You guys just gonna mope around all break?
this is such interesting scene bc of multiple reasons:
its the next day after the roller skate rink “accident”, but also after the fight mike and will had about ignoring each other in the past year (that’s on both of them)
but it’s also after mike learns that el wasn’t telling/writing him truth, as well as will saying hes been feeling miserable the whole day, feeling like a third-wheel.
you can see so much of the pining, and concerned looks from will to mike. but this whole scene mike doesn’t even glance in will’s direction. and basically doesn’t notice him this whole episode (and the more mike doesn’t notice him, the more will looks).
but at the same time it does feel like he’s not ignoring him on purpose, but because of all the information he needs to process for himself.
and will is ever so patient with mike - and i think mike sees that. bc if he noticed at the skate rink how will was “rolling eyes, not talking”, then he can see how quiet, cautious will is again.
he goes to talk to el, trying to find out why she wasn’t telling/writing him what was happening there for real? but instead she turns it around, thinking he’s scared of her, and therefore unable to love her. it’s a clever exchange of deception and hidden insecurities within both of them, bc mike didn’t expected that.
he went to cali with intention to just be a perfect boyfriend and spend time with el, but instead el doesn’t make sense to him, and his best friend is sad. and mike feels it’s all his fault.
he couldn’t find the right words for el, even tho he knew what el wanted to hear, so if that’s was what he wanted to say back - he could have. but i have a feeling he needed to explain to her something a bit different.
he feels the fight with el is something they can’t come back from. so in the meantime, he tries to fix his friendship with will.
suddenly, with will it seems easier for mike to find the right words again. an apology, a reassurance back at will that he didn’t deserve how mike was acting towards him (*cough* since s3...)
we find out that mike’s been missing will a lot - “i feel like i lost you or something.” it could be that until he went to cali, he wasn’t sure how will feels about him, (- again bc of s3 and that fight, probably.) and he’s not sure how he feels about will, or about el. he’s just very confused.
but hopefully these conversations with will help clear up to mike at least a little bit of his feelings, opened up the possibilities that if he and will can still be best friends, than not all hope is lost. that, when they find el, he can explain, and then maybe tell will some things he realized along the way.

the urge to make a tiktok to that audio that goes like “but not funny as in haha... funny as in weird” except it’s just clips of people saying s1 el looks like a boy or mistaking her for will, and then mike still falls for her

With each season going backward in time through the seasons (s1 was in late fall/early winter, s2 fall, s3 summer, s4 spring) I'm wondering if s5 will end up back in winter but this time around (with the time jump) it would be New Year's. Maybe even a possible correlation between the countdown to midnight and Vecna's clock? Idk i just be sayin shit sometimes.

As a daily byler brainroot in my life, I was thinking of the byler van scene again. And I realized they cutted the "losing you it just hurt so much" out, so it would all be "more subtle" apparently for Mike, but... Has somebody pointed out already Mike's feelings after Will said that?
What if the subtle thing was Mike's reaction too? Bcs, we all know Mike had hearted eyes, specially at that moment.
+ the " i know El doesn't need me anymore"
Mike showing so much emotion after hearing that Will hurted the most losing him it's not subtle at all. LMAO

AU where both of them have two more braincells than in canon so Mike doesn't get all weird about hugging Will and Will stops a second to reconsider why he's so down bad for this clown-looking dumbass (affectionate)
