Love Letters~ Byler

-5.2-

As Will entered inside, Mike was heading downstairs "What were you doing?" Mike said, "Oh nothing" the small boy responded. "Mhm" the room went silent for a minute, then Jane walked through the door. "Hey, y'all- Why is it so awkward in here, you guys look like one of y'all shit your pants". She then looked both of the boys up and down, confused. "Okay," she said as she slowly made her exit from the uncomfortable room.

Mike looked over at Will "Um let's watch a movie" he smiled, "Mike, we should focus on helping you study, we have a test Monday and-" Will tried to say before Mike cut him off  "AND we have tomorrow and Sunday to study and you know I'm a visual learner so this is hopeless" "It's not hopeless it's science there is always some kind of visual thing that goes with science, let's take a walk" "NO!" Mike yelled. "Why?" "Because you get tired and you always want me to carry you- you know what, never mind let's go on that walk" he smirked. Will nodded they both grabbed their shoes and headed out. As they headed out he noticed that the mailbox arm was up, he looked at ut quickly and then back at Will suspiciously.

15 minutes into the walk Will was already tired and was starting to give up. He stopped for a minute to catch his breath "Ho- ho- hold- on- M- M- Mike, let me catch my breath" breathing like he was running a marathon. Mike stopped and glanced at the boy, it was somehow funny considering he looks like he about to die right there.
He headed towards the boy and bent down signaling for him to get on his back.

Will gave a jump and landed on Mike's back safely, the tallboy made sure he was settled and started heading out to the house with the small boy on his back needing to catch his breath. "You know Will we need to start bringing a stroller for I can push you, you big baby" Will rolled his eyes and smacked Mike upside his head making the other boy laugh.

They made it back into the house, very sweaty. They opened the door and Mike put Will down gently, they headed upstairs well Will did. "Mike, I'm gonna go take a shower" "Yeah go ahead I'm gonna watch TV down here," the taller boy said as the shorter one headed up the stairs. As soon as he was out of sight Mike went outside and grabbed the letter that was in the mailbox and opened it. He brought it into the house reading it, when he lifted his head someone was there. Jane.

"I KNEW IT WAS YOU!" she yelled. He quickly put his mouth over her mouth, "Shhhh he could hear you!" "Sorry, but holy fuck Mike-"
"I know I know, but please don't tell him" "Don't worry I won't this is cute! But you could have told me I could have helped" "How?" "Well you could write the note and I could place it in the mailbox because Will maybe a lil slow but he isn't stupid. He would realize when things got suspicious" "Suspicious how?" "Like I don't know Mike when you leave him and then suddenly he gets a new note?" "Oh yeah true" "NOW what does it say," Jane said with excitement as Mike passed her the note.

She read it carefully, "This is so cute!!!!" she rubbed the tears coming down her face. Mike was confused why she was crying, it wasn't something he saw often. "What the fuck are you doing standing there? Get to writing before Will get's back! I'll be your lookout." "Oh yeah, you're right-".

He sat down and began writing.

"Hey Will, I can understand how weird this
might be, but I am a he if that makes it any better? Probably not because you still have no idea who I am and I cannot blame you for being curious. If I was you I would be just as curious, I also understand if this is weird for you it's weird for me too. Even though I started this, it's because I'm scared I know you are a nice person but I'm just not ready to show my identity... But I would love it if we could still talk. And about the part of you being humiliated before, so have I, and I would never want someone to go through that. I just really think you're amazing and really hope we can get to know each other a little  more."

Signed, secret admirer.

Mike finished just in time Will was heading downstairs he quickly put the letter in the envelope and quickly gave it to Jane. "Hey, William!" Mike said with a smile. "Hey??? Jane, what are you doing down here?" "I live here... William" "Um ok- Mike you can go take a shower now, lord knows you need it." Mike rolled his eyes playful and then went upstairs to take a shower.
