Moreover, Millie Bobby Brown has recently dished on just how perfect Mileven's relationship is, telling Digital Spy that she "always saw them in love". Let's be real, other than Mike's older sister Nancy (Natalia Dyer) and her boyfriend Jonathan Byers (Charlie Heaton), Mileven are the only sorted couple on the show this season. More than codependency, it's a relationship filled with the most seasoned and mature form of trust that we have seen in its contemporaries. And let's not forget that every time Eleven is in harm's way and absolutely crumbles after using an intense gush of her powers, she crashes in Mike's arm. And even in that case, Mike proves to be the best boyfriend ever and doesn't divulge why he has been lying to Eleven and keeping away from her.Įven after Eleven loses her powers, in the season finale, we see Mike constantly reassuring her that they will come back because like a battery, she just needs to recharge. A very frustrated Hopper, after failing to bring himself to speak sense into them, decides to scare Mike into not seeing her. They spend most of the time together after having discovered the wonders of making out and the only times they are not joined at the lips is when Hopper barges into Eleven's bedroom complaining about her door not being three inches open at all times. Season 3 kicks off with both Mike and Eleven being of freshman age at high school and their relationship has clearly skyrocketed. And things only get better with season 3, because this is where they step into teenage and conflicts arise - something that a lot of fans have complained isn't as endearing as their friendship was. The two immediately hit it off after Mike found Eleven as a lost and clueless child in season 1 and from there began their incredible journey of sticking together, still as kids, while Mike did his best to protect her until she was adopted by Jim Hopper (David Harbour.) And then their friendship turned into the most innocent, heartwarming kiss ever at the end of season 2. 'Stranger Things' season 3 gave us a lot of things to compensate for the two-year gap, but amidst evil Russian scientists and the Mind Flayer trying to take Hawkins down, what managed to touch us the most was the nuanced relationship between two central characters - Mike Wheeler (Finn Wolfhard) and Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown). She’s my friend! Whoa! So I was like, ‘I’m just gonna kiss.’ But she came in for the kiss, so it wasn’t me making the first move.This article contains spoilers for season 3. It was cool, but it wasn’t like, ‘Oh my gosh, I loved it.’” It was, though, a big milestone for him: "It was my first kiss! I was like, 'Oh my gosh, I’m kissing Sadie. So easy, in fact, that Caleb sought some advice from Finn before the big scene. "It’s easy to kiss him now! I know that sounds really weird, but it’s easy to kiss him!" "Finn is the only boy I’ve ever kissed," Millie shared. But you can’t deny the world Eleven and Mike at the Snow Ball! I don't know that it gets better than that."īut this wasn't the first time Millie and Finn have kissed on screen-they had a moment in the finale of season one, too-so they're basically pros at this point.

This is about all these characters coming together, and we were careful not to do things just because audiences wanted it.

"We kept our mouth shut for over a year, but this was destiny. "Literally, from the beginning, from the very first moment talking about season two, we knew this had to end at the Snow Ball," executive producer Shawn Levy told us at the Stranger Things premiere in Los Angeles. The plan was always to end the season this way. Weeks earlier, these adolescents were fighting off a pack of demon monster dogs-but here they're just as stressed, if not more so, about all the hallmarks of a school dance: first crushes, first dances, first kisses, first heartbreak.

They're ostensibly there to have fun, but the kids treat the occasion with the gravitas of a life-or-death situation. Season two of Stranger Things ends with ( spoiler!) what might be the purest scene in all of pop-culture: The gang attending the Snow Ball together.
