  Summary

  “Your crush? That Tammy guy, or whatever. If he couldn’t see how amazing you are, he didn’t deserve you anyways.” Mike explains, his gaze intense as he smiles at Will.

  And all Will can think is: he cannot be that dense.

  --------------------

  Or, Mike Wheeler is, in fact, that dense, and Will Byers decides to confess right before he sacrifices himself.
