Will is literally in love with Max and their love for each other will be what saves Hawkins. It started with Will and it will end with him with Max by his side in true heterosexual fashion.

Absolutely how could I have missed this...... Will never got announced as or has ever been said to the audience by the duffies as Gay and it was never explicitly stated as so. How could it be cannon?!? Byfeild for the win 🙅‍♀️🙅‍♀️💯💯

LETS GO HETERONORMATIVITY

STWG Prompt: Role Swap

Will peeked over his shoulder towards the back corner of the science classroom where the new kid was sitting. He was sullen, scowling with his arms crossed. His hair was choppy like he got it cut by his mom, too, but it was longer than Will’s, just long enough to start curling at the ends. Will’s stomach felt fluttery, but not the scary kind of fluttery he felt when he thought about last fall, no, this was the kind of fluttery that he knew he shouldn’t be feeling. The kind he heard Lucas whisper about to Dustin about Max.

The boy- Mike- looked up at Will and stared at him. Their eyes met for a brief moment and then jerked back down and Will twisted in his seat to face forward again. Max and Lucas had been staring too, and only after they looked up front again did Dustin twist to look back too.

Truly the least subtle people Will knew. He tried not to smile. He hadn’t exactly been subtle either.

It was after class that the four of them hurried to their lockers, Will avoiding his after the zombie boy note he’d found. Dustin and Lucas were nudging each other, shooting glances at Mike down the hall.

Max huffed. “I don’t understand why you’re so interested in this guy.”

“Didn’t you see his bag? He had an Atari pin! Maybe he’s been to the arcade. Maybe he’s the one who beat your Galaga high score!” Lucas grinned.

Max’s face twisted in irritation. “I don’t even care about that score. Besides, he looks annoying.”

“People can’t look annoying,” Dustin countered.

“I’m impressed,” she said, tone flat. “You’ve never looked in a mirror in your whole life?” She turned away, done with the conversation. “If you’re going to talk to him, have the decency to do it when I’m not looking.”

Will stayed quiet, and when the other two went to talk to Mike, he stayed by Max’s side. He usually stuck by her side. When they’d been little kids, she promised to be brave for him, since obviously he wasn’t. He’d been insulted at the time, but… well. She hadn’t been wrong.

He watched the other two talk to Mike and could feel it when Mike’s eyes flicked up and met his own. He hoped he wasn’t blushing as he gave a little wave.

Dustin came running back. “Presumptuous is good, right? Right??”

Max sputtered for a moment. “Why would that ever be good?”

“I told you!” Lucas pointed at Dustin. “I told you, man!”

Max sighed and rubbed a hand down her face. “Come on Will. We’ll be late for math.”

He followed, trying not to laugh.

Will didn’t know how long it had been. He gasped, breathing in hot air as he came back to himself, opening his eyes to see clearly for what felt like the first time. He could feel Jonathan pressed against his back, arms wrapped tight around him. His mom sobbed, falling forward to wrap him up tight.

Will couldn’t fill his lungs, felt like he’d been laid in a fire, but something about the warmth felt good, like he’d been laying in the snow too long and had dropped into a hot bath. He weakly grasped at his mom, eyes rolling over to look at the other figure in the room, Robin, before things went dark again.

The next time he woke up, a girl in dark, smudged makeup with messy hair was staring at him, Max was sitting next to the bed he was in, and he could hear the low voices of his mom and Chief Hopper in the hall. “Max?”

“Will.” She reached out for his hand. He watched the other girl’s eyes narrow at their hands, but she didn’t say anything. “Oh. Oh my god, you two never met, did you?” Her laughter was a little hysterical. “Um, Will, this is El. She closed the gate. She saved you. And us. Again.”

Will blinked. He knew there was medication coming in through the needle in his arm, it had laid a bleary blanket over the world around him. “El.” Her name was heavy on his tongue. “Hi.”

“Hello.” She sat down on his bed and wiped under her nose. What he’d thought was more smeared makeup was blood.

Will closed his eyes and searched for the last thing he could remember. Running through the school, looking for Max. Looking for Dustin’s creature, the one that had felt like the Upside Down. Mike-

Mike! “Please tell me Mike didn’t see me like this!”

Max’s grin was mean and told him all he needed to know.

Need me a semi-toxic dark humor 90s early 2000s type of feel Byler and Elmax fic where Will and Max team up to breakup their bestie's relationship cuz they tired of midleven bringing the mood down overall. I saw those looks Max and Will had when El dumped Mike's ass, they were amused. Literally, Max and Will were so ready to play games with their besties like they were so unserious about it, Will was ready to set up dnd and Max had that spy bottle game revving to go.

Madcleric/Madwise/Byfield got such mischievous youngest sibling energy. Funniest thing about it is that Will was jealous of El and wanted to hang with Mike, and Max unintentionally answered Will's wishes by telling El "he's treating you like garbage, get rid of him"

[bananasbyler]

I’m very interested in what all of Max’s letters say....

But, I’m definitely intrigued with what Max has to say to Will.

On screen, they have minimal interactions and when [spoiler] Max was being Vecna’d: there weren’t any memories of Will.

Did they have a friendship off screen? Does she admire him as a friend from afar?

[eightfifteen]

The only thing Stranger Things ever did wrong is not showing us Max and Will being besties on screen.

Max: How do you politely tell someone you want to hit them with the brick? Will: One wishes to acquaint your facial features with a fundame

"What are you thinking about?" she blurts suddenly, because sometimes Will is such a mystery and she wishes she could read his mind.

"It's stupid," Will answers quickly, looking down bashfully. She props her chin on her arms, gazing up at him expectantly. 

"Try me."

Will purses his lips. "You know how the sky looks, right after a thunderstorm? When the storm clouds clear, but the sun is still hidden, and you see that first piece of blue sky?" Max takes a moment to visualize what he means, and then nods, urging him to continue. "I was thinking… That's the color of your eyes."
