mike pov:

did i really just tell joyce i like her son. omg what did i do. i suddenly felt embarrassed and teared up a little. but joyce turned around and smiled at me. i think she noticed my eyes were wet because she sat down next to me again and hugged me. i couldn't hold it back anymore and started crying in her arms. "mike", she says softly and hugged me even tighter. "you don't have to cry it's okey" "it's not", i said "wills is my best friend and he is a.. a" i couldn't keep talking, i would cry even more. "a boy?", joyce finished my sentence. i nodded. "but does that really matter", she asked "if you really like someone i think their gender isn't so important" joyce actually helped me so much at the moment. i needed someone to tell me this.

i detached from our hug and was now able to keep eye contact with joyce while talking with her. "but it would still ruin our friendship. there's no way he likes me back" "you really think so?", joyce asked me "oh mike i'm like a hundred percent sure he does like you back" i just couldn't believe that. "did he say that?", i asked. "there's no need for him to say that i'm his mother, i just know it. i see the way he looks at you, the way he acts around you, the way he talks about you". i couldn't believe my luck. maybe it is actually possible that he likes me back. i smiled. "thanks joyce", i said, then got back into wills room.

will pov:

on my way home from school i walked faster than usually because i just couldn't wait to see mike again.
i opened the door and mike immediately fell into my arms. our hug only lasted a few seconds but it was so beautiful and made my heart beat like crazy. „is everything okey", mike asked „did anything happen to you at school? did someone hurt you?" „no don't worry i'm okey" i answered. mike looked so worried it was unbelievable cute.

„hey boys, i have something for you too", my mom said as she walked into the room and gave us two tickets. i looked at them and couldn't believe what i saw. the cure concert tickets!! this evening!! mike and me looked at each other and started screaming then we both hugged my mom. „thank you so so much!" the rest of the day mike and me couldn't talk about anything else than the concert. we were so excited.

few hours later, at the concert

today is definitely one of the best in my life. i'm on a concert of my favourite band, but even better i'm here with mike. we had so much fun the last few hours, screaming the songs jumping up and down dancing, laughing with each other. god i love this boy so much. i felt so much adrenaline and i had butterflies in my stomach the whole time because of mike. in this moment i suddenly felt the urge to tell mike everything. how i feel about him, how i feel about us.

"hey mike" i screamed. i had to scream since the music was so loud. "what?", he screamed back. "i love you" but this time i didn't scream i almost whispered. he obviously didn't hear it. "what did you say", he screamed into my hear. suddenly i wasn't so brave anymore. "oh i just asked if we want to go to the beach together when the concert is over" "sure why not" he looked at me with the brightest smile and i couldn't keep my eyes off him he's too perfect.

when the concert was over, mike took my hand and whispered in my ear "let's go to the beach now". we were so full of adrenaline we literally ran the whole way to the beach, hand in hand. we were so exhausted that we had to sit down. surprisingly there was no one else, just me and him. we were talking about the cure, i was so excited i couldn't stop talking. until i noticed mike doesn't even listen anymore. "mike?" "sorry will i- i think there's something that.. that i need to tell you", he said.

"sure what's up?" i asked. mike stared at me for a few seconds then he put his hand on my cheek. i could feel how i got goose bumbs. then he leaned in and.. kissed me. i clothed my eyes and kissed him back. i couldn't believe this was happening. mike wheeler kissed me. after everything that happend between us the last days or even weeks i shouldn't be surprised. friends don't do a lot of the things we did but i was still surprised. i never considered it as possible that mike liked me back.

it wasn't a long kiss and after we broke the kiss mike whispered: " i love you too, will" i smiled. so he did hear me earlier.
