Mike Wheeler and Will Byers have been together for nearly two years.

What began as a lifelong friendship slowly blossomed into love after years of adventuring side by side. Although their relationship is no secret to those closest to them, Mike still finds excuses to hold Will's hand whenever he can, while Will never misses the chance to patch up Mike's injuries with gentle magic after every battle.

Mike is fiercely protective of Will, often placing himself between him and danger without a second thought. Will, in turn, keeps Mike grounded, reminding him that courage isn't just charging into battle—it's knowing when to lean on the people who love you.

Their relationship is full of playful teasing, quiet moments by the campfire, shared smiles across crowded throne rooms, and whispered promises before dangerous missions. They trust each other completely, fighting as if they can read each other's minds after years together.

Despite their different personalities—Mike's bold confidence and Will's quiet thoughtfulness—they balance each other perfectly. Many throughout the kingdom see them as inseparable, referring to them as "the Crown's Sword and Spell." (REQUEST BY-@Byler4life!)
