Mike is an normal 15 year old. He's been through hell and back with his sexuality. He doesn't know whether or not he likes girls or boys. He's made out with girls but he feels different when he makes out with guys. He's had his eye on this one guy. Will. Will byers, the prettiest boy in the school. Well that's what half of the school thinks. Will gets straight A's, doesn't talk back to teachers, and actually answers questions in class. On the other hand, Mike. He's totally different. Gets C's and D's, yells at teachers, sleeps in class, and doesn't answer questions. He sometimes catches Will staring at him. Which in his defense is a good thing. A sign of Will liking him back. Although Mike likes Will he's still confused with his sexuality. The only gay/bi people he knows is his sister Nancy, his older friends Steve, Robin, and Eddie, his best friends Dustin and Lucas, and Will's best friend Max, and his sister Eleven. Since he knew that Steve, Lucas, Max, and Nancy were bisexual he decided to ask them. Just to having a better understanding in his sexuality.

||MIKE'S POV||

I knocked on my sisters door softly. I heard her footsteps get closer to the door. The door knob turned and opened revealing my sister. "Hey Mike! What's up?" She asked with a warm smile. I took a deep breath. "There's something important I need to talk to you about." I said getting this huge weight off my chest. "Okay. Come in!" I walked in and sat on her bed. She closed the door and sat next to me. "So what did you want to talk about?" She asked sitting in a criss-cross position. "H-how did you figure out your sexuality?" I asked quietly but still audible. "Well...I kinda just knew. I'll ask you some questions and you have to answer them with honesty, okay?" She asked. I answered with a small nod. "Have you made out with a girl?" "Yes." "Did you like it?" "Not really." "Have you made out with a guy?" "Yes!" She paused for a few seconds then continued. "Mike...I think you're gay. BUT if you ever find girls attractive at some point then you're bisexual." She said which made me tense up. "Can you tell me who you like though?" She asked with a small smile. "Uh..his name- his name is Will Byers." I said looking down at my lap. "Jonathan's little brother!? Mike, you've got yourself a good one!" She said clapping which made me look up. "What do you mean?" I said visibly confused. "Well..from what I heard it seems like he likes you too! Jonathan told me. and I also heard that everyone relationship he's been in..he got broken up with because he was too good of a boyfriend. Never argued, never cheated, never complained. Oh my god! I can't wait for you guys to confess!" She said jumping around happily making me smile. "Should I confess tomorrow?" I asked making her stop jumping and look at me seriously.

"No. No. NO! Not at all! You have to be sneaky with your feelings. Don't confess too early. He might not be ready yet! Tomorrow, me, you, Jonathan, Eleven, and Robin will have a meeting about how you should confess, okay?" She asked. I nodded with a smile. "What time is it?" She looked at her watch and went wide eyed. "YOU'RE LATE FOR SCHOOL!" She screamed making me jump up. "WHAT!?" I said running out of her room. "THANKS FOR THE CONVERSATION! BYE!" I said before running out of the front door to school. I made it to school before the bell rung. I ran to find my best friends until I bumped into someone making them fall. "Ow.." They said. I looked down and saw Will. "I'm sorry! I was trying to find my friends! Here." I said holding my hand out which he grabbed. I pulled him up back on his feet. "It's fine! I was trying to find my friends too!" He said before the bell rung. "Shi- well I gotta get to class! I'll see you around!" I said before running away smiling at the interaction I just had with my crush. I can't wait to confess.

Mike got to class seeing his best friends already at their shared desk. He sat down next to Dustin breathing heavily. "Jeez Mike, I thought we talked about sex in school." He said jokingly. "Yeah yeah whatever. I wasn't having sex. I was running because I was late. But I did run into Will." I said finally catching my breath. "Really!? what happ-" Lucas was cut off by our teacher. "Anything you 3 boys want to share with the class?" Mr.Annoying asked. "Oh my god..can't three best friends have a nice conversation without you shutting up? Gosh go get a girlfriend." I said making the class laugh. "Detention after school!" He said with a voice crack. "I don't know why you keep sending me to detention, i'm not gonna go." I said sitting in my seat with my legs spread. "I- you know what? Don't go then." The teacher said turning back around. "I won't" I whispered with a laugh.

"Finally, lunch time." I said rubbing my empty stomach. I noticed Will, Max, and Eleven walking into the cafeteria. "Hey guys. Let's go over to them." I told them pointing over at the 3 best friends. "Mike, Eleven and Max are dating. You have no chance." Dustin said with a snall laugh. "I like Will, you dumbass. I said rolling my eyes walking away from the two over to the other three. "Hey guys!" I said to them. "Hey Mike..." Will said shyly. "Hey!" The couple said at the same time. "You guys wanna sit with my best friends? We could be a party of best friends!" I said with a warm smile. "Sure!" Eleven said walking over to a table. I sat by the wall with Eleven in the same spot infront me, Max next to her, snd Dustin sat next to Max. Will sat next to me really closely and Lucas sat infront of Dustin. 5 of us were laughing at enjoy our lunch and Will was dozing off. I didn't notice he was dozing off since I was throwing pieces of bread at Eleven and Max until I felt a head on my shoulder. I slightly turned my head I saw a sleeping Will on my shoulder. "Your brother is adorable." I mouthed to Eleven making her smile. She nodded in agreement.
