#byler#stranger things#bizarre love triangle playlist#will byers#will's pov#i still stand by the fact that will did have hope at one point that mike could feel the same ie. 'i guess i did. i really did'#and despite mike's outbursts in s3 with 'it's not my fault you don't like girls' and 'that's bc she's my gf will' / 'we're friends x2'#i also think will's anger both times was still in large part over him being mad that mike is distancing himself AS HIS FRIEND#but it's in these moments in the aftermath that reality hits will and he starts to question himself and his own motives#s3 was a huge wake up call for him#it's caused him to distance himself from mike out of fear he's coming on too strong#in all honesty it's not will's fault mike is so insecure to the point where he could think that will doesn't care#bc to will his feelings are obvious to the point where he could never imagine mike would think he didn't care#'there are things that you know damn well'#in will's eyes despite this all being a secret that he now has no plan of revealing outright to mike#he simultaneously thinks mike knows and he's just subtly rejecting will through all of this vague language and by pushing him away#'and now you see. my secret is#is love.'#mike was entirely misunderstanding will for the past year and now he knows the truth is that will actually does care#*enter mike's most doubtful era over his and el's relationship yet*#'every day you're always there. you comfort me. you make it feel like it's worth my while. and then i look around and you're not there'#'and every day you say you care. and i'll beware.'#as much as will is willing to forgive mike for anything and everything#i think he's also at a point where he feels that he can't trust mike by sharing his true feelings anymore (not like he could back in s1-2)#hence why he goes from telling mike everything (at mike's request) to telling him little nothing (mike hasn't requested in a while...)#so it's this open secret now where he can't tell mike directly bc he's convinced mike can't possibly feel the same based on his actions#*enter unreliable narrator will byers feeding this inaccurate point of view to the ga*#4x03#gif
