29 - continuation of goodbyes

*mike and will aren't officially together - continuation of goodbye's*
*spring break of freshman year*
*mike pov*

I watch the land below me become farther and farther away as the plane climbs through the blue sky. I've only been out of Hawkins a few times before, but never this far away. It's a little hard leaving, but when I picture the palm trees and beaches of California, my mood is immediately lifted and I gain back my excitement.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Everybody fasten your seatbelts and prepare for landing in Sunny California!" the flight attendant says over the speakers.

I clip my seatbelt, staring out the window at the ground that is becoming closer and closer by the minute. I smile widely, doing my best to contain the excitement that builds inside me.

After Hopper came back, him and El moved to Kansas, leaving Will, Ms. Byers, and Jonathan in California. Before he left, we both told each other that we loved each other, and there hasn't been one day since I've thought of that moment with him. God, this week is going to be incredible.

I close my eyes in fear as the plane lands, and my hands shake with excitement as I grab my luggage from above me and shuffle through the aisle uncomfortably. I step off the plane and onto the walkway where I follow the line of people and suitcases, hearing the buzz of the airport in front of me.

When I get into the actual airport, the people that were once in front of me disperse and my eyes immediately search for Will. Finally, I see him and Jonathan sitting and waiting for me. I run with my suitcase to them where Will immediately stands up and wraps his arms around me.

"Mike!" he says, hugging me tightly. I drop all my stuff and wrap my arms around his waist, forgetting that everyone in the room existed.

"God, I missed you so much." I say into his neck.

"I missed you too. So much." he says, leaning away. When our arms finally detach, I see Jonathan with his eyebrows raised.

"Hey Jonathan!" I say, hugging him quickly.

"Hey, man! You're as tall as me now!" he says, ruffling my hair like I'm a little kid. Will rolls his eyes and we talk the whole way to his car and the whole back to his house where he shows me around and leads me into his room.

"I've thought about us everyday since you left." I blurt out, his head immediately turning around to look at me.

"Me too. I missed you more than anything." he says. Before I can think, I scoop him up in my arms and begin to kiss him passionately, our lips hungry and wild. His hands pull on my curls as I sigh at his touch, and his body becomes weak when I begin to kiss his neck.

"I love you so much."
