Do you guys perhaps think this too?
Do you guys think that "It was a seven" moment in season 1 could have been used as the foundation for a friend's to lovers' slow burn. Do you guys think that there should have been one thing added to it to show Mike having secret romantic feelings for Will like him looking touched that Will did in fact tell him or do you guys think that moment would have been the perfect foundation regardless?
Because even if it was used to show their relationship as only platonic, especially since Stranger Things was originally supposed to be one season, it was still clear that it was supposed to establish that Mike and Will were closer than anyone else in their friend group which I'd why Will couldn't lie to Mike about the dice even if Lucas told him to do so. Since does make sense because Mike and Will seem to know each other the longest in their friend group, too.
