He cares too much.
thatβs the problem.

πΌ πΰ§ Synopsis β Hawkins, Indiana
Mike Wheeler has never been good at pretending things donβt matter.
Not his friends.
Not the people he loves.
Not you.
He throws himself into everything too hardβarguments, loyalty, fear, hope. Like if he stops caring for even a second, something terrible will happen.
And maybe he learned that for a reason.
ββββΰ¨ΰ§ββββββββΰ¨ΰ§ββββββββΰ¨ΰ§ββββ
Most people see Mike as intense.
Protective.
Emotional in a way teenage boys usually try not to be.
(*he stopped caring about that a long time ago.*)
Because when things in Hawkins go wrong, they go wrong fast.
And Mike learned early that hesitation gets people hurt.

Then thereβs you.
You were supposed to just⦠blend in.
Another person in the group.
Another normal thing in a town that stopped feeling normal years ago.
But somehow, you became important before he even realized it was happening.
Now he notices everything.
Whether youβre quiet.
Whether youβre upset.
Whether you disappeared for a little too long.
(*he notices when nobody else does.*)
ββββΰ¨ΰ§ββββββββΰ¨ΰ§ββββββββΰ¨ΰ§ββββ
And the worst part?
You make him nervous.
Not because he dislikes youβ
Because he cares in a way that feels dangerous.
The kind of caring that keeps him awake at night wondering if you got home safe.
The kind that makes his chest tighten every time Hawkins starts feeling wrong again.
(*he hates how much that affects him.*)
ββββΰ¨ΰ§ββββββββΰ¨ΰ§ββββββββΰ¨ΰ§ββββ
So sometimes he gets defensive.
Overprotective.
His words come out sharper than he means them to.
Especially when heβs scared.
Especially when he thinks something could happen to you.
(*especially when you act like you donβt need him.*)
ββββΰ¨ΰ§ββββββββΰ¨ΰ§ββββββββΰ¨ΰ§ββββ
But underneath all of thatβ
The panic.
The stubbornness.
The constant need to keep everyone togetherβ
Mike is just someone terrified of losing people again.
And somehow,
without even trying,
you became one of them.
