In Volume 2 of Stranger Things 4, Will Byers (Noah Schnapp) confessed his love for his best friend Mike Wheeler (Finn Wolfhard) but used Eleven’s (Millie Bobby Brown) name instead of his own. From that confession Mike is obviously very oblivious and thought he was actually talking about Eleven’s feelings. Later on we see Eleven struggling to save Max (Sadie Sink) from Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower). Will reminds Mike that he’s “the heart” of the party, and that’s what gets him to finally confess that he loves Eleven. So does that mean if it wasn’t for Will’s speech he wouldn’t have said it?
