A — Acceptance — How long did it take for them to accept that they were in love? What were they like after accepting it?
mike didn’t realize he was falling in love at first. it crept up on him slowly through latenight conversations, bike rides around hawkins, and the way he always seemed to look for you first in a room. at some point he realized you were the person he trusted most. accepting it took him a while because mike tends to overthink everything, but once he did, his feelings became obvious. he started worrying about you more, standing closer to you, and always making sure you were okay before anything else.
B — Best Friends — What was it like to be friends with them? Have things changed since you started dating?
being friends with mike means always having someone who believes in you completely. he listens to everything you say, even the smallest details, and remembers them later. before dating, you probably spent hours in his basement with the rest of the group, laughing over games or movies. after dating, not much changed except the way he looks at you. you’re still his best friend first, but now his hand finds yours during quiet moments and he instinctively sits beside you wherever you go.
C — Confession — How did their confession go? Was it planned or was it out of the blue?
mike absolutely tried to plan his confession. he practiced what he wanted to say multiple times while pacing around his room, convincing himself he needed the perfect moment. of course, when the moment actually arrived, everything he rehearsed disappeared. you were sitting together on the floor of his basement after everyone else had gone home. he got quiet for a long moment before blurting out how much you meant to him. he stumbled over half his words, but the honesty in his voice made it impossible not to understand.
D — Date — What was the first date with them like? What is their go-to date? What is their dream date?
mike isn’t the kind of boyfriend who plans fancy dates. most of his ideas are simple but meaningful. riding bikes together, sharing snacks at the diner, or watching movies in his basement wrapped in the same blanket. he spends half the time worrying if you’re having fun. his dream date is honestly just a peaceful day where nothing weird happens in hawkins and he gets to sit next to you without worrying about monsters or danger for once.
E — Elapse — How long can they go being away from their s/o?
mike misses you faster than he expects to. if you’re gone for a few days he gets restless, checking the housephone more often or finding excuses to ride his bike near your house. he won’t always admit it directly, but his friends notice immediately. he just feels better when he knows you’re nearby and safe.
F — Fight — How often do they fight with their s/o? Do they apologize first or do they wait for an apology?
mike hates fighting with you. he’s emotional and sometimes speaks before thinking, but the moment he realizes he hurt you he feels awful. he’ll try to fix things quickly, even if it means awkwardly showing up with snacks or suggesting you watch a movie together to talk things out. he cares too much about you to let an argument last long.
G — Gift —What is something they would buy as a gift for their s/o?
mike’s gifts are thoughtful rather than expensive. he’ll bring you your favorite candy from the store, a comic book he’s convinced you’ll like, or a mixtape he spent hours putting together. every gift comes with the same quiet explanation: he saw it and immediately thought of you.
H — Hug — Do they like to hug their s/o? If so, how often do they hug them? What are their hugs like?
mike’s hugs are warm and slightly clingy in the sweetest way. he doesn’t always start them in front of everyone, but when he does hug you he tends to hold on a little longer than expected. if he’s nervous or overwhelmed, hugging you is one of the quickest ways to calm him down.
I — Introduction — How did you meet them? What was your first impression on them?
you likely met through the party. maybe through will or one of the group hangouts. mike’s first impression of you was that you were interesting but slightly intimidating. he tried to act normal but ended up rambling about something random because he was nervous and didn’t want the conversation to end.
J — Jealousy — How easily do they get jealous? What do they do in that state of jealousy?
mike isn’t overly jealous, but he does get insecure sometimes. he worries about whether he’s good enough or if someone else could make you happier. when he feels jealous he usually gets quiet rather than confrontational, trying to hide it until you reassure him without even realizing what you’re doing.
K — Kisses — What are their kisses like?
mike’s kisses start shy and soft. he almost always hesitates for a second before leaning in, like he’s silently asking permission. once he’s more comfortable they become warmer and more confident, but they always keep that gentle sweetness that makes them feel special.
L — Love — When did they realize they were truly in love with their s/o?
the moment mike realized he was truly in love with you wasn’t dramatic. it happened during a quiet moment when you reassured him after he was worried about something going wrong. hearing you say you believed in him made something in his chest settle. that’s when he realized your happiness mattered to him more than anything else.
M — Marriage — Do they ever think of marriage or how they would propose?
mike doesn’t talk about marriage openly, but he definitely thinks about the future. sometimes he catches himself imagining what life would look like years from now if you were still by his side. it’s a quiet thought that makes him both nervous and happy.
N — Nicknames — What nicknames do they call their s/o? What nicknames do they like being called?
mike mostly calls you simple things like babe or love, usually in a softer voice than he uses with anyone else. he gets embarrassed using overly cheesy nicknames if someone might overhear. however, if you call him something unexpectedly affectionate, like babydoll or pup(cringe but he would LOVE it and so do i), it completely ruins his composure. he’ll freeze for a second, face turned bright red, suddenly forgetting whatever he was about to say. it makes him weak in the knees every single time, even if he pretends it doesn’t.
O — Oath — What is something (i.e. a bad habit) they try to stop doing for their s/o?
mike tries to work on his habit of bottling up emotions. sometimes he keeps things to himself because he doesn’t want to worry anyone. being with you helps him realize he doesn’t have to carry everything alone.
P — PDA — What is their outlook on pda? Do they love it or do they hate it? What’s the most affection they’ll give their s/o in public?
he’s shy about public affection. holding hands or putting an arm around your shoulders is about as far as he’ll go in front of the group. if his friends start teasing him he immediately turns red and tells them to shut up.
Q — Quandary — What’s the most awkward thing they’ve dealt with since dating their s/o?
the most awkward moments usually happen when his friends tease him about you. mike instantly becomes flustered, stumbling over his words while everyone else laughs. he insists he’s not embarrassed even though his face is bright red.
R — Ruminate — How often do they think or daydream about their s/o?
mike thinks about you constantly. he zones out mid-conversation imagining what you’d think about something he saw or whether you’d enjoy a certain movie. his friends have caught him smiling randomly more than once.
S — Scent — What do they smell like? (i.e. peppermint or cedar wood)
mike usually smells like clean laundry and a faint hint of apple from the shampoo nancy insisted he start using “to help with his curls”…whatever that means. he doesn’t really understand what she meant by it, but he uses it anyway because she put the bottle in the bathroom and told him to. the scent is soft and familiar, the kind that clings to hoodies and makes hugs feel even warmer.
T — Talk — How often do they talk about their s/o in front of others?
he doesn’t intentionally gush about you, but you come up in conversation more often than he realizes. his friends notice immediately and tease him for it.
U — Unique — What’s something they would do only for their s/o?
mike opens up to you in ways he doesn’t with anyone else. he tells you about his fears, the pressure he feels to protect everyone, and the doubts he normally keeps hidden. trusting you with those things is his quiet way of saying he loves you.
V — Vulnerable — What’s something their s/o does that makes them weak to their knees?
when you take care of him after he’s been through something stressful, mike melts instantly. whether it’s checking if he’s hurt, fixing his messy hair, or simply sitting beside him quietly, those small gestures make him feel safer than anything else.
W — Witty — What was their reaction to making their s/o laugh for the first time?
the first time he makes you laugh unexpectedly, mike freezes for a moment in disbelief before grinning like he just accomplished something incredible. hearing that sound makes him happier than he knows how to explain.

i wanna be yours by arctic monkeys. full of yearning and emotions 💆♀️

what mike wants most in a partner is loyalty. someone kind who stands beside him when things get scary and reminds him that he isn’t facing the world alone.
Z — Zzz — How are they when it comes to sleeping? Are they a cuddler, a blanket hogger, ect?
mike sleeps better when you’re nearby. normally his mind races with worries about his friends and everything happening in hawkins, but when you’re next to him those thoughts quiet down. he often drifts closer to you in his sleep without realizing it, instinctively seeking the comfort of knowing you’re there. is the type to not let you move by wrapping his arms around your waist. would sometimes want to be little spoon.
