They are subtly hinting at this idea that Will doesn‘t have to say things outright and spell it out in order for Mike to understand because Mike&Will can understand each other without words:

hello anon!!!

2 - who giggles uncontrollably while the other picks them up?

100% will byers r u Kidding me. mike is canonically the Will Byers Protector™ and i think he would constantly be picking him up and swinging him around and will sometimes pretends to be annoyed by it but he always gives in and ends up giggling into mikes neck like an idiot

3 - who compliments the other in front of everyone?

ooh ok so i hc byler as a very (badly) flirty couple but in v different ways if that makes sense? i think they would both do this, but mike would do it jokingly to try to fluster will (it doesn't work) and will would look him dead in the eye and say something twice as sappy with a completely straight face and mike would fuckign melt

8 - in a coffee shop au, who'd be the worker and who would be the customer?

i love this one either way tbh!! mike is the obvious cringefail loser incompetent barista but they r cringe4cringe and will is equally capable of behaving like an absolute lunatic where a pretty customer is involved (see: thea wiseatom's you are sick (and you're married))

12 - when did they first fall in love with each other?

mmm ok there are lots and lots of different ways to interpret this and i don't particularly have an exact moment for when they actively fell in love w each other (i think it was too gradual and natural to have a specific starting point) but i would say will was the first to figure it out, probably prior to s1, while mike figured it out at the end of s3.

(i will add tho,, i do think there's smth to be said for the concept that mike actually knew his feelings for will when he was younger and made an active choice to ignore them and/or genuinely thought he liked el and convinced himself the will thing was a fluke. not usually the interpretation i go with for fics etc but maybe worth exploring??)

13 - who likes to give the other hugs from behind, followed by a kiss?

this is another either/or type of situation, but i do think once will knows he's Allowed he'd be the clingiest bf ever and do things like this all the time. However in re my previous statement abt mike being the Will Byers Protector™ i think mike would also need to constantly be hugging/clinging to will in some way bc That's His Job!! (it's maybe for his own reassurance too but. no one else needs to know that >:-()

Every black girl is so pretty

*reblog if you agree*

thinking abt how next season there will be a real, canon reaction from Mike regarding wills love for him
