J'AI BESOINS D'EN PARLER !
I also want to say that the Duffers don't believe in love at first sight :/ no other couples in Stranger Things have had love at first sight. They've all had time to bond with romantic tension and plans that show progress in their relationships. Many milEevens will say that Lumax is the same. But I really don't agree with that.
Luca and Max have had very interesting heart-to-hearts and they communicate a lot by confiding in each other because they've managed to trust each other. Unlike Miileven where trust is shaky and communication too. Heart-to-hearts are uncomfortable for a reason I don't know.
Jancy started working together in season 1 and we end up kissing in season 2 but Jonathan and Nancy have known each other since they were kids thanks to Will and Mike.
The only memory that comes to Mike during the confession is the day he thought El was a boy in a yellow t-shirt in the middle of the forest and then was disappointed that it wasn't Will. He could have said SO MANY THINGS but he didn't :/
Byler have known each other since kindergarten and they literally don't need words to understand that they care about each other. They are friends first and foremost. The difference between Miileven and Byler is that even if Will is not in mortal danger, Mike will be the first to run after him to get him back. It has always been:
Season 1 Mike searches for Will with all his might and continues even when there is really no hope.
Season 2 Mike stays with Will (literally attached to his hip) speaks to him in a soft voice and confides in him. He literally stays with him day and night for fear of losing him again.
Season 3 Mike rushes out in the pouring rain to find Will and apologize to him for being an asshole.
Season 4 After their argument, Mike will be the first to apologize to Will and thank him for telling him all that for fear of losing him emotionally again. He will also tell him that they are still a team. A couple is a team of two people who trust each other and who have strong bonds to understand each other with a single look.
If we put all this together, it is Mike who shows romantic signs to Will and not the other way around xD.
Whether it's Mike or El, the only time it seems romantic is in season 2, and their super forced kissing sessions in season 3…..
Season 4 has nothing romantic since I could draw a parallel between the reunion scene between Hopper and El and Miileven 💀
Anyway, the Duffers don't believe in love at first sight and Miileven was one. Unlike Byler who is a slow-burning relationship x
