"

"Just forget it Mike" sighed Will packing up the wizards chess.

"But I want to keep playing, ok?"

"I said forget it Mike, okay?" Will exclaimed "I'm going outside"

Mike put himself in between Will and the door.

"Move!" growled Will, pushing Mike and brushing passed him.

"Will, come on! You can't leave!" floundered Mike.

Bet, thought Will with bitterness.

"Listen, I said I was sorry, all right? It's a really cool game! I'm just busy with other stuff right now." Mike was clearly trying to excuse his actions but Will wasn't having it.

"Yeah, Mike, that's the problem: you guys are always busy and you're ruining The Party."

Will was finally getting to say all those things he'd felt over the the last month but hadn't told anyone out of fear. Out of fear of hurting Mike, but now Will couldn't give a fuck about Mike and his stupid feelings.

"That's just not true!" Mike shot defensively.

"Really? Where's Dustin now?" Will asked crossing his arms over his chest.

Mike remained silent as he pursed his lips.

Will asked this fully conscious Mike wouldn't know. Dustin was hanging out with Steve, someone who Dustin had bonded with over the summer. Will knew this because his brother Jonathan was Steve's boyfriend, and had told Will, Dustin tagged along on many of the couple's dates.

"See? You don't even know and you don't even care." Will spat "And obviously he doesn't either and I don't blame him. You're ruining everything and for what? So you can swap spit with some stupid girl?"

Will shouldn't have called El stupid, he knows but in the heat of the moment and with all the bubbling anger he felt, he couldn't care less.

"El's not stupid! It's not my fault you don't like girls!" Mike yelled.

That felt like a blow in the gut, leaving Will breathless and trembling. This meant he was weak and men shouldn't be weak (or so his father had taught him and Jonathan). Still, as much as it hurt, he wouldn't cry. At least not in front of Mike.

Mike must have known he fucked up because his voice became softer and quieter.

"Look, I'm not trying to be a jerk, ok?" Mike whispered but Will scoffed. "But we're not kids anymore, I mean, what did you think, really? That we were never gonna get girlfriends? That we were gonna sit in my basement all day and play games for the rest of our lives?''

Something in the way Mike said it sounded almost desperate and pleading.

"Yeah, I guess I did." hissed Will with venom and ironically Mike seemed more heartbroken than the brunet.

Will turned around on his heel and ran away towards the bathroom, trying to swallow the lump of rage he felt in his throat.

He truly was alone, he has no one to go to. He really didn't feel like going to his brother or mother and Robin was probably annoying (read: flirting with) Nancy.

When he opened the door and entered the bathroom, he sat under the sink and curled on himself. His breathing grew heavy as he repeated "Stupid, Stupid, Stupid" over and over like some sick mantra, until someone gently tapped him on the shoulder. He looked up and saw Professor Creel looking at him concerned.

"Will? Are you ok?" the teacher asked sitting down next to Will.

"No, not really, Professor." he answered. He felt comfortable with Professor Creel, he was the head of Will's house, after all.

"Call me Henry." smiled the blond "Not feeling too good, huh? Well, I can't have Slytherin's best Beater not feel good, now can I?"

Will chuckled feeling proud. At least someone seemed to appreciate his Quidditch skills.

"You know when I feel sad I like to write about it in my diary. Here, I'm gonna give you this notebook so that you can use it as a diary, ok?"

Henry handed him a black notebook.

"Um, yeah, ok. Cool" Will took the notebook and held it gingerly.

"Well, I best be off. I was having quite the discussion with Professor Argyle about a muggle herb called cannabis." smiled Henry.

Will didn't care about Mike saying Henry was untrustworthy, Henry was a great person who cared about Will unlike Mike, his former best friend.

Henry got up and left the bathroom leaving Will alone, once again.

Since Will had nothing else to do he decided to go inside the nearest stall, sit down and write something in the diary. So he took out the spare quill and ink he always had on himself. After all, he was an artist.

"Hello, my name is Will Byers." he wrote.

His writing disappeared and instead another message appeared.

Hello Will, I'm 001.

Will stared at the notebook in shock.

"Are you alive?" Will wrote, quickly.

You could say that, yes. I'm a trapped consciousness inside of this diary, more precisely. Still, I once was a Hogwarts student, which I’m guessing you are, right?

“Yes, I’m from the Slytherin house and starting my third year!” he corresponded.

I was a Slytherin too, the best house. If I do say so myself.

Will chuckled, was Slytherin truly the best house? Everyone seemed to despise them. Yeah, there were a couple of assholes in the house, like Billy and Troy, but weren’t there assholes in every house?

Will could name a few ones out of the top of his head: Steve, a Gryffindor, used to be an asshole until Jonathan and him got into a fistfight; Fred Benson, a Ravenclaw, had apparently done some pretty fucked up stuff too; Jason Carver, another Gryffindor, was notorious for being extremely stuck up and throwing wild parties in the boy’s dorm (there were also rumors of him cheating on his girlfriend, poor Chrissy Cunningham, with several girls).

"Well, do you mind if I tell you something? You can’t tell anyone, though.” Will scribbled in his cursive writing.

Sure. Who would I tell anyways?

“Ok, well the thing is that….” Will recounted what happened with Mike and the further in the story, the tighter he gripped his quill. When he finished, he waited to see 001’s response:

That kid sounds like such an ass, not gonna lie. You should really stop considering him your best friend. Best friends don’t treat you like absolute garbage.

Will pondered this, and really, 001 was right.

This “conversation” kept on going for the rest of the train ride and school year. Will avoided The Party, except Max, at all costs and constantly run away to “talk” with 001 (much to Mike’s disgust and jealousy).

The year went by swiftly until the very last week of June, during which, Billy had begun a fire in the Forbidden Forest in a desperate attempt to break up Max and Lucas. Fortunately, neither Lucas or Max had been harmed but Billy died. The fire was known as The Great Fire of ‘85 and it left Max completely devastated. Mostly, because her step-brother had tried to murder her and Lucas for being an interracial couple. This left her with a huge emotional burden she’d only told Will.

Thanks to 001 he’d realized that he didn’t need to be friends that weren’t from his own house. 001 had taught Will new and more powerful spells, he’d also taught Will about how being a Slytherin mean being the best.

Now, Will was determined for Max to meet 001, his other best friend, and for him to teach Max all the things he’d taught Will. So he asked a delighted Professor Creel for another notebook for Max, who reluctantly accepted it. After a day of using it, she admitted to having loved the present.

Max and Will liked to gush about 001’s appearance and while Will imagined him as a handsome man, Max imagine him as a sickly old man. They loved their new friend and thought that 001 was the only friend they needed.

In their innocence, they both believed to have met an angel or even god, when they’d actually made a deal with the devil.

Alternative (My Boyfriends) Robron Spoiler Theory Week 28

Disclaimer: My boyfriend absolutely and unequivocally HATES Emmerdale! He only watches it because it is the only show I have not completely given up. And I only started watching Emmerdale in 2008/2009 because of Aaron Livesy and his coming out story. And it was that same boyfriend who now HATES Emmerdale that introduced me to the character and show.

After my boyfriend read my recent Robert & Aaron spoiler predictions & theories for Week 28 (10-14 July), he told me I was completely clueless and needed to stop drinking Iain MacLeod’s Kool-Aid if I thought he had enough talent to develop and/or produce a story I was suggesting in my post and attempted to explain the complexities of during our discussion. He then suggested we have a bet (Terms at the end) on whose theory would be closer to what will happen.

I think my boyfriend’s theories are quite complex, but he disagrees thinking this is all simplistic and believes any complexities to his thoughts/ideas are the results of the storyliners being tasked by ITV to support Iain as they attempt to clean up the mess he has made of Robron. (FYI – We both love a good conspiracy theory discussion.)

So, below are his thoughts and ideas:

1.       Iain doesn’t care about Aaron or his history of abuse by Gordon. He is only using it as a fallback to either add stress/drama to any and all situations for Aaron or to explain away Aaron’s behaviour when he either can’t develop an original idea or the idea he has is not workable or becomes unworkable.

The example my boyfriend supplied is the reveal on 25-May with Aaron explaining to Robert his attack on Kasim. The attack episode was developed with Aaron attacking Kasim because Robert ended their relationship, Aaron struggling to understand Robert’s bisexuality thinking Robert couldn’t accept his own sexuality, and then projecting his lack of understanding about Robert on Kasim who was not accepting his own sexuality. The reveal episode changed the narrative with Aaron explaining he attacked Kasim after he took his ring off, but Robert wouldn’t have done that had they talked about his fears about Gordon’s voice in his head making him doubt Robert’s commitment before.

My boyfriend believes this specific component of this storyline was changed/added because Iain needed a type of Hail Mary situation to not break the boys up because of Robert’s infidelity which was the original intent. Adding this new wrinkle of Gordon’s voice and having Aaron tell Robert he wants to forgive him because he doesn’t want Gordon to take Robert away from him allowed him to keep them together in the interim and attempt to carry favour with the “ardent Robron” viewers who drank the Kool-Aid from the article and the episode.

Additionally, this change puts sole responsibility for Aaron’s situation on his own shoulders somewhat absolving Robert of any blame on why Aaron was in prison. This was necessary because the fans were turning their backs on Robert and some were even demanding Robert and Aaron be permanently separated after he cheated feeling he was ultimately responsible for Aaron’s attack on Kasim, being sent down, and getting strung out on drugs. Iain couldn’t have the story he had started to tell ruin a power house couple like Robron that generated so much positive buzz on social media and were the darlings of the soap world so soon into his reign.

2.       The incomplete 26-May episode will be finalized with Robert & Aaron breaking up on 14-July. Again, my boyfriend believes this was all changed because of fan backlash on the cheating storyline. Now that Iain has brought as many as possible ardent Kool-aid drinking Robron fans back on board with his reassurances of where the Robert & Aaron story is going, he can separate the two with little damage to the remaining fan base. 

Aaron will be the one who breaks it off with Robert which was always the original intent. Unlike my opinion if they do separate, he sees there being animosity between Robert & Aaron. My boyfriend agrees with me trust will be one of the underlying issue between the two since this has been a recurring theme with Rebecca’s introduction. The stated problem for Aaron will be Rebecca* and the baby reminding Aaron each time he sees them of how Robert betrayed him and how he can’t trust him going forward in addition to his continued secrecy. The issues with Gordon will not be mentioned according to him until needed for the Aaron centric story. 

*My boyfriend does have a problem with this direction for the story. If Aaron uses Rebecca and the baby (if it is born and is Robert’s) as part of his reasoning for splitting with Robert, logically and realistically speaking Aaron should NEVER reunite with Robert while either remain in the village. 

His theory to get around this little problem and to help Iain “redeem” Rebecca in the eyes of the viewers is for her to be the catalyst for reuniting Robert & Aaron. My boyfriend believes since Aaron has visibly been concerned about Rebecca’s baby, that he will eventually develop a friendship with her as he sees her and asks after the baby (See Item #3 for additional redemption for Rebecca). Robert will resent Rebecca even more as he will see her as the reason for his split with Aaron. Rebecca will use her friendship with Aaron to reunite the two eventually allowing for Robert to reevaluate his relationship with Rebecca. 

3.       I based my theory and hopes on how I thought Iain was playing out the story for Robert & Aaron on the questions Chrissie had for Aaron about his father, Gordon. My boyfriend believes this was only mentioned to remind the viewer about the prison ordeal with Jason (compounded by his recent visit to Emmerdale) and Aaron’s reasoning for forgiving Robert. With Gordon fresh in the viewer & Aaron’s mind, Aaron will have some type of realization or breakdown that Gordon won and has taken Robert from him. This will give Emmerdale the chance to explore this upcoming “dark” Aaron centric story. 

To further allow for Rebecca’s redemption and to help solidify a friendship with Aaron, Rebecca will have some part of this story to help bring Aaron out of the darkness with the Gordon story. Aaron had previously opened up to her about his abuse after he robbed Home Farm. She was understanding and offered advice on how to “stick it” to his old man by suggesting he use the inheritance to buy the Mill. Rebecca will remind Aaron (and the audience) her and Robert have no romantic future similar to how she reassured him she wasn’t after Robert before when she said “apparently I don’t come close” during that same conversation. 

 BET TERMS

If my boyfriend wins this bet, my penance will be as follows:

1.       I can never mention or discuss Emmerdale or Robert & Aaron to him.

2.       I can never watch Emmerdale again.

BONUS: If my boyfriend is more than 70 percent accurate, I can no longer have access to ANY and ALL Twitter accounts he puts on the “Forbbidden” list. (He is currently only suggesting this list include Emmerdale and the soap magazine & writers Twitter feeds. Note: I talked him out of including any of the stars or fans of the show.

If I win this bet, his penance will be as follows:

1.       He can never mention ANY reality TV shows to me.

2.       Each year, I get to choose 2 Reality TV shows he is forbidden to watch.

BONUS: If I am more than 70 percent accurate, he can no longer watch ANY and ALL reality TV shows I put on the “Forbidden” list.

 My boyfriend and I have a wonderful Love/Hate relationship going on. 

I love TV Dramas and hate reality TV. He loves reality TV and hates TV dramas.

The positive, we still love each other despite his crap taste in TV entertainment.
