Wheeler family

In this commercial, where Ted Wheeler buys too many items from Target, Keith says, "You have eleven," when he was supposed to have only ten items.

I apologize if this is my Swiftie brain misfiring over false Easter eggs, but maybe Eleven is staying with the Wheelers for some time in Season 5...?

I really want some Holly and Will stuff in stranger things, like pleasssssssssssse. If I don’t get some Holly and Will content I will cry, It would be so cute. I want to see them drawing together so bad!!!!! Just imagine…

Something with Vecna is happening so Will goes to stay at the Wheeler’s house. Will spends the night and wakes up before Mike and Nancy, so it’s just Karen, Ted, and Holly awake. Karen is in the kitchen making breakfast, Ted is on the couch being useless, and Holly is just quietly coloring. Will walks down the stairs and peaks over Hollys shoulder to see her drawing something like a mushroom house with fairies flying around.

Will sits down next to her and says, “Hey Holls I like your drawing.” Holly smiles a little, a warm and proud smile, but still being a bit shy since she hasn’t really seen Will in a while. Will then ask, with a bright, welcoming smile, “do you mind if I sit here and draw with you?”

Holly’s eyes widen really big and she has a smile from ear to ear, “you want to draw with me!”, she says whisper shouting. Will nods his head still smiling as he sits down. He then brings out a portable music box thing (idk what it’s called😅) and unplugs the head phones turning down the music so just him, Holly, and maybe Mrs. Wheeler can hear. After awhile of them both drawing and talking about how school is going for Holly, she hands Will the picture she was making.

She then hands him the drawing she looks down with rosy cheeks (not a ship) and says, “I want you too have this, my sister and brother never really hang out with me, I wanted to give you this as a thank you before I go to school,” her voice getting warm, brighter, and less shy with each word.

Will feels like his heart is going to explode, “you are the sweetest Holly,” he say with so much softness and honesty.

Holly then looks at what Will was working on and ask, “who is that pretty red haired girl?”

Will looks at the painting and says with a slightly sad smile, “that is Lucas’s girlfriend, you remember him right?”

“Yeah? Why are you drawing his girlfriend?”

“Let’s just say she’s sick, so I thought seeing her like this might make him feel abit better, even if it’s not real”

“oh…” Holly says innocently after a long pause, “I hope she gets better soon”, she continues after perking up again

“yeah… me too” Their conversation gets interrupted by what a sounds like a clock, then foot steps, then Karen telling Holly it’s time to go. Holly quickly packs for things for school, then right before leaving she runs up and gives Will a hug. Will smiles, then gets an idea… :)

A few weeks after that Mike walks into Holly’s room, holding a carefully rolled up piece of paper.

”What’s that??” Holly says, curious

“It’s from Will” Mike replies looking slightly jelouse that he didn’t get a painting (byler🤩).

“For me??” Holly said wide eyed, as Mike handed her the picture. She’s carefully unrolled it to see something she would cherish forever! It was a very realistic picture of her with a white dress, fairy wings, flying, with two little mushrooms in her hand. Both Holly and Mike looked at the painting surprised.

Then Holly bursted with joy, “HE PAINTED THIS JUST FOR ME?!? MIKE, YOUR FRIEND IS THE BEST!!!!”

Mike snapped out of both the surprised and jealous feelings, chuckling lightly, “he really is, isn’t he”

Not gonna lie I wasn’t expecting to write a whole thing about this, like it was just supposed to be a short post….. buuuuuuuuut I don’t regret a thing😌

Unfortunately, like the title says, I won't be posting or commenting tomorrow because it's Thanksgiving tomorrow and I'm going to take a short break. Originally, I was planned to make a special Thanksgiving fanfiction starring The Wheeler family, with a special appearance by the Byers family, I cancelled it because Thanksgiving was coming up and I want take a bit of a break. But don't worry, I'll continue the Upside Down, The Returning of Eddie Munson and Camping Trip series. Maybe next Thanksgiving.

Karen & Ted: Do I really need to explain?

Mike: Been stalling i wuv u for too many seasons. Demolished relationship w/ El, too ignorant to even acknowledge Will's constant love admissions like seriously the last thing Will needs is a crush on the most ignorant hippo on the planet

Nancy: Just a cheater. Cheater. Off the bat. + calls a devoted boyfriend ________. I mean. Bro.

Honestly, Karen and Ted were terrible parents but you gotta give them some credit for being completely oblivious about Nancy and Mike being wanted by the CIA for 4 years.

Would it have made more sense if the Wheeler family had taken Eleven in at the end of Season 3, instead of the Byers? I'm inclined to believe so, but I'm curious what everyone else thinks. Please state your opinion below and include your reasoning for why or why not!
