I think Mike and Will’s first kiss should be in a quiet moment with little to no stakes — just a gentle, yet emotional, “hey, I want you to know how I feel” kind of moment. I think it would really showcase how different their relationship is from Mike and Eleven’s because Mike’s big, romantic moments with her tend to be dire or frustrating. His love for Will has never been like that. Sure, there have been dire circumstances, but even in those moments, love was soft and unprompted.

Sometimes I remember these two will kiss in season 5 and then I think about all the edits that are going to knock me off my feet. Seeing edits of will with his new haircut and also them KISSING? AND HOLDING HANDS? AND DOING WHO KNOWS WHAT IN SEASON 5? UGH it’s actually killing me like I need it more than air you don’t understand.
When your love interest has powers that he can’t control when he feels strong emotions… well can be pretty a mess.
Bonus 💋 (dw Mike will feel ok after this)
I share also the version without the panels
I wanted to try a less complicated style for the lineart, and I really like it! For the colouring I tried but it ended more elaborated than I established lmao
