chapter 2

mike pov:

when we finished eating will asked me if we wanted to go for a walk and of course i said yes. it was already dark outside but that didn't matter to us.
i just love spending time with will. i would never tell him that but the last few months were horrible without him. as much as i love my other friends, with him it's just different. i feel like he's the person who understands me most, that's probably the reason why he's the only one i feel comfortable with opening up. it's usually hard for me to talk about feelings and stuff like that but with will it feels so easy. i'm so glad to have him as my best friend.

we were walking by wills school and i noticed the light in the gym is on and you could hear music.
"is there a school festival today?" i asked. "oh yeah it's just a ball but nothing important" "nothing important? it's your school you should be there it looks like fun" "i mean i would it's just there's no girl i could go with" "why don't we just go together then?"

did mike just rlly said that? before i could answer anything he took my hand and slowly ran towards the gym. before we entered he stopped and looked at me waiting for my reaction. "sure why not" i said and tried not to smile too much. i mean it's not that big off a deal, you don't always have to go ball with your partner it can be ur friend too. it just didn't seem like other people would think like this as well because as soon as we walked in, hand in hand, it felt like everyone was looking at us.

i still couldn't believe what was happening. mike put his hands on my waist and without thinking about it i put mine around his neck. my heart started pounding like crazy again. we danced to the music and i closed my eyes and enjoyed the moment. i remember dancing with a girl on the snowball a few years ago, but all i could think of back then was how i wanted to dance with mike. and now here we are, dancing closely together. i opened my eyes and noticed mike staring at me. but he wasn't the only one. at this point basically everyone was staring at us. without looking around i can feel their glances. but i didn't care. i just blended everything out. it was only mike and me, looking into each other's eyes.

there it was again. the feeling i also had when seeing will at the airport. idk what it is i've never felt this way before. it's such an intense feeling but i can't describe it. all i know was i love being this close to will, i enjoy his touch, and i don't ever want our friendship to end. "eyy will i knew you were a fa*got", someone screamed behind me. i turned around and saw a tall blonde guy looking at will in disgust. "just ignore him", will said and he looked embarrassed. but i couldn't. i was so mad i wasn't able to control my anger. i turned around and.. hit that guy in his face.

definitely not my best idea since i knew he would hit me back, but that didn't matter rn i had to defend will. i'm not letting anyone talk about him like this. i tried to act like it didn't hurt but i started to feel really dizzy. "mike!!", will screamed. "are you okey??" "are you okey", someone started mimicking him. "let's just go okey", i said. will put his arm around my waist and helped me walk outside. he looked really worried. then i noticed will has to go to this school everyday and now i'm the reason he's getting made fun of. "i'm sorry", i said "it was a bad idea we shouldn't have gone together" he looked kinda sad when i said this.

"it's not your fault mike", will answered quietly. we didn't talk much on our way back home, at least not until will saw the blood under my eye that i tried to hide from him. i had to convince him it's doesn't hurt to bad, since he was so worried, which i thought was kinda.. cute. will took me to the bathroom and i sat down on the bathtub. he got a flannel and kneeled down infront of me. actually he was between my legs and when i noticed that i got nervous. he carefully put the flannel on my wound and with the other hand he touched my other cheek.

i looked in his eyes. he still looked so worried even tho it's not even that bad. i started looking down and noticed myself staring at his lips. then suddenly for a second i got this urge to kiss him. at the moment there's nothing i want more than feeling his lips on mine. i was shooked about myself when i realised what i was thinking about. we're just friends.. obviously. i mean that was probably just some random intuitive thought. i quickly looked away to avoid eye contact. "let's go to sleep", will said and i nodded.
