reunited

the sound of birds chirping and the smell of morning dew flooded the van. sunlight shone through the car windows and through the trunk. argyle and jonathan were still zonked out in almost the same position as the night before.

on the other hand, the two boys up front had been awake for quite some time now, chit chatting about dnd and what not, how things would be with the crew back in hawkins, and most importantly the idea of telling the group about their newly discovered relationship.

"do you think everyone will be cool about it?" will asked leaning toward mike who was eyeing a squirrel stuffing it's mouth with assorted nuts.

"i would assume so... i mean i'd hope they would be" mike stated becoming unsure with the whole new situation.

"i mean, i feel like there were times when max sensed stuff about me, but i don't know how lucas and dustin would take it." will sat still insecure in the car seat. he was annoyed that him and mike had to worry about this kind of thing, it's not like mike and el were breaking any rules.

"first off, of course max sensed something, she's max. also, we've known lucas and dustin forever there's no way they would reject us for how we feel." mike reassured trying to stay as positive as possible.

"and what about steve?" will started "i mean robin told me she was gay and that steve accepted her, but who knows what if it's different for me?"

"steve is practically our second mom, he'll definitely accept both of us." mike hesitated before adding "he'll probably just be mad at me for leaving el."

"he's gotta be there for all the children." will joked trying to lighten up the subject.

"yeah" mike laughed "i guess you're right."

will smiled briefly checking the sleeping toddlers behind them before pecking mike on the lips.

mike laughed and leaned into will pressing his lips onto the other boy. he trailed his hand up into will's hair and played with the wavy out of place strands. mike's breath hitched as will moved his hand down his hips. the two boys both knew they were too young to go further with this kinda stuff, but they couldn't imagine how much better this could get.

mike slowly pulled away from will's face admiring his red hot cheeks. "you're all red"

will blushed even harder hiding his face. "well you don't have to point it out!" embarrassed, will pulled his hands away from his face pointing at mike. "plus your face is red too."

"hey!" mike laughed pushing will's arm playfully.

"do you think they're ever gonna wake up?" will gestured to argyle and jonathan in the back.

"that's honestly a good question." mike responded climbing over the back seat to the trunk.

"we should probably wake them, it's 9:50 we need to hit the road." will stated pulling up his watch.

"alrighty" mike nodded before clapping his hands together repeatedly... and very loudly.

"hey! what the hell man?" jonathan rasped out rubbing his throbbing head. "what time is it?"

"9:50" mike stated blankly

"ugh shit!" jonathan pushed at argyle trying to wake him. "actually forget it he can keep sleeping." jonathan rolled his eyes before climbing to the drivers seat.

"argyle! wake the hell up!" mike kept clapping stomping his foot on the ground.

"hey look there's a coyote" will joked searching for a reaction.

"HUH?" argyle shot up and rubbed his eyes until they were red. "dude... did someone say coyote?"

"nope" will and mike stated in unison
