""What's your reaction to everyone wanting Will and Mike to be together?" Cohen asked, instantly sending Schnapp, 21, into a nervous fluster. "Oh man, are we live? Um," he said, twisting in his chair. "I think... I mean look, it's like a real kind of authentic representation of a queer kid in the '80s. I've dealt with that myself, being in love with a friend and maybe they don't love you back or they feel differently," he said coyly."
"For years, 'Byler' has caused a split between the Stranger Things fandom, with some being devout believers that the friends will end up as a couple, and others believing that Will's love for Mike - which was confirmed during season four - will only ever be unrequited. After the first four episodes of the fifth and final season were released at the end of November, fans were left with no answers as to whether the duo will become more than platonic besties."
Noah Schnapp reacted nervously when questioned on whether Will Byers will end up with Mike Wheeler, describing the storyline as an authentic representation of a queer kid in the 1980s. Schnapp said he had personal experience with being in love with a friend and acknowledged feelings might not be reciprocated. He declined to spoil plot details and said showrunners conclude the story well. Schnapp confirmed he is satisfied with how the show ends despite the cast not yet having seen the finale. The fandom remains split over whether the relationship will become romantic after season four confirmed Will's feelings.
