Byler or Mileven?

With this new Stranger Things season about to drop, and it being the last season that will wrap up the show, I've been noticing alot of discussion about Byler (Mike and Will ship) and Mileven (Eleven and Mike ship). I wonder what yall think of it?

In my opinion, I don't mind either ship, but I just don't think Byler will be possible. I am not denying their chemistry, but when you think about the full picture, it feels... unattainable. Let me explain my thought process.

Joyce Byers, Will's mother, is now Eleven's caretaker, after moving to California. That is my first point. Will views eleven like a sister, trying to look after her and teach her what is right and wrong. Not to mention, Eleven has saved his life countless of times. Will already has a problem expressing how he feels, therefore, i feel with him having feelings for his practical sister's boyfriend would make him feel bad, making him just keep it to himself. We all know Will would do anything to make people happy, even if that means he himself with be sad. I think it is one of those situations. Example; that painting that he made Mike and claimed Eleven did, or something like that. Not too good of memory of that right now, sorry.

Point 2, starting off with this new season, Mike and Eleven haven't even broke up yet, and don't have anything leading towards that at all. It is hard to believe they will break up, Mike will come out, AND get with Will on in one season. Especially since, leading from my last point, Will is not the type of person to do that to his friend, especially since it is eleven's first love and connection after leaving the Facility. It is also Mike's first love, he would not be able to get over her so quickly. We see how much eleven and mike love eachother, even from first sight. It is hard to believe that would just disappear. 

Even if Mike and Will do get together, it will not happen quick enough for it to be in this season, it would be years down the road. It would also break the whole friend group up. In season 3, when eleven "dumped his ass", max and eleven stopped talking to the boys until they absolutely had to, due to finding out about billy. Even then they argued. Eleven and Max would leave the friend group, bringing us right back to where we started.

I am in no way against byler, i just wanted to share my thought process and maybe hear from others who think byler will happen, and hear what they think will happen because it may change my opinion. But as of right now, I really dont think it would be possible for them to get together on the show. I can see will confessing then dying maybe, or even mike dying after or before will confesses. I WANT OPINIONS!!

honestly if either, i would choose byler as a relationship is the last thing eleven needs in s5, hg was learning how to french kiss before she was completely fluent in english. mileven was cute in the beginning but it eventually got toxic and i just can’t see them staying together being a good thing lol. i’d even be okay with neither happening i just think byler is the better option, i do agree that it would potentially split the group up and may feel rushed but i think everything they would go through would kinda outweigh that due to their shared trauma
