[MIKE POV]

Shit. What just happened? Why did I feel like that? He's my best friend. Not my fucking boyfriend. Being- gay is wrong. That's how I was raised. I need to get that shit through my head, I love El. Nobody else. "Where's the spa?" Nancy questioned Steve. The mall is pitch black, the only light being The Gap and the moon shining inside from the glass ceiling. "Up here." Steve and Robin lead us up the escalator which was shut off for the night. "And there it is!" Robin exclaimed in a singy tone, turning left and in front of us was the spa, mixed with a nail salon. "Max?" Dustin looked at her along with everybody else. Max dug through her pocket and pulled out a paperclip and started walking toward the door.

She kneeled down and unfolded half of the paperclip, and held the knob steady. "Is this actually gonna work?" I say as I turn to Lucas. "Depends if Max got lucky when she pick locked the AV club door." he joked, I laugh but before I could reply I hear the doorknob twist and Max stands up. "Got it." "Wait!" Steve yelled and grabbed Max's wrist, Max slapped his hand off of her. "What?" She asked. "I forgot about the cameras in the spa." He told her with his eyes closed, taking a breath of relief. "Dipshit, just break the cameras." Robin pushed him out of the way and followed Max inside.

"That's risky as hell, what about the mall cameras?" I say throwing my hands up. "A little too late now, isn't it?" Max told me with an attitude.  Will and I look at each other, I take a breath then follow the others inside. It's pretty dark till Robin flickers the light switch. "You're not scaring anybody," Steve commented. "Oh, is that why you flinched?" "Mhm very funny, I did not flinch!" I see the spa room. I walk up with Will following me till the other notice and follow as well.  

"Will, you ready?" I look at him, his eyes terrified and he doesn't look at me back but instead keeps his focus on the spa room. "Mike... I change my mind please don-" his eyes are tearing up and he looks devastated. I can't even reply before Steve and Nancy come up behind me and each grab one of Will's arms. "NO! PLEASE, MIKE!" Will screams, Max runs in front of me and opens the door for Steve and Nancy and they throw will in. At this point, he's curled up in a ball sobbing preparing himself for this immense pain.

 "You assholes! What the fuck is wrong with you?" I push Steve. "Will is in there fucking sobbing because you guys couldn't wait for me to talk to him?" "Mike, he's a spy okay you little shit? We had to do that or else he wouldn't have done it no matter what you said." Steve replied, looking down at me. "Mike, it's oka-" I cut Dustin off, "No, it's not! Do you guys even hear him? He's sobbing!" "Mike. We had to. It's too late now so let's just get this asshole out of him, okay?" Nancy told me while walking up to the thermostat.  

I run up to the completely clear door and look at Will, "I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry Will, but after this, it's gonna be okay." He looked me in the eyes, his filled with tears. Sobbing, he let out an "I know. I know." he puts his head back on his knees. "How high does it go?" El asked Nancy. "160." "Is that hot enough?" El inquired again. "It should be good," Dustin replied to her. 

[MAX POV]

"I hope Will can tough through it one more time." Lucas told me, "If  it's the last. I don't think we should be so sure anymore." Lucas breathes out through his nose and looks at Will through the door. "He's gonna be fine you know," I assured him. "Yeah, yeah I know." he didn't take his brown eyes off of Will. His eyes were beautiful. "I turned it up all the way, now we wait," Nancy says as she walks further away from the room. Mike takes his hand off of the clear door and steps further away as well. Minutes pass by, "Ow, ow, ow!" another minute, "Mike! Mike!" He's sobbing frantically. I feel horrible but we need to get this douchebag out of him.
