do you regret pushing those feelings away and hoping they'd disappear?

On a rainy night at the Byers house, what was supposed to be a normal movie night unravels years of silence and hidden feelings. As Mike laughs with Eleven, Will sits quietly, pretending everything is fine while his heart aches. When Jonathan pulls Mike aside and reveals the truth about the painting and the words Will never truly said, everything changes. The storm outside becomes a mirror of the one inside as Mike rushes to find Will, desperate to understand. In the rain, the truth finally comes out, and the walls between them crumble. What began as confusion and pain turns into an honest confession, and for the first time, they both stop pretending and finally see each other.

Will has been left out of his group. officially an outcast of his outcast friend group which he blamed El for and now that she's pulling Mike from him, things get hard to keep in.
