   Summary

   It’s not a suitable answer to ‘what’s wrong,’ because it’s very much what’s right about Mike— the best part of his person resides in the part of him that loves Will. Undeniable in the same way his heart pumps blood to the rest of his body, undeniable, like the simple fact that tomorrow, Mike will wake up and still love Will Byers. He hated himself for it, but it’s hard to deny the truth, especially when it's staring you in the face.

   or: 5 times Mike withholds his feelings for Will, and the one time he’s forced to admit it.
