38 - i promise

*summer after freshman year*
*mike and will are on a break*
*mike pov*

I lay on top of my unmade bed, staring at the smooth ceiling above me. It's been a little over two weeks since Will and I got into a fight that was completely my fault, and he said we needed to take a break, which I get.

The other night the party was hanging out in my basement and everyone left except El and I, or so I thought. At first it was a little awkward since I broke up with El to be with Will a few months ago, but we started talking and it was just like old times. We laughed and talked for a few minutes until all of the sudden, she kissed me.

I pulled back as fast as I possibly could, but it was too late. Will had forgotten his jacket and was standing on the stairs, and he saw us kissed.

I decide it's time for me to give him a proper explanation, so I grab his jacket that I have been keeping on my dresser, and hop on my bike. It begins to rain lightly, then harder as I pedal, but I just flick my wet curly hair out of my face until I'm standing on his doorstep drenched.

I kick a few times before hearing some shuffling, and Will swings the door open a few seconds later. His face drops when he sees me and he takes a small step back.

"Hi. Can we talk?" I ask quietly. A hear unfamiliar voices inside.

"Sure, but my mom has people over. Let's go on the porch." he says. He shuffles his way past me and out onto the porch and we stand about two feet away, face to face awkwardly.

"Will, I need to explain myself." I start.

"Yeah, you do." he says sternly. I can feel my heart sting.

"After you left that night, the others left at about the same time so it was just me and El. We were talking and it was normal until she just kissed me. I was frozen. I couldn't believe that she would do that when she knows we are together, and that's when you saw us. I pulled away as quick as I could. I'm sorry." I explain slowly. A slight smile appears on his face.

"That's - that's all that happened?" he stutters.

"That's all that happened." I echo.

"You promise, Mike?" he smiles.

"I promise." I say. I slowly inching towards him. I can see his Adam's apple bob up and down as he is about to say something else, but then he stops to place his lips on mine. The kiss is passionate. Our lips move in sync and our hands entangle in each other's hair, pulling one another together even more.

Soon I scoop Will up into my arms and carry him to his bedroom where it's dry and warm and set him on his bed as he laughs hysterically.

Once we both settle down, I stand awkwardly, not wanting get his bed wet from my soaking clothes.

"Oh - oh do you want some clothes? I can give you a sweatshirt and sweatpants." he says, stumbling over to his dresser and pulling out a black sweatshirt and grey sweatpants. I thank him and change in the bathroom, admiring the way his clothes fit me a little snug but how they smell just like him.

When I walk back into his bedroom, he tilts his head up and looks at me, his cheeks immediately going beat red.

"What?" I laugh.

"What do you mean what?" he says shyly.

"You're blushing." I say as he stands up and comes towards me slowly.

"Just seeing you in my clothes it - you - you look really good." he stutters. Now I'm blushing. I place my hands firmly on his hips and kiss his cheek lightly. I kiss his other cheek and then his forehead and this his nose until he is begging me for me to kiss him for real, so I do.

When we finally pull away, I feel totally flustered from all the butterflies in my stomach.

"You're perfect." I whisper.
