[@alexinator-hh5fe]

The fact that Mike didn't bat an eye when Lucas got together with Max or Dustin with Suzie but he suddenly started acting super weird and jealous immediately after finding out Will could potentially like some girl definitely isn't straight behavior. How El comments that she thinks Will is acting weird because of a crush. Then Mike gets to California and starts acting super strange. Hmm. The way that in the final shot of S4, all of the Byers are on the right side of their pairings. And two of those three pairings are slowburn couples. Or how Mike says his relationship with his other best friends is different from his relationship with Will. Yet despite all of this evidence, there's still probably going to be those, "Byler came out of nowhere" comments if it becomes canon in S5. Crazy. Crazy together, even

[@brookelindo]

i rewatched that scene and mike probably thought will liked angela. when el says she’s gonna hang out with her in the airport, wil says her name in a nervous way because obviously us the audience knows she’s a bully but mikes doesn’t know that so he probably thought that was wills crush. mikes smile slowly faded when he heard will mention her. when angela comes over to their table he looks between them, then when angela leaves with el, will stands up and watches them because he knows what’s gonna happen, but mike just looks down and drinks his milkshake casue he’s jealous. there’s a lot of reasoning behind the fight that they had but i think this is what made mike snap.

[@c.r.u.sh-culture]

Yeah, I agree. If it becomes canon some people are still gonna be like “ byler came out of nowhere” but. It didn’t. It’s been building up slowly since the first season and all the proof you need is right there in each season of stranger things.

[@liaistotallyfine]

If Byler isn't endgame next season then I severely overestimated the Duffer's intelligence. If it becomes canon it's one of the best written friends to lovers story ever. If it doesn't then half of their story makes no sense at all. Also, while I do believe it has a chance of becoming Canon, my biggest fear is that they'll either kill one of them off or put Will with some random dude we've never met in the last five seconds to show he's "moved on" from Mike as if Mike isn't literally the love of his life

[@PhysicallyAwake]

I heavily disagree. I’m all for Will getting a love interest but let’s face it, Byler is not endgame, it’s barely even a real canon thing in the show. The actors have chemistry together yes, but that doesn’t mean this was intentionally done by the Duffer brothers. I think Will has feelings for Mike, but I also think that it wouldn’t make sense for them to date, they’re two teenage kids in the 80’s. Mike has never shown interest in men, and having him question him sexuality on the last season of the show when he’s been dating a girl (whom I do think they shouldn’t be endgame either) for 2/3 of the show. If anything the relationship would be rushed and pander to an audience.

[@panrex2451]

​@@PhysicallyAwake have you not seen the video?? I'm all against rushed or forced inclusion, but this ain't it, they were hints of mike being gay sincr season 1 or 2

[@misschocolates]

@@PhysicallyAwake …We also haven’t seen Will being attracted to other men, except for Mike. The same *could* be said with Mike. It doesn’t have to be directly shown that Mike is attracted to men for us to speculate that he likes Will. For example, if Will likes Mike we can assume that Will is gay and is attracted to men. There doesn’t have to be “signs that he likes men”? Actually, I’m confused by that what does that even mean?

[@Krow_Kid]

Honesty it would kind of make since for El to die imo

[@vitaliy1858]

@@PhysicallyAwake I agree that there is a high chance it won't be canon, but just because Mike is dating a girl doesn't mean he is not interested in guys, there's a chance he is bisexual. Perhaps the writers will have Mike question himself and he'll have to choose between El and Will to create some tension. I really don't see why Mike wasn't even able to say "i love you" to El after being together for so long, so I'm guessing perhaps they're trying to hint that Mike is confused about his own feelings. Doesn't mean he doesn't love El, perhaps he feels something for both of them and that's what the writers are trying to hint at? I guess we will see, but that's my take on the intent for now.

Literally those two have hearts in their eyes during the van scene. Like the highlights in Will's eyes are actual hearts. At the end if Will's monologue/ confession, Mike has a faded heart in his eye (maybe meaning he returns Will's feelings). This is CRAZY. The Duffers could have EASILY put those little heart highlites in Mike's eyes during his love confession but nope.
