It was around 11pm and the party was still hanging down in Mike's basement, all crowed in the "coziest place in the world" as Dustin would say. El had her head on Max's lap who was laying on one side of the couch, Dustin and Lucas sitting on the floor snuggling with each other while eating popcorn that Max had made earlier. Mike had his face buried in Will's chest as Will played with his hair, both of them on the other side of the couch. A movie that may I add Max and El insisted they needed to watch, because apparently it's "The greatest love story ever!" It really wasn't that bad, it was actually quite entertaining, but if we're being honest the only people really watching it were El, Max and Will; considering that Mike was half asleep and well Lucas and Dustin have been trowing food at each other for fifth teen minutes straight!

The main character was about to kiss her love interest when the power shut down. That happening made three specific people very much on edge and close to panic attacks and those people consisted of, Max, Dustin and Mike. Which would probably surprise a lot of you, but a thing about lights had probably entered there triggers after..the events.

Max had abruptly stopped running her hand in her girlfriends hair which made El aware that something had set her off. Dustin had a look of pure anxiety across his face clutching his boyfriends hand. Lastly, Will could heard Mike's rapid breaths as he buried further in his chest trying to bloke reality out.

"We'll go check the power box, cmon Mike," Will was really trying to get any excuses to get out of there friends gazes to go and calm his boyfriend, alone and not stuck in a basement with no power. Mike slowly, but surely got of the couch and the moment he did, Will following after, he tightly grabbed Will's hand. They started walking up the stairs, while the other four were going to calm each other down.

When they got up the stairs he knew there wasn't anyone up here, Nancy was at a friends house and his parents where..well he didn't actually know where they were.

Will brought Mike over to the living room, deciding to go check out the power when his boyfriend wont be in the start of a panic attack. He sat a very shaking Mike on the couch crouching down to be eye level with him. "Hey, Mike, love I need you to try and breathe with me, okay? Can you do that?" Will said in the softest voice.

Mike took a moment to register what Will had said before nodding tightly, his muscles being ver tensed up. "Okay, that's good. Let's start off with holding in our breaths, okay? Okay, inhale..1 2 3 4..exhale.. 1 2 3 4," Will started saying as Mike tried his best to match the breathing pace Will was telling him. Mike's breathing was getting steadier each time they would breath in together, but it immediately came in in a série of short pants when the lights started flashing.

Mike had quickly trow himself in Will's arms burring his head in Will's neck closing his eyes tightly. He was clutching on Will's shirt like a lifeline, like if he would let go very thing would happen again. He hated feeling like that, but he couldn't help it.

Will on the other hand immediately knew it was, because the lights were about to start again and they flashed before they did. He had tangled a hand in Mike's hair trying to calm him down as he ruined a hand up and down his back. "It's okay, you're okay. Everything is fine," Will whispered in Mike's ear.

Mike's breathing had gotten steadier around ten minutes later, but the tears that had builder up in his eyes were running freely down his cheeks. Will could hear small sobs or hiccups in his ears accompanying the warm tears running down his neck. "I got you, everyone is okay. It was just the power," Will whispers.

Mike nods a little against Will's neck before taking in a shaky breath. He than mumbles, "I'm s-sorry." Will looks at his boyfriend dumbfounded. Why is he apologizing? "What are you apologizing for, love?" Will asks.

"F-for all my f-fucked up p-problems," Mike quietly replies.

Will feels his hearth sinking a little at those words. "You never have to be sorry for feeling things, its normal. After what we've all been trough its okay to have triggers and problems, we all do. As long as you dont hide them, than it's okay. I love you," He kisses the top of Mike's head.

"Love you t-too," Mike replies kissing his neck gently.
