#byler headcanons

Do you ever just think about the fact that Mike and Will have most definitely slept in the same bed many times (at sleepovers when they were younger) and so when they pine for each other and to be beside each other at night, it's not just some abstract thing in their minds but something they can basically tangibly feel and tangibly miss. Like they literally know the other's scent and what it's like to watch the other sleep and whether the other steals all the covers or kicks all of them off etc. etc. and they both have to sleep alone living with the knowledge that that's something they once had but will never be able to get back (at least to their knowledge) because of society's demands and expectations. 😇

Byler hands?
ps: I have the headcanon that Will lives with his hands stained with ink, because I live with my hands stained with ink so he will too.

Thinking about established older Byler being dads and how funny it would be if their kids turned out opposite of them. Their kids are sporty and popular and maybe aren't that into dnd or nerdy stuff but know all the LOTR lore bc that was their bedtime stories.
And instead of Byler being like their parents, where the Wheelers were all about conformity and Lonnie couldn't accept Will for who he is, Mike and Will are supportive of their kids' differences and encourage them to be their own person.
They're the nerdy dads of the Homecoming king or Prom queen or the kid that throws the best parties when Byler leaves town for a weekend. The only thing is Will laughs at Mike's distress that they're basically raising mini Steve Harringtons.

Unpopular opinion maybe, but I don't see Byler having kids. Like, at all. 🤷

some more little soft byler moments - this time in polaroid form :p (also sorry abt the formatting , there was originally five but i took it out and this is how it ended up but by the time i realized it looked wonky asf, it was 2 late 2 change it w/o having 2 redo most things cuz the lines would get fuzzy)
again - close ups and some backstory to them under the cut :>
just 2 preface - the dates on these r in not like. special i just picked months that fit the scene (colder months if they r more clothes/school months in the school one/etc) and totally random days. also idk any characters birthday so if i accidentally put the date of one, just ignore it or change it in ur head 2 a different date in the same month lol
also ! i hc that el took these w/ a polaroid camera that she gets for christmas bcuz she liked watching jonathan take pictures so they got her one so she could do it herself :) which is also why they dont start until 1987 and i think she would b the biggest byler supporter of their friend group (which is why she takes these pictures)
oh and i hc that the byer's move back 2 hawkins in2 a different home which is where the every one except the first one is placed - and the first one is placed in the school (probably in either the hellfire clubroom or the av one? i think thats what it was right?? god i need 2 watch the show again i can't remember anything lol)
Tumblr media
like i said b4, this ones in a clubroom/classroom after school where its just the party. the two people in the back r dustin + el w/ lucas taking the picture for her ig. this is what i was referring 2 in my headcanons post , where they lay over eachothers shoulders like this :) idk i just think its cute :p also yes they r wearing eachothers sweaters .
Tumblr media
this one is one in the hopper-byers' new house and i think it would probably b like. a movie night or smth tho idk y the lights would b on but whatever. it could b w/ all the hopper-byers + mike or could just b a movie night 4 mike + will - whichever one u want 2 imagine. either way , el finds them like this and takes this photo :) also i tried 2 add a background in the window but its bad so dont look at it 2 hard lmao (its just trees) also will Definitely wakes up w his shoulders/back hurting cuz ive slept in a similar position a few times b4 and God it does not feel good when waking up lol
Tumblr media
this ones supposed 2 b a morning at the hopper-byers' home. i tried to add little bits of mike's hair 2 show it got longer over time but its so minuscule idk if u can even tell. also yes thats The flannel lol. i had 2 have in here at least once. and will is wearing a hellfire shirt, whether its his own or mike's is up 2 u :p . i also put the black nail polish in this one and not the others bcuz i think that this is abt the time they would start wearing it? yknow? cuz like. doing stuff like that takes time cuz u have 2 work up the courage 2 do it, especially in the 80's. i only started wearing nail polish consistently a few years ago and sometimes i still get feelings of 'i would pass better if i didnt wear it' or 'ppl will see my nails and assume im a girl bcuz of it' and i dont even have 2 worry abt getting hatecrimed- not physically, anyways.
sorry that kinda got away from me . anyways - i think this would b them coming downstairs in the morning and hanging out in the living room for a bit talking to whoever's there. while they're distracted (so they dont protest/move) el takes this one . (shes also probably learned by now 2 always have her camera on her so she doesnt miss moments like this)
Tumblr media
this ones another one that would b in rhe morning af the hopper-byers' house . i also set it further in the future (for them at least) so it would make sense as 2 why they - specifically mike - would b this comfortable in the house. i just think that it would b such a safe space for the both of them and that they would act in a more carefree way than they would at the wheeler's house or anywhere else really. mostly bcuz joyce is the Best Mom™️ and she definitely creates an environment where every1 feels comfortable 2 just . b themselves in? idk i just really like joyce lol . she kinda reminds me of my mom in that sense . also i Had 2 have a will carrying mike in some way in here, i wouldnt b me if i didnt lolol.
anyways this ones mostly just self-indulgent lol. i Live 4 hella domestic moments
thats all i have 4 backstories but if u wanna read a fic w moments like this from me , its currently in the works and i have been posting abt it under the tag 'summer of 1988 fic things' if u wanna check that out :p (its inspired by these fanarts if u wanna look at those as well)

Byler and it’s Mike biking over to see Will in the freezing winter weather and when Will sees him his eyes go wide and he wraps Mike in a big hug asking why did you do that? Oh my god you’re so cold get in here, your cheeks are red, are you okay? Don’t ever do that again but all Mike cares about is finally being in his arms
(Or vice versa 🤭)

Mike and Will BOTH get vecna’d in s5 but instead of showing them each their worst memories, they show them eachother’s worst memories, because he knows that’ll hurt them even more. Stuff like: 
Mike, seeing will sob and starting to destroy castle byers
Will, seeing Mike jump off of the quarry
Mike, seeing Will all alone in the upside-down
Will, seeing Mike horribly depressed pre-s4
But it backfires on vecna because will and mike realize how much they’ve always needed eachother, how much they’re always going to need eachother.

when byler confesses to each other it can’t just be an “i’ve loved you for years”. it’s gotta be “everytime i see you i want to kiss you”. it’s gotta be “i can’t stop thinking about you when i try to fall asleep at night”. it’s gotta be “i want to hold you in my arms forever”. it’s gotta be “you still give me butterflies”.

I just feel like Mike and Will pine in different ways. Will knows he loves Mike and thinks about him all the time, doodles his name in his notebook and is so, so happy to see him; he just wants to be around his favorite person.
But Mike stays up all night because he can't stop thinking about Will, daydreams about him in class, puts too much emphasis on avoiding his touch. He so desperately wants to see Will that he built it up too much, and now he thinks its weird, he's weird. Being around Will hurts, and Mike doesn't know why.
(He does know why)

i'm such a lumax and byler go on double dates truther
will asks lucas how basketball is going for him and lucas tells will he should draw something for him sometime. overall a wholesome conversation between best friends.
and then you have max and mike arguing over which one of them would last longer in a horror movie.
"obviously, it would be me!"
"mike, you would trip over a tree branch and accidentally impale yourself with it."

Will keeps hair ties on him for whenever Mike needs to tie his curls up out his face and Mike keeps pencils/pens/and paper on him whenever Will feels the need to draw something

Idk why, but I have this S5 headcanon of Byler having some emotional climax, maybe in the UD, and then waking up in this lush and verdant paradise.
Like a version of the UD that's green with gold light streaming in from above the trees, where all the demo-creatures are just big flowers and the bats are like, butterflies or something. Instead of a nuclear winter- blue wasteland with mutated creatures, it's a peaceful place full of non-irradiated vegetation.
(yes, this is partially because of Byler blue + yellow and together they are the key, but also I just think it'd be so nice to see them off in their own little world for a minute where everything is safe and beautiful)

Will the most beloved headcanons part 3: Byler edition! (AKA Mike being a simp headcanons)
Mike doesn’t like people touching his face. Like he’ll nope away from someone just trying to poke his cheek. But with Will? Complete opposite. Will can pinch his cheeks, trace his jaw, feel his forehead for fever - anything and everything
Same goes for hair touching, too. Nobody gets to play with his hair but Will
Mike is particular about his D&D character design and he only accepts changes or suggestions from Will
Mike likes to trade Halloween candy with Will and Will only (because Dustin, Lucas, Max, and El are quite judicial about trading candy lmao)
Mike sits still for nothing except when Will is painting him
When Mike gets his driver’s license, Will is his passenger princess for life and no one else can even dare to dream of taking shotgun
Similarly, when it’s raining, only Will gets to share umbrella space with him (like, come on, Dustin and Lucas can just deal with it)
Will is Mike’s dedicated beta reader for his novels
On that note, Will is the only other soul who’s seen all of Mike’s self-proclaimed embarrassing short stories and Star Wars fanfics
Also on that note, Mike only writes poetry for Will (duh)
Mike hates carrying big heavy things but when he and Will move into their place together, you better believe he did all the heavy lifting and made sure that Will didn’t to avoid Will getting hurt (even at the expense of himself, rip)
Okay so I headcanon that both Mike and Will are afraid of stray bugs in the house, but Mike will step up and kill or evacuate bugs for Will anyway
Mike thinks that sitting on someone’s lap? Someone sitting on his lap? Way too much body heat, way too close for comfort, get off me, dude. But he and Will splay over each other all the time because it’s Will, and Will is cozy :)
Similarly, doing footsies is so stupid. But with Will it’s adorable and Mike’s a giggly mess
Random but Mike only likes how Will makes eggs out of everyone in the Party (and he won’t eat it if it’s not Will’s lmao)
Now, Mike does readily lend things - paper, pencils, erasers - to other people in class, but he’s not too keen on it. But if Will needs something? He’s giving it with a bona fide smile
Mike also sometimes doesn’t like lending his time for that matter. Trying to help people with homework is exhausting, especially after being a tutor for Holly sometimes but if Will’s struggling with some homework Mike may as well have his doctorate in education
Mike thinks that it’s funny if someone has food on their face and he might not mention it but for Will he’ll go out of his way to remove it
Over the years of being together, Will has learned to beware mentioning that he likes or wants something, because Mike is buying/obtaining it plus a million different versions and styles
Mike doesn’t like singing or playing guitar in front of anyone but he’ll make an exception…
