i just realised literally no one else could ever understand will the way mike does like imagine will starts dating some random guy at the end and it’s like, “he obviously has PTSD i wonder what happened”, or like “what’s his deal with the lights” like what is will gonna do, tell the guy he fought monsters and got stuck in an alternate dimension for a week

there’s no one else that could ever get it because mike has lived it with will, how could he just find someone else and try to explain it all to that person it sounds so unbelievable

thinking about pining Mike Wheeler. thinking about Mike Wheeler heart eyes. thinking about Mike Wheeler looking absolutely crushed/worried when Will is unconscious or injured. thinking about Mike Wheeler with Will Byers 24/7. thinking about Joyce Byers watching Mike Wheeler be so caring and loving to her son. thinking about Mike Wheeler still being sensitive to Will Byers' feelings and always assuring him that everything's going to be okay. thinking about Crazy Together. thinking about the immediate regret/realization of saying It's Not My Fault You Don't Like Girls. thinking about Mike Wheeler's guilt and inability to talk about his true feelings. thinking about the shame Mike Wheeler must feel one way or another from either not being with Will Byers, or always being with Will Byers. thinking about Mike Wheeler and Will Byers self-sabotaging in different ways. thinking about Mike Wheeler feeling the need to conform the way his other two friends seem to be, and the fear he must have felt knowing he didn't have the foresight to consider doing anything but spend the rest of his life with Will Byers. thinking about Mike Wheeler keeping all of Will's art on display or perfectly pristine. thinking about how he hides or discards the things El gives him. thinking about Mike Wheeler perfectly understanding Will Byers needs. thinking about Mike Wheeler riding a bike in the pouring rain because the guilt of upsetting Will Byers was eating away at him. thinking about Mike Wheeler rushing into the hospital room asap when Will Byers woke up, so he could hug him, and the fact that he started telling him of their adventures from when he was missing instead of talking about all the heavy stuff. thinking about Mike Wheeler and Will Byers putting everyone's needs before themselves. thinking about how Mike Wheeler loves Will Byers more than anything in the world, and the vulnerability of that realization is a heavy burden on his conscience. thinking about how Mike Wheeler and Will Byers will prevail.
