I thought I lost you (byler)

Consequences

(MIKE POV)

My head goes through great turbulence as I wait for him to say the words back.

He says it back.

HE.SAYS. IT. BACK.

Crap.

This is happening... this is really happening?

This is how it is supposed to feel when you say it.

The words.

I love you.

We both smile at each other:  both of us drenched in rain.

What do I do next?

What am I supposed to do next?

I glance at his lips. I've never been able to stop doing that.. staring at his lips. It's usually accidentally or sometimes just in straight up envy. I always wondered what if... what if maybe..

I realise we are both just standing in silence soaking as the rain continues to pour down on us .

"I- ummm.. so what what now?" Will says quietly looking down.

I step closer towards him placing my hand under his chin pushing it up causing him look back up at me.

Don't be a pussy Michael. Do it. Fucking do it.

I've never kissed a guy before. I always wondered how it would feel to kiss Will...I wondered if things were different...what it would be like.
Now, I have the chance and I am going to screw it up.

Shit.

I feel my heart pounding harder than ever as I start to struggle to compose myself. Anxiety hit my chest like lightning .
I take a deep breath in.

His eyes are so captivating; I could get  lost in them for hours. He is so beautiful. Perfect. i watch through  the rain as his breath quickens. At this moment, we both drown in anxiety... fear of what is going to happen next.

Fear of what could happen next.

"Mike... maybe we should just go-" Will starts to say.

Screw it.

I place my hands on each side of his rosey   cheeks pulling him towards me. Before I know it, our lips are touching one another.
He doesn't pull away. We both wanted this : for him, potentially longer. In this moment we are both our true vulnerable selves. Our hearts ignited. Kissing had never felt like this with El... even at the school ball.

These few seconds felt like decades. In this single moment millions of memories are shared between the two of us.

Crazy together.

I eventually pull away.

I don't know how long that kiss lasted but it felt like eternity.

Pure euphoria buzzes through my body.

We both go red as a smile emerges on the horizon of each of our lips.

I want to kiss him again. I want this single moment to last forever.

"Come on, let's go inside." Will smiles and takes my hand leading me back through the window.

I feel myself flush as he holds my hand.

Our hands separate when we enter back into his room.

I wish it didn't. I miss the warmth and comfort of his hands. His touch made me feel at home.

I am at home.

"I'm umm I'm going to go change in the bathroom."I blush.

Will nods and uses his right arm to hand me some of his clothes.
