Michael "Mike" Tozier headcanons (AU 1920's Edition)
He used to go to the "The Vesper Lounge" with his twin brother Richard "Richie" Tozier. Who had to suddenly disappear due to their father finding out he was romantically involved with his best friend, Eddison "Eddie" Kaspbrak, throught the last letters they sent to each other.
As a result, Michael read those letters to convince his father he was misinterpreting everything, wich made him question himself if he's writing his own correspondance to Will, his own best friend since childhood, in the same way: with the same softness his brother's words had in order to say "I love you" to that person he'd known his whole life. But that wasn't wrong for him, because who didn't love his best friend to some weird extent? Even the fictional characters he was always creating had a stronger bond with their male best friend than with the girl they were supposed to rescue and live the rest of their lives with. And that scared him, since he wasn't sure if the rest of the world would see him the same way his father'd seen Richard.
He stopped seding letters to Will.
He knew a girl named Jane Hopper in "The Vesper Lounge". And he told Beverly and his father about her, but for some reason, only his dad reacted pretty well to the news. Beverly seemed awkward and asked him about Richie. Then, she melted with the other fans. His brother started singing.
