I have theories and I'd like to share them so here it goes.
Vecna is partially controlling Will. Hear me out.
Straight up control? That didn't work, look at his first vessel. Will fought back, so he swung the opposite way. Making life TOO good for the kids and 2 broke free. So a middle ground. Show him what could happen and then prove it by pushing him to come out to everyone. He can't fabricate that and create a perfect world where Mike loves Will back since will doesn't believe Mike could ever love him back. So make him realize nobody would accept him. But everyone important did. So he pivoted, make him miss things, hide people's reactions, tweek them a bit through Wills eyes. Keep him busy and focused enough on other things so he can continue to use his first vessel through his subconscious.
