I'm about to break your hearts

The Duffer Bros said they don't do fan service.

So what if... They don't give us a Byler rain kiss or upside down kiss... But a hospital kiss.

And Mike is the one in the hospital.

Will isn't the one who gets Vecna'd.

Think about it. Vecna targets people who have untold guilt and shame. Will is fully out to himself and he knows he's in love with Mike. That's a given. We know this.

However, Mike is denying his sexuality and his love for Will. He hasn't come to terms with it yet. He doesn't want to acknowledge it or confront it because of his internalized homophobia. He feels guilt and shame for what he is and for what he feels.

So what if in the first episode of Season 5, it starts off with not Will, but MIKE getting Vecna'd. Vecna takes him back to the skating rink, one of the worst days of Mike's life, to see Lonnie verbally abusing Will. Vecna then shows him other things like the day they saw them drag Will's fake body out of the quarry, and the day when Will moved away.

The party then brings Mike out of his trance by playing his favorite song "Smalltown Boy". He falls into Will's arms. Mike is broken, not completely, not as much as Max, he can still see, but a couple of his limbs are broken. While Will is cradling him and sobbing, he noticed something sticking out of Mike's shirt pocket. He can barely make out a "W". He pulls it out and looks at Mike questioningly. Mike struggles to say "It's for you. I wrote that for you." before he loses consciousness.

Later on it picks up at the hospital, where everyone is sitting there with Mike. They all leave slowly, leaving Will alone with Mike, who is still unconscious. Finally alone, Will pulls out the letter and starts reading it. His tears fall as he reads Mike's confession and apology. He gets angry and realizes what Vecna took from them, and vows to get revenge. While Mike is still unconscious, Will and the others jump into a gate and finally defeat Vecna.

He spends the next month sitting by Mike's side until he finally awakens. Mike sees Will rereading the letter that's been read so many times the paper is already worn. Will starts crying when he sees Mike finally awake. Their eyes meet and Mike looks down at the letter, his eyes asking all the questions he can't yet. Will nods and all he says is "I love you too. I've always loved you." before he leans in to softly kiss him, then gently pushing his curls off his forehead and letting their heads rest together.
