love, mike
that sounds stupid, i know. you aren’t supposed to begin a letter with the end. it’s exactly the opposite of what they taught us to do when writing a letter in the 4th grade. but the thing is, our whole lives have been the opposite of normal. from being bullied, to meeting a girl with superpowers, to fighting monsters from a hell dimension, nothing in our lives have ever been in the norm. that’s exactly why we were ever bullied in the first place. because we aren’t normal, we don’t fit in. we never wanted to fit in.
ever since you moved, i’ve felt like a part of me is missing, like i lost you. i feel the same way i felt all those years ago when you went missing. that was the worst day of my life. it was also the day i met el. she’s the only reason that we were able to save you, she was the best thing that could’ve happened to me, or rather, us… at the time. i mean, el literally has super powers, but she was like us in the sense that she didn’t fit in either. she’s never going to fit in, we’re never going to fit in. but this letter isn’t about el, i guess in a way it sort of is, but it isn’t. i know that doesn’t make sense, but just bare with me here.
throughout this whole letter, i’ve kept circling back to not fitting in, to not being normal. hell, i started this letter with “love, mike,” which is entirely the point. i’m too scared to say it out loud, i’m too nervous to even acknowledge it most of the time but i just had to get it out, i had to write it down. i’m a writer, it’s what i do, and i feel like even if i did have the courage to tell you in person i wouldn’t even be able to get the right words out because i suck at articulating my feelings verbally and it would come out all wrong.
the point is that for the past 3 years, i’ve loved el, and i still do love el, that isn’t going to change.
i love her, but i’m not in love with her, not like i am… with you.
i love you, will. i love you so much that it hurts. it’s physically painful for me to not be near you, to not be able to talk to you everyday. you’re mom has that new telemarketing job, it’s why i haven’t been able to call. don’t get me wrong, i’ve tried, i’ve tried every single day for months, but the line is always busy. knowing you, you probably think that i’m ignoring you, that i don’t care about you anymore. which is not true at all, will, and i really hope you know that. i know i could’ve sent you letters, i send el letters all the time, but i knew that if i sat down and tried to write you a letter that i would start confessing everything i feel for you, pretty much like how i’m doing right now actually.
i think on some level i’ve always known. ever since that day we met on the swing sets, i wasn’t lying when i told you that that was the best thing i’ve ever done. you are the most important person in my life, i think you’re kind of the only thing that keeps me going most of the time. so yea, i’ll begin this letter with “love, mike” because it is exactly how i feel. it’s out of the norm, it isn’t what you are “supposed” to do, and i’ll begin every letter to you with “love, mike” until the day i die, because i’m in love with you. i love you, will. we are the exact opposite of what society wants us to be, and if i had to choose anyone that i wanted to be outcasts with for the rest of my life, i’d choose you. i would choose you a million times over. this all sounds crazy, but then again, we promised that we’d go crazy together.
it’s only fitting to end this letter with the way it should’ve began, so what you do now is totally up to you. god, i hope you love me too.
dear will

desperately need to know what mike, el, and argyle were talking abt while will and jonathan were in the kitchen.
Tumblr media
we already know that jonathan interrupted will and mikes intimate moment and something abt mikes face here shows slight panic or something and not just at jonathan bursting in and glaring at him like he wants to explode him with his mind.
mike probably didn’t want will to know abt milkvan bones yet
maybe milkvan got argyle’d and broke up, i genuinely believe argyle has the power to do that tbh. and the way mike is smiling just before he looks over, it’s different than his “cool” “cool” smile with will! he loves el, but platonically, and can you imagine how good it must feel for both of them to finally not have to pretend! honestly el or mike probably made a funny joke abt their relationship and they were laughing abt it before jonathan came in. milkvan bones and argyle gets the credit istg there better be a flashback to this moment in s5
idek if someone has already said this theory but it’s so real to me, it’s kinda plausible too like it could happen!
