Mike Wheeler - He is 16. He has a strong sense of loyalty and a desire to protect those he cares about. He has had warm feelings for Will since they were 6 years old, but he dates El because he suffers from internalized homophobia. He is an optimist, morally compassionate, and very devoted to his friends, usually going to great lengths to help them. Of the four boys, he is the most emotionally open and quite trusting, willing to accept fantastical explanations for difficult situations. Mike is phlegmatic, reasonable, stubborn, and very loyal. Mike has high ideals, especially when it comes to friendship. When Will goes missing, Mike is willing to do anything to find his friend and help him, and for Dustin, he jumped off a cliff when they were kids.

Will Byers - he is 16. A modest and reserved schoolboy with extraordinary creative abilities. He draws wonderfully, differs from his peers in his balanced and calm character, emotional sensitivity. However, he is not used to sharing his thoughts and experiences even with his best friends. No one knows about his orientation and feelings for Mike, he is very afraid of condemnation. When he was little, he visited the inside out. El is his sister, not his real one.

The Byers family lived in California for a whole year, they moved there from Hawkins. And Mike's parents allowed him to fly to California for the summer holidays. Mike was literally on edge. All on edge! He didn't know what to do, how to behave?! But now he was standing at the airport, his hands were shaking. He was holding a small bouquet of yellow forget-me-nots. His gaze ran nervously around the airport. Mike tried to convince himself that he missed El, that El was waiting. No, not Will at all..!
