Friday, 26th June 1988

Last day at work. Hurray! Except, will wasn't happy.
He won't See Mike through the weekend. But this didn't really matter because Mike has been avoiding will since Tuesday. Will didn't know what he had done for mike to avoid him, he had tried talking to him many times but he would find excuses to not speak to will.

On their break, will tried to speak to Mike for the last time. "Mike we need to talk."
"Not right now will" he replied.
"Mike it's always not now! What have I done? Why won't you speak to me!!" ... the silence was deafening. Mike looked almost guilty and will could've sworn he saw tears form in his eyes. "I said not right now." and just like that he walked off.
Will felt numb and embarrassed and he kind of felt like he lost a part of him.

The work shift ended, and will decided he wasn't gonna let mike slip out of his fingers. "Mike please"
"You have no excuses now just talk to me" will said with a voice crack. Trembling, "Im so sorry will" mike kept repeating with his head in his hands. "mike its okay, talk to me im right here." he didn't say anything but instead he just wrapped his arms around wills neck and buried is face into his shoulder. Will was about to question what mike was sorry for but, all the lights started shutting off in the mall.

All the power was turned off. The mall was dead silent, it was that quiet you could hear a pin drop. Breaking up the hug, mike rushed as fast as a lighting bolt towards the starcourt exit trying to open the doors only to find out he had been locked in with will. His best friend was locked in the mall with him.
"OH SHIT." Mike let out.
"mike? what happened" will asked knowing the answer.
"they closed the mall while we are in it. how can you even do that?" Mike carried on ranting about how stupid it is to close the mall while people (just him and will) are in there. But will wasn't paying attention to what mike was saying. He was just admiring his perfect jawline and his red kissable lips and- "will? Are you even listening??"
"Oh yes um.. you were talking about the mall?" loosing focus again and focusing on mikes chocolate brown eyes.
"Where are we even gonna sleep this is a disaster!" Mike said not entirely meaning it. This was his chance. He could be who he is, and no one could tell him different. Not Troy, not his dad. He couldn't control his feelings for will and it hurts. It hurts so bad. He cant even hug him without getting flustered and butterflies fluttering in his stomach. He cant stare at will without peering down to his cherry, coloured lips. He feels safe with will. He feels alive with will. He feels comfortable with will. Willwillwill.
Now it was Mike getting caught up in his thoughts. "Mike! You're zoned out again, is planet earth not good enough for you?" Will said jokingly laughing with his cute little giggle that mike loved.
hes so cute.
