mike and will knew eachother mike spent his summer growing up on his nana’s farm so the two of them had met at a young age on the swings near the community center
the two boys just lost connection cause mike stopped visiting his nana’s farm after middle school so he stoped seeing will and then his nana died so mike moved from the big city do to in the letter his nana sent him before she passed telling him if he ever got bored of the city that the farm would now be under mikes name
mike moves from the big city to stardew valley and he meets some new town people and reconnects with old one. an old friend of mikes is working at one of the shops in the town and it's will and there’s like an instant attraction between the two of them bringing up some old feelings from the two of them featuring bar tender will (who hates alcohol bc of his dad but needs the money) and mike the new farmer (scrawny white boy who can barley lift the tools)
featuring wills sister who likes eating rocks(el) the guy who's a reddit mod and plays dnd in his basement (dustin) the sculptor who lives in a shack in the woods (max) the jock who always finds a way to be in the woods near the sculptors house (lucas)
so that’s like the background now time for the head cannons tee hee
* mike hundred percent tries to visit the bar every day just in hopes of seeing will working
* mike works his ass off to try to fix the community center cause that’s where he first met will
*will uses the bar as a place to display his art and mike hundred % tries to buy all of it
*the them meeting and becoming friends is exactly the same as regular strangers things because i firmly believe that that’s how they meet in every universe
*once the community center is fully complete mike also goes and repairs the swing set next to it and finds will there one day
*Mike asks will out on the same place they first met
*mike and will often see each other in the mines cause will is there getting gems for el and mike is there cause he’s a simp
I love them so much if you want more please send me request
i, in fact, finished this before stranger things day ended (okay i finished it like 5 min before it ended)!!! ANYWAY. i saw this tweet and i just HAD TO draw it. so heres my version of how i see this scenario happening! hope you like it <3 (haha funny i drew byler art back to back)
remember when nancy couldn't say "i love you" to steve so she sat on the car with jonathan to have a heart-to-heart conversation.
and remember when mike couldn't say "i love you" to el so he sat on the car with will to have a heart-to-heart conversation.
and the fact that wheelers are on the left and byers on the right and there are soda cans in both scenes. wheelers are opening up about their feeling while byers are hearing and comforting them... come on! that has to mean something!
People saying “I hope that if Will and Mike won’t end up together, Will still gets a love interest.” Is crazy because I don’t think Will “but you make (me) feel like (I’m) not a mistake at all” Byers is physically capable of looking at another human being.
