mike wheeler is the most ride or die person to ever live, like he knew el for like thirteen minutes and was already like “if anything happened to you i would kill everybody here and then myself”. he jumps off cliffs for his best friends. he spends multiple days in the same pair of jeans and hoodies to sit by his friends hospital bed.
but in 1x07, when nancy says she was worried about him, mike says “uhhhh” before saying he was worried about her, too. because mike can’t seem grasp that people could care about him the way he cares about them.
