*Wills pov*
I open the bathroom door, and to my surprise I see mike sitting there he looked like he had been crying. Mike never cries so it was quite surprising to see, he immediately jumps up wiping the tears off his face.
"Mike, have you been crying?"
"What? No of course not, boys don't cry." That's bullshit I cry, a lot probably too much.
"You should've knocked you know? I could've been taking a shit or something." He laughs although it sounds very forced.
He tries to walk past me, he tried to walk away. I would usually just let him go, let him walk away. But today I stopped him. I blocked the door with my whole body.
"What the hell dude, let me past. He says trying to shove past, I wouldn't budge.
Finally, he expects defeat and just sits on the ground. His knees touching his chest, hands covering his face.
I hesitate, but I sit down next to him. I just look at him for a few seconds his hands still buried into his pale face, his long, dark, curly hair, in a mess around his face. I hesitate before placing my hand on his knee.
He removes his hand from his face, his face is lightly drenched in tears, and then he looks right at me, his beautiful brown eyes looking right into mine. And then down to my hand, which I remove quickly.
"Listen mike you can tell me anything. So what's wrong?" He sighs and looks back at me
"It's so stupid, it's just that elven." He pauses for a minute "this is stupid why would you even car-"
"I do care." I grab his hand before trying to quickly pull away.
"I'm sorry." He grabs my hand, our fingers interlocking. He stares at me for a minute "mike, you can keep talking, I'm listening." He hesitated before beginning his words once again.
"Elven broke up with me." I should've known this conversation was going to be eleven-related it always is. I just sit there listening, our hands still touching.
"She said it was to protect me, but I've never needed protecting." He scoffs
"I know the real reason why she broke up with me anyway."
"Why? Why is this so different she's dumped you before." Memories of elevens "I dump your ass." run through my head.
"It just is! I mean I know she has her reasons."
"Then what are her reasons?" I ask gripping his hand, Harder. Not even noticing how hard I was, shit I was probably hurting him, I stop gripping his hand so hard.
"Her reasons, well for one, she doesn't need me."
"What! Of course, she does. Why would you say that."
"She has superpowers for crying out loud."
"Nobody needs me anyway." He says looking down at the floor, beginning to fidget with his fingers on his other hand.
"What! Mike now your just telling lies! I need you, without you, I probably would've just died the upside down."
"To be fair your mom did most of the work."
"But you never gave up on me, you never stopped trying to find me." I didn't realize it but I'm starting to cry now "you were there the whole time I was in the hospital, you were there when I was possessed, you were there for every episode of mine so don't you dare think that I don't need you."
He's crying more this time, tears running down his eyes "it just sometimes feels like everyone's better than me like once everybody gets bored of me they'll just discard of me like trash, like shit, like nothing."
"Mike, you are my everything I will never get rid of you ever."
"Why not? I've treated you like shit for the past two years. Just get it over with, just leave."
"No." I say firmly "I won't walk away, I never will." "I- I love you, Mike." I blurt out like word vomit, my voice sounds shaky with each word.
He looks up to me in silence for a minute "I love you too will, but you shouldn't love me I'm a mess, I'm a freak."
I sigh before spilling out everything, everything, or, at least mostly everything I've always wanted to say. "Mike I'm- I." I pause was I about to? Fuck it I let my feelings get the best of me
"I like guys" I blurt out sobbing
"Oh." He says. I fall into his chest sobbing he hugs me tightly, silence. Silence. I breathe in between my sobs
"It's okay will I- " he says rubbing my back
"No, you probably think I'm some crazy freak." My voice trembling with each word. He grabs my face lifting my head up with his soft, comforting hands, forcing me to look at him. His beautiful brown eyes and his long fluffy locks are illuminated by the dim bathroom light.
"You know what I do think you're a crazy freak."
"W-what?"
"Will if you're crazy, we'll be crazy together." I look up and wipe the tears off my face
"Crazy together," I repeat
"Crazy together." We say in sync looking at each other.
The fact that I cried while making this-
I'm projecting if you couldn't tell.
Here's the music I listened to while writing this :))
