"are you a byler rain kiss truther or a byler upside down kiss truther"

BOTH. hear me out.

it's season 5. mike has broken up with el. he's found out that will lied to him about the painting. he confronts him outside the cabin, in the rain. will starts getting defensive, mike starts getting upset.

"i don't get it! why would you lie to me!"

will doesn't know what to say. he didn't think this would happen.

"because..." he falters.

"friends don't lie, will!"

that hurts. will snaps back without thinking, "oh yeah, because you've been SO truthful mike!"

mike is taken aback. "what's that supposed to mean?"

"all you've done this past year is lie! to el, to everyone! to me!"

"that's- that's not true!"

"really? so why did you tell el you loved her when you didn't?"

"i-i-"

"you've been lying to everyone! you won't even talk to me!"

"because i-"

"why, mike? what did i do? the world is ending and we might all die and you can't even look at me!" will is on the verge of tears now. "just tell the truth!"

mike struggles for a moment. "i- i can't."

will's face crumples. "that's what i thought."

he turns and walks off the porch of the cabin, into the pouring rain. mike is seized with panic. he can't let will walk away this time. he can't let him go again.

"will, wait!"

will turns, and mike kisses him.

it's messy, and the two of them are soaked by the lashing rain. it lasts only a moment, and then the two of them are breaking apart.

there's shock etched across will's face. "mike-"

this time, it's mike who runs away.

now he is the one cycling through the pouring rain. he gets home and runs downstairs to the basement, collapsing in the blanket fort he has there, with pictures of the party. pictures of will.

"stupid." mike shakes his head, tears and raindrops rolling down his cheeks. "stupid, stupid, stupid."

(then the episode ends or something idk i'm not the duffer brothers)

they're going off on a mission. mike's been avoiding will for maybe a few days now. something dramatic happens, like maybe a gate opened at mike's house (do a big gasp like i just wrote something really epic and cool. there you go). anyway they end up in the upside down, just the two of them.

mike is the first to break the silence. "i'm sorry."

will swallows. "about what?"

"you know what."

"why-" will clears his throat. "why did you do it?"

mike wants to lie. he wants to say it was a mistake, an accident. he wants to pretend like it never happened at all.

but friends don't lie. and will is a lot more than just his friend.

"because i wanted to," he whispers.

he doesn't look at will. he's scared to see the disgust on his face, the hate in his eyes. he's terrified.

"mike." will's voice is soft. he doesn't sound like he hates him. "mike, look at me."

mike does.

will steps closer to him. he looks nervous, but there's something else in his expression too. hope.

"i wanted to as well," he breathes.

and he kisses him.
