That Night In Castle Byers (Stranger Things)

FANDOM: STRANGER THINGS
SHIP: MIKE X WILL

-

There were three people that Will would allow into his little forest hut that he called Castle Byers. Jonathan, his brother. Joyce, his mother. And Mike Wheeler. Most people figured out that Mike liked Will, but what they couldn't figure out was if Will reciprocated those feelings, and I'll tell you a story about that right now.

It was late at night, two hours before Will's curfew, and he was reading comic books in his little forest hut. He loved reading X-Men and Marvel comics, it was one of his favourite things to do. When suddenly, his other favourite thing came along.

"WILL IT'S ME, OPEN UP." Mike screamed.

"You know my door is always open to you, Mike, no need to yell." Will said sarcastically.

Mike came in through the entrance and sat down next to where Will was laying. Will put down his comic and flipped onto his side to face his friend.

"Did you need something?" Will asked.

"Can't a friend come and say hello?" Mike played with his own hair.

"I guess so, I was just wondering since you seem a little distressed." Will shrugged, "Everything okay?"

Mike pondered telling him for a few seconds and started bouncing his leg. He wasn't sure whether or not he'd ever be welcomed back in Castle Byers if they had this conversation. He had no clue what he'd even say or if he'd even have the right words for this.

"Mike?" Will snapped his fingers in front of Mike's face.

"Sorry um- Just thinking about... you." Mike said the last word very quietly.

"...What about me?" Will asked curiously.

Mike froze, looking between Will's eyes, and his lips. Will got the memo from just that, and they slowly leaned in.

And then kissed.

The kiss only lasted a few seconds, but they knew it was what they'd been wanting for a long time.

By the time they stopped, they started getting tired.

"Would your mom mind if we slept in here?" Mike asked.

"Maybe... but I wouldn't." Will lay down on his side, grabbing blankets and covering himself with them.

Mike lay down with him, grabbing the blankets and putting them over the both of them. Will moved his head into Mike's chest, becoming the little spoon. Mike instinctively placed his arm over Will and his hand behind Will's head.

Will mumbled something incoherent into Mike's chest.

"What was that?" Mike asked, looking at Will as he lifted his head up.

"I love you." He said.

Those feelings resonated within Castle Byers forever.
