Unhinged Things My Professor Says: You Should Contact Finn And Noah And Send Them That Gay Wizard And

FINN WOLFHARD and NOAH SCHNAPP STRANGER THINGS 4 4x04 “Chapter Four: Dear Billy”

here’s a small fic i wrote ig

Hopeless. 

Mike stared at the boy laying on his chest, who was doodling a forest. He watched his meticulous pencil strokes skid across the page, shocked at how Will managed to create masterpieces with the simplicity of some graphite. Will’s head is right next to his, focused on his work, sticking out his tongue. It drives Mike crazy. He is hopeless. 

Will smells like lemons and cinnamon. A smell that lingered whenever Mike decided they would “borrow” his sweater. Then Will would roll his eyes, and tell him that maybe he should return the other ones, but there is no malice in his words. In fact, it’s the opposite. Will’s voice is a sweet syrup that cures the ugliest of Mike moods. A syrup that, when Mike isn’t cautious, causes a lump to form in their throat, and their face to warm up. 

They sat in a comfortable silence, until Will’s hand got crammed up forcing him to set down his hard work for a couple seconds. Mike grabs his hands, and kisses them. This made Will get flustered, like he does every time this happened, which was always. However, it only worsens whenever Will realizes Mike is watching him with awe. An adoration adorns his eyes like flowers decorate a field or lights decorate a tree. They are filled with a joy brighter than the sun, and more intense than moonlight, and all of his attention was dedicated to a boy he met on a set of swings years ago.

Mike closes the distance between them, giving Will a short and sweet kiss. 

“What are you thinking about” Will asks

“How much I like your sweater” Mike replies, as Will rolls his eyes.

As little as Will wanted to admit it, he liked taking Mike’s sweaters almost as much as Mike liked taking his. They smell like peppermint and laundry detergent. They smelled like home, they smelled like Mike. 

“I would use one of my sweaters” he teased “if my boyfriend didn’t steal all of mine”

Mike smiled, kissing him again.

People sometimes look at Mike as if he is complex. Incomprehensible. He hates it. He hates how alone they feel because then he’s stuck with all the emotions they don’t understand, creating a fire of hatred that has accumulated over the years by comparing these emotions to the ones their parents expected of them. However, Will always seemed to understand. He would look at Mike once, and hold his hand calming the avalanche in his brain. 

The truth is his emotions are not that complex. His love is a 4 letter word who has been around before he knew what love is. A word that possesses all the beauty in the world, and all of the happiness Mike had. A word that has all of Mike’s good memories, and was there when things were rough. His love sat in a river made of galaxies, giving his love moles to cover the stars he had.

I love Will Byers, he thought to himself I’ve loved him since the moment I saw him alone on the swings, but now i’m in love with Will Byers and I don’t know when that happened

Eldritch upsidedown-ified will byers, coming right up

the shadow monster

mind flayer will is an absolute most for season 5

here’s my take!

clear ver:

I JUST REALISED WILL AND BILLY ARE BOTH NAMED WILLIAM?????? HOW WAS THIS KNOWLEDGE SLIPPING MY MIND FOR SO LONG HELLO

Thinking about the fact that Mike and Will are insinuated and blatantly shown to be attached at the hip, crying-screaming-throwing up over each other for an entire decade and now fighting / showing signs of romantic interest in each other (one confirmed)….but NOT ONE SINGLE SOUL over the course of this entire show (including their parents) has ever called their relationship brotherly or said they were like family?

honestly I’m still floored. Like.

As someone who has watched a million and a half shows and movies, “you’re my brother” or “they’re like family” is one of the easiest plausible deniability things you can do in writing to give yourself an out for a queercoded friendship (especially one with a confirmed gay character)…and the duffers absolutely refused to do it—and instead gave the familial coding to mlvn. It’s iconic.

“you can’t even look at me!”

„I didn‘t say it“/„You didn’t have to“

They are subtly hinting at this idea that Will doesn‘t have to say things outright and spell it out in order for Mike to understand because Mike&Will can understand each other without words:

"Mike...Mike! I don't want to be wearing turtlenecks for the next week. Its Summer," Will said as Mike kissed his neck.

"You look good in turtlenecks," Mike mumbled, pulling away.

Will smiled at him. "I'd melt in a turtleneck."

"You'd be my adorable gooey puddle of Will the Wise," Mike said, leaning closer to pepper Will's face with kisses.

"Eww gross. I'd rather not be a puddle of gooey me," Will laughed.

"You forgot the adorable in that sentence," Mike said with a grin.

Will took Mike's hand in his and kissed it. "No, you're adorable."

"No, you."

Will shook his head, "Nope, you're definitely more adorable."

Mike looked at their hands and his heart fluttered. "What if we're both the most adorable. More than everyone else."

Will nodded excitedly. "Yes! We are the most adorable in all of the land!"

He leaned in to kiss Mike, but Mike lunged at him and gave him a giant hug. "Hugs first," he said, "kissing later." And he squeezed Will, who smiled into his shoulder.
