Will's POV
I was waiting for Eleven to come home from shopping with my mom, we have grown really close since we moved house. I had to tell her something, I had to tell her about my crush on her boyfriend, well ex, Mike and El broke up a couple of months ago now. She never told me why though? I heard her walk in causing me to jump,
"Hey El!" I said smiling nervously,
"Will? Is something wrong?" She asked cautiously obviously reading my expression.
"I need to tell you something...but please don't get mad!?" I sighed, here goes.
"You like Mike." Before I could even start El cuts me off. How did she know?
"What?" I shouted in shock,
"I see the way you look at him...the way he looks at you." I almost missed the last part as El whispered it. I was in shock and honestly did not know how to reply.
"I'm sorry El, I know you two love each other." I apologized, I felt so bad but I've been in love with him for years, before we even met El.
"But he's in love with you." I was taken back by them words. I almost wanted to laugh, she had to be joking.
"What no he loves you." I argue shaking my head.
"Will it's okay. I'm happy for you, and as long as your both happy how could I ever be upset..." She replied but I could still hear the sadness in her voice.
"I'm sorry." I repeat still speechless. She shrugs in response and turns to leave the room but I stop her.
"El are you okay?"
"Someone great once told me 'when life hurts you, let it, hurt is good' (Hopper 😭). I promise I will be okay." I nodded and gave her a tight hug before rushing to my new room grabbing the radio praying I get some kind of signal.
"Wheeler do you copy, over?" I asked into it. Not even a minute later I got a response.
"Byers!" he almost shouted down the line.
"Hey I think I need to tell you something?" I whispered but loud enough so he can hear.
"What is it Will?" He asked sounding more serious now.
"I um I like you. I- I have for a while now and then I was at a place ready to open up but El happened and she's like my sister and I love her but I love you and I'm sorry, shit I'm so sorry!!" I blurted out realizing I had just told MIKE I love him.
"Will?" Mike (aha I put Finn the first time) called down the radio snapping me out of my thoughts.
"Yeah?" I forced out.
"Did El ever tell you why we broke up?" I shook my head and almost face palmed as I remembered he couldn't see me, "No?"
"Well, it's because I like someone else" My heart dropped.
"Oh..." My voice broke.
"No, no, no Will!!" Mike panicked, "It's you! Shit it's you I like!" Omg. Oh. My. God. Me? ME???
"Byers??" Mike said as I never replied.
"You like me?" I ask.
"Of course I do!" He giggled causing me to giggle. I couldn't describe the feeling I felt in my stomach but I love Mike Wheeler and he... HE LIKES ME! But what about El?
A/n: This is a short one.

If we get a season 4 (UPDATE WE ARE AHHH) I hope we see Eleven and Will get closer!
