"Obviously, it was hinted at in Season 1: It was always kind of there, but you never really knew, is it just him growing up slower than his friends?" Schnapp said in the interview.

While Schnapp has refused to explicitly answer questions about Will's sexuality in the past, to him, it's always been obvious: His character is gay, and has been in love with Mike all along.

Noah Schnapp as Will Byers

Character age: As shown in the Season 2 episode "The Mind Flayer," Will was born on March 22, 1971, making him 12 in Season 1, 13 in Season 2, 14 in Season 3, and 14 or 15 in Season 4.

Stranger Things fans finally know that Will Byers is gay, but there were signs throughout the series pointing toward this.

Noah confirmed that Will is in love with his best friend Mike Wheeler, played by Finn Wolfhard, but doesn't want to hurt Eleven's feelings by confessing it.

I think Will was crying in the van because he knows that Mike will never like him romantically and return his feelings for him. A lot of people say that when he was talking to Mike about Eleven, he was really talking about him and his feelings for Mike but Mike didn't notice.

Many believed Max to have a crush on Mike, interpreting her wish for someone to buy her a ring as a hint to him. Though it is generally agreed that Mike wouldn't reciprocate such feelings. It is said by Kat Conner Sterling, the actress of Max, that Max did indeed have a crush on Mike.

We can't not mention the most important scene: Will's subtle love confession to Mike. As they drive their van to Suzie's house, Mike once again ponders over whether he's enough for Eleven, whether she'd still need him in the future.

“Now that he's gotten older, they made it a very real, obvious thing. Now it's 100 per cent clear that he is gay and he does love Mike. But before, it was a slow arc. I think it is done so beautifully, because it's so easy to make a character just like all of a sudden be gay.”

Sadie Sink (born April 16, 2002) plays Max on Stranger Things. Sadie is 20 years old. In Stranger Things 4, Sadie's character Max is 15 years old.

Is Will gay and in love with Mike? Abso-frickin'-lutely. Mike doesn't have any interest in Will, though. Mike, thoughts he's far from a good boyfriend, shows far more interest in Eleven than he does in Will.

In season four, a new aspect of Will emerged more fully; the teenager from Hawkins appeared to have a crush on his friend Mike Wheeler (Finn Wolfhard), and now Noah is confirming that Will is indeed gay and in love with Mike.
