was it casual, mike? when you cried the whole way home, completely inconsolable because you believed you'd lost him forever? when you kept all of his drawings in a binder? when you were the only one amongst your friends who believed he was still alive? when you recognized his soft, weak voice through the walkie talkie? when you held him close and said you'd take him home but then took him to your house? was it casual when you told him that if you two were going crazy, then you'd go crazy together? when you used a soft voice you never use with anyone else to tell him he'd not be in danger and held his hand? when you slept by his side in the hospital, when you stood by his side when he was possessed even though you could've just left him for your own safety? when you said asking him to be your friend was the best thing you've ever done with tears in your eyes? when you biked across town under pouring rain to apologize to him because you knew how badly you'd hurt him? when you told him that the hometown you guys share is not the same to you anymore because he's not there, when you missed him so much that you felt like you'd lost him? was it ever casual, mike?

All is fair in love and war

the byler kiss will be so good that the kiss alone will be enough to prove mike and el never really loved each other in that way.

the audience will immediately catch the difference in the passion and chemistry. i mean come on... this is years of pining we are talking about. YEARS. mike was in dire need all of s4. he's NOT gonna fuck up his one opportunity to finally kiss his lips. will's been waiting far long and gone through so much just to finally have this moment, so of course he's gonna take in as much as possible.

mike won't set up a wall between him and will the way he does with el, his eyes won't be open. he will be inviting and accepting.

a small peck and a nervous laugh does not feel enough given the long build up, both from the audience's perspective and the characters themselves. they're gonna make out and will get messy. they just have to. and if it does go further, it will most likely just be implied the way it was for jancy. seems reasonable given the age they're gonna be in s5 and will's whole coming of age story going on.

i need the duffers to put their whole duffussy into this shit. give the gays what they want

that one scene in s2 when Mike tackles Joyce in a hug and pulls her to safety when she’s in distress right after Bob dies never NEVER fails to make me cry

people who hate Mike Wheeler you’re just wrong

THEY'RE FINALLY AT SCHOOL TOGETHER OHH MY GODDDDD
