Hawkins High - 8:00 AM - Friday

Will's POV

Will fell to his knees on the tile floor, grabbing Mike's shoulders and shaking him.

"Mike? Mike can you hear me?" He panicked.

"Will?" Mike said groggily, his breathing shallow.

Will brushed hair out of the way of Mike's nose so he could see the damage. His nose was still bleeding and a purple bruise was forming. Dry blood covered his face and shirt. Will bit his lip, hoisting a barely awake Mike up and putting his arm around his shoulder for support.

Despite everything Mike had done, all Will could feel towards him was pity. It was understandable that Mike didn't want everyone knowing, and even though he knew he shouldn't, deep down, he forgave Mike. The fight in the rain was rough, but Will could tell that Mike meant everything he said.

"Will? Where are we going?" Mike's voice was weak, barely above a whisper. Will ignored the question and continued walking Mike to the nurse. Will had positioned Mike's arm over Will's shoulder, and Will had his arm around Mike's waist. Wills free hand moved up to Mike's, giving it a comforting squeeze before letting go to push open the door to the nurse's office. He assisted the nurse in laying Mike down on the bright white bed. He gave Mike one last look before leaving, making his way to 1st period, which he realized now that he was extremely late for.

Byers Residence - 4:00 PM - Saturday

Will sat at his desk, doodling mindlessly in his sketchbook as he listened to the mixtape his brother had made for him. He looked down at his paper and realized that on his paper was a stylized sketch of Mike.

"Shit." He muttered as he erased the sketch. All he'd been thinking about The past day was Mike. Even though Will still wanted to hate him, he just couldn't. His apology in the rain had seemed so genuine. It broke Will's heart telling Mike that he didn't love him.

A throbbing pain in his nose reminded him of why he said what he said. He sighed as he made his way to the bathroom, swallowing down a couple pills as he examined his nose. It was still heavily bruised and the swelling had barely gone down. His arms and legs were also covered in bruises from tripping on his way to the nurse when he woke up from Troy and Mike's tormenting.

"Mike," He whispered as he ran a hand over his nose. His hand trailed down from the bridge of his nose to his upper lip, which was also swollen and busted open. He thought about how it had felt kissing Mike in the cold morning air, how Mike's warm hand rested on Will's face as they leaned into each other.

Will couldn't stand it anymore. He had to see Mike.

"Be back soon Mom." He said as he opened the door.

"What? I- Love you!" Joyce shouted back.

"Love you too!" Will slammed the door and mounted his bike, kicking up the kickstand and biking away. He vaguely remembered where Mike's house was from all the times he'd visited in his elementary years, and prayed as he biked that Mike still lived there.

He pushed his bike down into the yard and ran up to the front door, barely avoiding slamming face first into the door. He composed himself and knocked on the door, running his hand through his dark hair.

"Hi." Mike's little sister Holly opened the door. Last time Will saw her, she had just been born.

"Hey, is Mike home?"

"Yes. Who are you?"

"I'm his... Friend."

Holly nodded and slammed the door on him, yelling, "be right back" a she retreated into the house. Will stood there, his heart beating out of his chest.

"Holly, be a little more hospitable next time- Will?" Mike stood there in the door way, wearing gray sweats and a white tank top. His nose looked similar to Will's- Swollen and bruised. "Will, hey, what's up?" Mike stepped out and shut the door, pushing hair out of his face.

Will stood there, trying to find the right words. I forgive you? I love you? Nothing sounded right, so instead of using words, he grabbed Mike's face and kissed him. Mike's hands moved to Will's waist, and they lingered there for a second before Mike pulled away.

"Will, we can't do this here. Come inside." Mike squeezed Will's hand and opened the door, pulling him up the stairs to his room. They sat on the edge of Mike's bed, their hands resting on each others.

Mike smiled his stupid smile and pulled him into a kiss. His hands ran through Will's thick hair as they kissed. Mike pulled away, his hands resting on Will's neck.

"I'm sorry, Will, I really am. Whatever El told you at Scoops Ahoy was a lie. I do love you and I have since that night at the mall. I'm sorry for being stupid and letting Troy hurt you, I was scared and confused but I love you and-"

"Mike. It's ok. I love you too," Will let his hand rest on Mike's waist, looking into his dark eyes. "But what about El? What are you gonna tell her? And the rest of the school? Your family?"

"I'll be honest with her. She'll understand, I hope. And Troy wont bother me anymore. I'll get him to tell everyone it was a stupid joke, it'll all work out."

Will smiled and pulled Mike in, kissing him. Finally, peace.

HEY EVERYONE!! I have some news u guys might not like very much...

I'm discontinuing this story.

Before you drop a "noooo i need to know what happens!!!!" let me just tell you. It's exactly what you imagine. Will and Mike get back together, mike confronts el about what she told will at scoops, el and max eventually get together, mike and will live happily ever after, being the first gay couple at hawkins high to be accepted. see? boring. 

And now, the reason I'm discontinuing this story: I didn't plan it out before writing! I was stupid and just jumped right into a story without even having a plot in mind, and I sincerely apologize for my stupidity being the sole reason you guys will be left on what could technically be considered a permanent cliffhanger. 

But fear not!! The next story on my account will be one WELL PLANNED OUT and one I actually proofread before posting (laughs nervously) 

Introducing my next story: Fine Line, a byler college fic! between 30 and 35 chapters of cheesy college romance that I hope you guys will find just as enjoyable as this one. And don't fret, you wont have to wait long. The first chapter of Fine Line will most likely be out like 30 minutes after i post this chapter.

So say goodbye to this messy fic, and hello to a new, neat, and hopefully well written fic! 

ps the reason i wrote a whole chapter just to announce that i am discontinuing is because i didn't want to leave you on a HUGE cliffhanger. anyways ty for the support, i hope you guys will enjoy the next fic if you do consider reading!
